On restricted diagonalization

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let mathcalH be a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space, mathcalB(mathcalH) the algebra of bounded linear operators acting on mathcalH and mathcalJ a proper two-sided ideal of mathcalB(mathcalH). Denote by mathcalUmathcalJ(mathcalH) the group of all unitary operators of the form I+mathcalJ. Recall that an operator AinmathcalB(mathcalH) is diagonalizable if there exists a unitary operator U such that UAU∗ is diagonal with respect to some orthonormal basis. A more restrictive notion of diagonalization can be formulated with respect to a fixed orthonormal basis mathrme=enngeq1 and a proper operator ideal mathcalJ as follows: AinmathcalB(mathcalH) is called restricted diagonalizable if there exists UinmathcalUmathcalJ(mathcalH) such that UAU∗ is diagonal with respect to mathrme. In this work we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a diagonalizable operator to be restricted diagonalizable. Our conditions become a characterization of those diagonalizable operators which are restricted diagonalizable when the ideal is arithmetic mean closed. Then we obtain results on the structure of the set of all restricted diagonalizable operators. In this way we answer several open problems recently raised by Beltic{t}, Patnaik and Weiss.
