For an arbitrary operator T acting on a Hilbert space we consider a field of operators p∆ z pT qq called the Aluthge operator field associated with T . After giving preliminary results, we establish that two fields (left and right), canonically linked to the Altuthge field p∆ z pT qq and a support subspace, are constant on each horizontal segment where they are defined. This result leads to a positive solution of a conjecture stated by Jung-Ko-Pearcy in 2000. Then we do a detailed spectral study of p∆ z pT qq and we give a Yamazaki type formula in this context.As usual, we write σ p pT q, σ app pT q, σ res pT q, σ e pT q, σ le pT q, σ re pT q and σ surj pT q for the point spectrum, the approximate point spectrum, the residual spectrum, the essential spectrum, the left essential spectrum, the right essential spectrum and the surjective spectrum of T , respectively. Recall that an operator T P BpHq is said to be Weyl if it is Fredholm of index zero and Browder if it is Fredholm of finite ascent and descent. The Weyl spectrum σ w pT q and the Browder spectrum σ b pT q of T P BpHq are defined by σ w pT q " tλ P C : λI ´T is not Weylu σ b pT q " tλ P C : λI ´T is not Browderu . Denote by S the open strip of the complex plane defined by S " tz P C; 0 ă pzq ă 1u . Let T P BpHq and let T " U |T | be its polar decomposition, we define the Aluthge field of operators associated with T by setting ∆ z pT q " |T | z U |T | 1´z Date: 20/10/2020. ˚Corresponding author.
