An example of non-reducing eigenspace of a paranormal operator (Q1428977)

A Hilbert space operator \(T\in B(H)\) is paranormal if \(||Tx||^2\leq ||T^2x||\) for every unit vector \(x\in H\). The author presents an example of a paranormal operator \(T\) with a nonzero eigenvalue \(\lambda\) such that \((T-\lambda)^{-1}(0)\) does not reduce \(T\). This yields yet another proof of the fact that the subclasses consisting of operators \(T\in B(H)\) which are either hyponormal or \(p\)-hyponormal (\(0<p<1\)) or \(w\)-hyponormal or \(p\)-quasihyponormal (\(0<p<1\)) or satisfying \(|T|^2\leq |T^2|\) are proper subclasses of the class of paranormal operators.
