Douglas range factorization theorem for regular operators on Hilbert \(C^\ast\)-modules (Q380199)

In this paper, factorization results for regular operators on Hilbert \(C^*\)-modules are obtained. It is shown that, if \(t\) and \(s\) are regular operators on a Hilbert \(C^*\)-module \(E\), \(\mathrm{ran}(t)\subseteq \mathrm{ran}(s)\) and \(s\) has a generalized inverse, then there exists a densely defined operator \(r\) on \(E\) such that \(t=sr\). If \(s\) is boundedly adjointable, then \(r\) is closed densely defined and its graph is orthogonally complemented in \(E \oplus E\) and, if \(t\) is boundedly adjointable, then \(r\) is boundedly adjointable.
