Abstract: Let mathcalH be a complex, separable Hilbert space and mathcalB(mathcalH) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on mathcalH. Given a unitarily-invariant norm |cdot|u on mathcalB(mathcalH) and two linear operators A and B in mathcalB(mathcalH), we shall say that A and B are emph{polynomially isometric relative to} |cdot|u if |p(A)|u=|p(B)|u for all polynomials p. In this paper, we examine to what extent an operator A being polynomially isometric to a normal operator N implies that A is itself normal. More explicitly, we first show that if |cdot|u is any unitarily-invariant norm on mathbbMn(mathbbC), if A,NinmathbbMn(mathbbC) are polynomially isometric and N is normal, then A is normal. We then extend this result to the infinite-dimensional setting by showing that if A,NinmathcalB(mathcalH) are polynomially isometric relative to the operator norm and N is a normal operator whose spectrum neither disconnects the plane nor has interior, then A is normal, while if the spectrum of N is not of this form, then there always exists a non-normal operator B such that B and N are polynomially isometric. Finally, we show that if A and N are compact operators with N normal, and if A and N are polynomially isometric with respect to the (c,p)-norm studied by Chan, Li and Tu, then A is again normal.
