Quasinormality and Fuglede--Putnam theorem for class \(A(s,t)\) operators (Q874873)

The authors of this paper investigate several properties of Aluthge transform \(T(s,t)=| T| ^s U | T| ^t\) of a bounded linear operator \(T\) acting on a complex Hilbert space \(\mathcal{H}\), where \(T=U| T| \) is the polar decomposition of \(T\). They show that, if \(T\) is a class \(A(s,t)\) operator and \(T(s,t)\) is quasinormal, then \(T\) is also quasinormal; if \(T\) is a contraction with \(\text{ker}\, T=\text{ker}\,T^2\) and \(T(s,t)\) is a partial isometry, then \(T\) is a quasinormal partial isometry; if \(T\) is paranormal and \(T(s,t)\) is a partial isometry, then \(T\) is quasinormal partial isometry. Furthermore, the authors consider the Fuglede--Putnam theorem for the class \(A(s,t)\).
