Inequalities of Putnam and Berger-Shaw for \(p\)-quasihyponormal operators (Q1293854)

For a hyponormal operator the norm of its selfcommutator and -- if additionally it is \(n\)-multicyclic -- the trace of its selfcommutator can be estimated by the area of its spectrum. These are Putnam's and Berger-Shaw's inequalities, respectively. [\textit{C. R. Putnam}, Mat. Z. 116, 323-330 (1970; Zbl 0197.10102), \textit{C. A. Berger} and \textit{B. I. Shaw}, Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 79 (1973), 1193-1199 (1974; Zbl 0283.47018).] Both results are generalized to larger classes of operators: \(A\) bounded linear operator \(T\) on a Hilbert space is called \(p\)-quasihyponormal if \(T^*\{(T^*T)^p- (TT^*)^p\}T\geq 0\) for \(0\leq p\leq 1\). The norm of its selfcommutator and -- again if it is \(n\)-multicyclic -- the Schatten norm of its selfcommutator's square is estimated in terms of the operator norm and the area of the spectrum. Similar estimates are obtained for \(p\)-hyponormal operators, i.e. operators with \((T^*T)^p- (TT^*)^p\geq 0\).
