A bounded linear operator \(T\) on a Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}\) is called \(p\)-quasihyponormal if \(T^*\{(T^*T)^p- (TT^*)^p\} T\geq 0\) for \(p> 0\). Let \(T= U\|T\|\) be the polar decompositon of \(T\). In [Yokohama Math. J. 41, No. 1, 25-29 (1993; Zbl 0792.47026)], \textit{S. C. Arora} and \textit{Pramod Arora} asserted as follows: if \(T\) is \(p\)-quasihyponormal for some \(p\) such as \(0< p< 1\), then \(T\) is also \(q\)-quasihyponormal for all \(q\) such as \(0< q< p\) and its Aluthge transform \(\widetilde T=|T|^{{1\over 2}} U|T|^{{1\over 2}}\) is \(\min(p+ {1\over 2},1)\)-quasihyponormal in the case where \(U\) is unitary. And, in [Far East J. Math. Sci. 5, No. 3, 531-536 (1997)], \textit{Mi Young Lee} and \textit{Sang Hun Lee} asserted that the above results was generalized as follows: if \(T=U|T|\) is \(p\)-quasihyponormal for some \(p\) such as \(0< p< 1\), then, for a \(\varepsilon\) such as \(0< \varepsilon\leq{1\over 2}\), \(\widetilde T_\varepsilon= |T|^\varepsilon U|T|^{1-\varepsilon}\) is \(\min(p+ \varepsilon, 1)\)-quasihyponormal in the case where \(U\) is unitary. But all these results are incorrect. And, in this paper, the author gave the following counterexample of the above results: a \(p\)-quasihyponormal operator \(T\) for some fixed \(p\) which is not \(q\)-quasihyponormal for all \(q\) such as \(0< q< p\) and its generalized Aluthge transform \(T(s,t)=|T|^s U|T|^t\) \((s,t\geq 0)\) is also not \(q\)-quasihyponormal for all \(q>0\).
