Linear operators with a normal factorization through Hilbert space

From MaRDI portal





Let \(S:X \to X\) be a bounded linear operator acting on the Banach sapce \(X\), and assume that \(S\) admits a factorization \(S=AT\), where \(T:X\to Y\) and \(A:Y \to X\) are again bounded linear operators. It is well-known that in this case the operators \(S\) and \(TA\) have many spectral properties in common. In the present paper this theme is developed further for the case when the space \(Y\) is a Hilbert space and the operator \(TA\) is selfadjoint or normal. In the latter case \(S\) is said to have a selfadjoint or normal factorization through a Hilbert space. The author presents several examples of integral operators on Banach spaces of functions which have such a normal or selfadjoint factorization. Among other things it is shown that operators with a normal factorization have a rich functional calculus. The closed subalgebra of \({\mathcal L}(X)\) generated by an operator \(S\) with a selfadjoint factorization is also analyzed.
