Restrictions of essentially normal operators
Let \({\mathcal H}\) be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and \({\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on \({\mathcal H}\). Let \({\mathcal C}\) denote the ideal of all compact operators in \({\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\), and let \(\pi\) denote the natural quotient map of \({\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) onto the Calkin algebra \({\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})/{\mathcal C}\). An operator \(T\in {\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) is called essentially normal if \(\pi\) (T) is normal. Analogously, \(T\in {\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) is called essentially subnormal if \(\pi\) (T) is subnormal. If \(T\in {\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) is essentially subnormal, then \(\pi\) (T) has a normal extension but it is an open question whether T has an extension \(T^ e\) such that \(\pi (T^ e)\) is normal. The author gives a necessary and sufficient condition that the essentially subnormal operator \(T\in {\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) has an essentially normal extension.
