Isolated point of spectrum of \(p\)-quasihyponormal operators (Q5957205)

A bounded linear operator \(T\) on a complex Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}\) is said to be \(p\)-quasihyponormal for \(0<p\leq 1\) if \(T^* ((T^*T)^p -(TT^*)^p) T\geq 0\). It is shown that the spectral projection \(E\) associated with an isolated point \(\lambda_0\) of the spectrum of a \(p\)-quasihyponormal operator is self-adjoint and has the property \(E{\mathcal H}=\text{ker}(T- \lambda_0)= \text{ker} (T-\lambda_0)^*\) if \(\lambda_0\neq 0\). This does not hold for \(\lambda_0=0\).
