The author proves a result about the \(q\)-hyponormality of Aluthge transform \(T(s,t)\) of a \(p\)-hyponormal operator \(T\). For a bounded linear operator \(T\) on a Hilbert space with its polar decomposition \(T=U|T |=|T^*|U\), \(T(s,t)=|T|^s U|T|^s\) for any \(s\) and \(t\) such as \(s\geq 0\) and \(t\geq 0\), is called the Aluthge transform of \(T\). \textit{A. Aluthge} proved a result concerning this transform where \(s=t=1/2\) under the condition that \(U\) is unitary [Integr. Equ. Oper. Theorem 13, 307-315 (1990; Zbl 0718.47015)]. He proves the following result: Theorem: Let \(T\) be \(p\)-hyponormal for some \(p\) such as \(p>0\). Then, for any \(s\) and \(t\) such as \(\max(s,t)<p\), \(T(s,t)\) is 1-hyponormal and, for any \(s\) and \(t\) such as \(\max (s,t) >p\), \(T(s,t)\) is \((p+\min (s,t))/(s+t)\)-hyponormal.
