THE(U+K)-ORBITS OF ESSENTIALLY NORMAL OPERATORS AND THEIR STRONG IRREDUCIBILITY

The authors characterize the (U+K) orbits of a class essentially normal operators and prove that some essentially normal operators with connected spectrum are strongly irreducible after a small compact perturbation. This partially answers a question of Domigo A. Herrero.

The symmetric space,strong isotropy irreducibility and equigeodesic properties

A smooth curve on a homogeneous manifold G/H is called a Riemannian equigeodesic if it is a homogeneous geodesic for any G-invariant Riemannian metric.The homogeneous manifold G/H is called Riemannian equigeodesic,if for any x∈G/H and any nonzero y∈Tx(G/H),there exists a Riemannian equigeodesic c(t) with c(0)=x and ■(0)=y.These two notions can be naturally transferred to the Finsler setting,which provides the definitions for Finsler equigeodesics and Finsler equigeodesic spaces.We prove two classification theorems for Riemannian equigeodesic spaces and Finsler equigeodesic spaces,respectively.Firstly,a homogeneous manifold G/H with a connected simply connected quasi compact G and a connected H is Riemannian equigeodesic if and only if it can be decomposed as a product of Euclidean factors and compact strongly isotropy irreducible factors.Secondly,a homogeneous manifold G/H with a compact semisimple G is Finsler equigeodesic if and only if it can be locally decomposed as a product,in which each factor is Spin(7)/G2,G2/SU (3) or a symmetric space of compact type.These results imply that the symmetric space and the strongly isotropy irreducible space of compact type can be interpreted by equigeodesic properties.As an application,we classify the homogeneous manifold G/H with a compact semisimple G such that all the G-invariant Finsler metrics on G/H are Berwald.It suggests a new project in homogeneous Finsler geometry,i.e.,to systematically study the homogeneous manifold G/H on which all the G-invariant Finsler metrics satisfy a certain geometric property.

Strongly Cyclic and Strongly Irreducible Decomposition

Let W be an injective unilateral weighted shift, and let W(n) be the orthogonal direct sum of n copies of W. In this paper, we prove that, if the commutant of W is strictly cyclic, then W(n) has a unique (SI) decomposition with respect to similarity for every natural number n.

The Necessary and Sufficient Condition for Strong Irreducibility of Cowen-Douglas Operators

In this note, we show that a Cowen-Douglas operator is strongly irreducible if and only if its commutant algebra rood its Jocobson radical is isomorphic to a closed subalgebra of H^∞ （D）, where D is the open unit disk, and H^∞（D） denotes the collection of bounded holomorphic functions on D.

Small Compact Perturbation of Operators in B∞（Ω）

： We consider an approximation problem related to strongly irreducible operators, that is, does the direct sum of a strongly irreducible operator in B∞（Ω） and certain operator have a small compact perturbation which is a strongly irreducible operator in B∞（Ω）？ In this paper, we prove that the direct sum of any strongly irreducible operator in B∞（Ω） and certain biquasitriangular operator have small compact perturbations which are strongly irreducible operators in B∞（Ω）.

Jordanian Canonical Form of Quasinormal Operator

An operator on a Hilbert space is said to have (SI) decomposition if it is similar to the orthogonal direct sum of some (SI) operators. In this paper, we prove that every operator, which is similar to a quasinormal operator, has (SI)decomposition if and only if it is similar to D ( 0≤j<N λjS), where D is a diagonaloperator, λj is a positive number, N is a natural number or ∞, and S is the unilateral shift.

THE (ｕ＋κ)-ORBIT OF ESSENTIALLY NORMAL OPERATORS AND COMPACT PERTURBATIONS OF STRONGLY IRREDUCIBLE OPERATORS

Let н be a complex, separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space, T ε（Ｈ）. （ｕ＋Ｋ）（T） denotes the （ｕ＋ｋ）-orbit of T, i.e., （ｕ＋ｋ）（T） = {R-1TR: R is invertible and of the form unitary plus compact}. Let be an analytic and simply connected Cauchy domain in C and n ε N. A（, n） denotes the class of operators, each of which satisfies （i） T is essentially normal; （ii） σ（T） =, ρF（T） ∩ σ（T） = ; （iii） ind （λ-T） = -n, nul （λ-T） = 0 （λ∈Ω ）. It is proved that given T1, T2 ε A（, n） and ε > 0, there exists a compact operator K with K <ε such that T1 +Kε （ｕ＋ｋ）（T2）. This result generalizes a result of P. S. Guinand and L. Marcoux [6,15]. Furthermore, the authors give a character of the norm closure of （ｕ＋Ｋ）（T）, and prove that for each T ε A（, n）, there exists a compact （SI） perturbation of T whose norm can be arbitrarily small.

Strongly Irreducible Submodules of Modules

Strongly irreducible submodules of modules are defined as follows： A submodule N of an Rmodule M is said to be strongly irreducible if for submodules L and K of M, the inclusion L ∩ K ∈ N implies that either L ∈ N or K ∈ N. The relationship among the families of irreducible, strongly irreducible, prime and primary submodules of an R-module M is considered, and a characterization of Noetherian modules which contain a non-prime strongly irreducible submodule is given.

Strongly Irreducible Operators on Banach Spaces

This paper firstly discusses the existence of strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces. It shows that there exist strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces with w＊-separable dual. It also gives some properties of strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces. In particular, if T is a strongly irreducible operator on an infinite-dimensional Banach space, then T is not of finite rank and T is not an algebraic operator. On Banach spaces with subsymmetric bases, including infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces, it shows that quasisimilarity does not preserve strong irreducibility. In addition, we show that the strong irreducibility of an operator does not imply the strong irreducibility of its conjugate operator, which is not the same as the property in Hilbert spaces.

Two Classes of Operators with Irreducibility and the Small and Compact Perturbations of Them

This paper gives the concepts of finite dimensional irreducible operators（（FDI） operators）and infinite dimensional irreducible operators（（IDI） operators）. Discusses the relationships of（FDI）operators,（IDI） operators and strongly irreducible operators（（SI） operators） and illustrates some properties of the three classes of operators. Some sufficient conditions for the finite-dimensional irreducibility of operators which have the forms of upper triangular operator matrices are given. This paper proves that every operator with a singleton spectrum is a small compact perturbation of an（FDI） operator on separable Banach spaces and shows that every bounded linear operator T can be approximated by operators in（Σ FDI）（X） with respect to the strong-operator topology and every compact operator K can be approximated by operators in（Σ FDI）（X） with respect to the norm topology on a Banach space X with a Schauder basis, where（ΣFDI）（X） ：= {T∈B（X） ： T=Σki=1Ti, Ti ∈（FDI）, k ∈ N}.

The Commutant of Analytic Toeplitz Operators on Bergman Space

In this paper, using the matrix skills and operator theory techniques we characterize the commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators on Bergman space. For f（z） = z^ng（z） （n ≥1）, g（z） = b0 ＋ b1z^p1 ＋b2z^p2 ＋.. , bk ≠ 0 （k = 0, 1, 2,...）, our main result is =A′（Mf） = A′（Mzn）∩A′（Mg） = A′（Mz^s）, where s = g.c.d.（n,p1,p2,...）. In the last section, we study the relation between strongly irreducible curve and the winding number W（f,f（α））, α ∈ D.

A Note on Heegaard Splittings of Amalgamated 3-Manifolds

Let M be a compact orientable irreducible 3-manifold, and F be an essential connected closed surface in M which cuts M into two manifolds M1 and M2. If Mi has a minimal Heegaard splitting Mi = Vi∪Hi Wi with d（H1） ＋ d（H2） ≥ 2（g（M0 ＋ g（M2） - g（F）） ＋ 1, then g（M） = g（M1） ＋ g（M2） - g（F）.

Similarity invariants of operators on a class of Gowers-Maurey spaces

This paper studies the similarity invariants of operators on a class of Gowers-Maurey spaces, ∑dc spaces, where an infinite dimensional Banach space X is called a ∑dc space if for every bounded linear operator on X the spectrum is disconnected unless it is a singleton. It shows that two strongly irreducible operators T1 and T2 on a ∑dc space are similar if and only if theK0-group of the commutant algebra of the direct sum T1 GT2 is isomorphic to the group of integers Z. On a ∑dc space X, it uses the semigroups of the commutant algebras of operators to give a condition that an operator is similar to some operator in （∑SI）（X）, it further gives a necessary and sufficient condition that two operators in （∑SI）（X） are similar by using the ordered K0-groups. It also proves that every operator in （∑SI）（X） has a unique （SI） decomposition up to similarity on a ∑dc space X, where （∑SI）（X） denotes the class of operators which can be written as a direct sum of finitely many strongly irreducible operators.

K_0-group and similarity of operator weighted shifts

By using simultaneous triangularization technique, similarity for operator weighted shifts with finite multiplicity is characterized in terms of K0-group of commutant algebra. The result supports the conjecture posed by Cao et al. in 1999. Moreover, we discuss the relations between similarity and quasi-similarity for operator weighted shifts.

Unitary Equivalence,Similarity and Calculation of K_0-Group

In this paper, we are concerned with the classification of operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces, in the unitary equivalence sense and the similarity sense, respectively. We show that two strongly irreducible operators A and B are unitary equivalent if and only if W＊（A＋B）′≈M2（C）, and two operators A and B in B1（Ω） are similar if and only if A′（AGB）/J≈M2（C）. Moreover, we obtain V（H^∞（Ω,μ）≈N and Ko（H^∞（Ω,μ）≈Z by the technique of complex geometry, where Ω is a bounded connected open set in C, and μ is a completely non-reducing measure on Ω.
