Douglas factorization theorem revisited

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Inspired by the Douglas lemma, we investigate the solvability of the operator equation AX=C in the framework of Hilbert C*-modules. Utilizing partial isometries, we present its general solution when A is a semi-regular operator. For such an operator A, we show that the equation AX=C has a positive solution if and only if the range inclusion mathcalR(C)subseteqmathcalR(A) holds and CC∗let,CA∗ for some t>0. In addition, we deal with the solvability of the operator equation (P+Q)1/2X=P, where P and Q are projections. We provide a counterexample to show that there exists a C∗-algebra mathfrakA, a Hilbert mathfrakA-module mathscrH and projections P and Q on mathscrH such that the operator equation (P+Q)1/2X=P has no solution. Moreover, we give a perturbation result related to the latter equation.
