Abstract:

Let $\theta$ denote the set of bounded linear operators T, acting on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal {K}$ such that ${T^\ast }T$ and $T + {T^\ast }$ commute. It is shown that such operators are ${G_1}$. A complete structure theory is developed for the case when $\sigma (T)$ does not intersect the real axis. Using this structure theory, several nonhyponormal operators in $\theta$ with special properties are constructed.
