Weyl type theorem and spectrum for \(k\)-quasi-\(\ast\)-class \(A\) operators (Q2844306)

A bounded linear operator \(T\), acting on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space \(H\), is said to be \(k\)-quasi-\(*\)-class \(A\) if NEWLINE\[NEWLINET^*{}^k(|T^2|-|T^*|^2)T^k\geq 0,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(k\) is a positive integer. In this paper, the authors prove that Weyl's theorem and generalized Weyl's theorem hold for every \(k\)-quasi-\(*\)-class \(A\) operator. Also, if \(T^*\) is a \(k\)-quasi-\(*\)-class \(A\) operator, then \(T\) satisfies the generalized \(a\)-Weyl and the \(a\)-Weyl's and Weyl's theorems.NEWLINENEWLINEReviewer's remark. The reviewer would like to point out that the spectral mapping theorem for the Weyl spectrum, proved by the authors for \(k\)-quasi-\(*\)-class \(A\) operators, can be deduced from Corollary 2.6 of \textit{R. E. Curto} and \textit{Y. M. Han} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 67, No. 2, 499--509 (2003; Zbl 1063.47001)] since every \(k\)-quasi-\(*\)-class \(A\) operator satisfies the single valued extension property.
