The joint approximate point spectrum of an operator (Q1599806)

The paper under review concerns the joint approximate point spectrum of a bounded linear operator. Let \(T\) be a bounded linear operator acting on \(H\). The approximate point spectrum \(\sigma_a(T)\) is the set of all complex numbers \(\lambda\) such that there is a sequence \(\{x_n\}\) of unit vectors satisfying \((T-\lambda) x_n\to 0\). If, in addition, \((T^*- \overline {\lambda})x_n\to 0\), then \(\lambda\) is said to be in the joint approximate point spectrum \(\sigma_{ja}(T)\) of \(T\). In general, \(\sigma_{ja}(T) \subset \sigma_a(T)\), but the equality is liable to fail. There are many classes of operators \(T\) satisfying \(\sigma_{ja}(T)= \sigma_a(T)\); for example, \(p\)-hyponormal operators and log-hyponormal operators. In this paper, the authors give several spectral properties for operators \(T\) satisfying \(\sigma_{ja}(T)= \sigma_a(T)\).
