Quasinormal operators and reflexive subspaces (Q1880848)

Let \(H\) be a separable Hilbert space and \(B(H)\) be the collection of all bounded linear operators on \(H\). An operator \(T\) is called quasinormal if \(T\) commutes with \(T^{*}T\). The reflexive closure of a subspace \(S \subset B(H)\) is the set Ref\(S=\{A \in B(H): Ax \in {\overline{Sx}}\) for all \(x \in H \}\). A subspace \(S\) is said to be reflexive if Ref\(S=S\). A subspace of operators \(S \subset B(H)\) has property \(A_{1}(1)\) if for all \(\text{weak}^{*}\)-continuous linear functionals \(\phi\) on \(B(H)\) and \(\epsilon >0\), there are \(a,b \in H\) such that \(\| a \|\cdot \| b \| \leq (1+ {\epsilon}) \| \phi \|\) and \(\phi(A)=(Aa,b)\) for all \(A \in S\). Among other results, the authors prove that if \(T \in B(H)\) is a quasinormal operator, then a \(\text{weak}^{*}\)-closed subspace generated by any proper subset of \(\{(T^{*})^{n},T^{n}: n \in \mathbb{N} \}\) is reflexive and has property \(A_{1}(1)\).
