Slant joint antieigenvalues and antieigenvectors of operators in normal subalgebras (Q624547)

The author introduces the notion of slant joint antieigenvalues and antieigenvectors of pairs of operators that belong to the same closed normal subalgebra of the algebra of bounded operators on a separable Hilbert space. More precisely, he introduces the slant joint antieigenvalue of two such operators \(T\) and \(S\) by \(\mu(T,S)= \inf\{ \frac{\text{Re}(Tf,Sf) + \text{Im}(Tf,Sf)}{\|Tf\|\,\|Sf\|}: Tf\neq 0,Sf\neq 0\}\). A vector \(f\) for which the infimum is attained is called a joint antieigenvector of \(T\) and \(S\). Thus he extends the slant antieigenvalue theory from single normal operators to pairs of normal operators. He also extends the Greub-Rheinboldt inequality from two positive operators to two normal operators.
