Representation and normality of Hyponormal operators in the closure of $\mathcal{AN}$-operators (2208.06574v1)

Abstract: Let $H_1$, $H_2$ be complex Hilbert spaces. A bounded linear operator $T : H_1 \to H_2$ is said to be norm attaining if there exists a unit vector $x \in H_1$ such that $|Tx| = |T|$. If $T|_{M} : M \to H_2$ is norm attaining for every closed subspace $M$ of $H_1$, then we say that $T$ is an absolutely norm attaining ($\mathcal{AN}$-operator). If the norm of the operator is replaced by the minimum modulus $m(T) = \inf{|Tx| : x \in H_1, |x| =1}$, then $T$ is said to be a minimum attaining and an absolutely minimum attaining operator ($\mathcal{AM}$-operator), respectively. In this article, we give representations of quasinormal $\mathcal{AN}$, $\mathcal{AM}$-operators and the operators in the closure of these two classes. Later we extend these results to the class of hyponormal operators in the closure of $\mathcal{AN}$-operators and a further look at some sufficient conditions under which these operators become normal.
