Abstract: Let $mathcalH$ be a complex, separable Hilbert space, and $mathcalB(mathcalH)$ denote the set of all bounded linear operators on $mathcalH$. Given an orthogonal projection $PinmathcalB(mathcalH)$ and an operator $DinmathcalB(mathcalH)$, we may write $$ relative to the decomposition $mathcalH=mathrmran,Poplusmathrmran,(I-P)$. In this paper we study the question: for which non-negative integers $j,k$ can we find a normal operator $D$ and an orthogonal projection $P$ such that $mathrmrank,D_2=j$ and $mathrmrank,D_3=k$? Complete results are obtained in the case where $mathrmdim,mathcalH<infty$, and partial results are obtained in the infinite-dimensional setting.
