Crystal complex symmetric operators (Q2192897)

Let \(H\) be a separable complex Hilbert space, \(L(H)\) be the algebra of bounded linear operators defined on \(H\), \(M\) be an invariant subspace of \(L(H)\), i.e., \(T(M)\subset M\) for \(T\in L(H)\), and \(\mathrm{Lat}(T)\) be the set of invariant subspaces by \(T\). We say that \(T\in L(H)\) is crystal-like operator if there is a positive number \(\lambda\) such that \(T_{\restriction_{M}}\) is similar to \(\lambda T\) for each \(M\in \mathrm{Lat}(T)\setminus\{0\}\) and we say that \(T\) is crystal operator when \(\lambda=1\). We say that \(T\in L(H)\) is quasiaffinity if its kernel is trivial and its range is dense. We say that \(T\) is weak crystal if it is a quasiaffine transform of \(T_{\restriction_{M}}\). The authors consider \(C\in L(H)\) such that \(C^2=\mathrm{Id}_H\) (the identity operator on \(H\)) and \(T=CT^*C\), then they state that \(T\) is weak crystal (resp., crystal or crystal-like) if and only if \(T^*\), the adjoint of \(T\), is also weak crystal (resp., crystal or crystal-like). When \(T\) is a quasiaffinity operator, then they sate that \(T\) is weak crystal if and only if \(|T|^{1/2}U|T|^{1/2}\) (resp., \(|T|U\)) is weak crystal such that \(U\) is the partial isometry where its kernel coincides with those of \(T\) and of \(|T|=(T^*T)^{1/2}\).
