The \(k\)-quasi-\(\ast\)-class \(\mathcal A\) contractions have property PF (Q2262881)

Let \(H\) be a complex separable Hilbert space. For an operator \(T\in L(H)\), set \(|T|=(T^*T)^{1/2}\). The authors investigate a generalization of \(*\)-paranormal operators [\textit{S. C. Arora} and \textit{J. K. Thukral}, Glas. Mat., III. Ser. 21(41), 381--386 (1986; Zbl 0616.47017)], namely, \(k\)-quasi-\(*\)-class \(\mathcal A\) of all \(T\in L(H)\) satisfying \(T^{*k}(|T^2|-|T^*|^2)T^k\geq0\) for an integer \(k\geq0\). They obtain some interesting results on this class, e.g., conditions under which such a \(T\) has a Wold-type decomposition and the Fuglede-Putnam property.
