Spectral shorted operators

Abstract: If

m a t h c a l H

is a Hilbert space,

m a t h c a l S s u b s e t e q m a t h c a l H

is a closed subspace of

m a t h c a l H

, and

A

is a positive bounded linear operator on

m a t h c a l H

, the spectral shorted operator

h o (m a t h c a l S, A)

is defined as the infimum of the sequence

S i g m a (m a t h c a l S, A^{n})^{1 / n}

, where

S i g m a (m a t h c a l S, B)

denotes the shorted operator of

B

to

m a t h c a l S

. We characterize the left spectral resolution of

h o (m a t h c a l S, A)

and show several properties of this operator, particularly in the case that

d i m m a t h c a l S = 1

. We use these results to generalize the concept of Kolmogorov complexity for the infinite dimesional case and for non invertible operators.
