Convergence of the iterated Aluthge transform sequence for diagonalizable matrices

Abstract: Given an

r i m e s r

complex matrix

T

, if

T = U | T |

is the polar decomposition of

T

, then, the Aluthge transform is defined by

Delta(T)= |T|^{1/2} U |T |^{1/2}.

Let

D e l t a^{n} (T)

denote the n-times iterated Aluthge transform of

T

, i.e.

D e l t a^{0} (T) = T

and

D e l t a^{n} (T) = D e l t a (D e l t a^{n - 1} (T))

,

n i n m a t h b b N

. We prove that the sequence

{D e l t a^{n} (T)}_{n i n m a t h b b N}

converges for every

r i m e s r

{�f diagonalizable} matrix

T

. We show that the limit

D e l t a^{i n f t y} (c d o t)

is a map of class

C^{i} n f t y

on the similarity orbit of a diagonalizable matrix, and %of class

C^{i} n f t y

on the (open and dense) set of

r i m e s r

matrices with

r

different eigenvalues.
