文摘Let B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space H.Denote by π the quotient map of B(H) onto the Calkin algebra A(H).In 1984,Apostol et al.raised the following conjecture:If an operator T on H is not similar to a compact perturbation of a Jordan operator,then the similarity orbit of π(T) in A(H) coincides with the π-image of the similarity orbit of T.In this paper,we investigate the structure of similarity orbits in the Calkin algebra and give a negative answer to the above conjecture.
