Weyl type theorems for a certain class of operators (Q2466290)

Let \(B(H)\) denote the algebra of bounded linear operators on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space \(H\). For \(A\in B(H)\), let \(H_0(A)=\{x\in H: {\displaystyle\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}}\|A^nx\|^{\frac{1}{n}}=0\}\) and let \(H(q)\) denote the class of \(A\in B(H)\) for which \(H_0(A-\lambda I)=\text{Ker}(A-\lambda I)^q\) for all complex numbers \(\lambda\) and some integer \(q\geq 1\). The class \(H(q)\) contains the classes of generalized scalar, hyponormal and \(p\)-hyponormal operators \((0<p<1)\), for example. An operator is called algebraically class \(H(q)\) if \(p(A)\) is class \(H(q)\) for some nonconstant polynomial \(p\). The main result of the paper shows that if \(A\) is an algebraically class \(H(q)\) operator, then the generalized Weyl's theorem holds for \(f(A)\) for every function \(f\) analytic in a neighborhood of the spectrum of \(A\).
