Abstract:The theory of subnormal operators is the symbiotic interplay between operator theory and the theory of rational approximation. To see the connection, recall first some definitions. A (bounded linear) operator T on a (complex) Hilbert space % is called normal if T commutes with its adjoint, T*. The operator T is called subnormal if it is possible to imbed % in a larger Hilbert space % and to find a normal operator N on % leaving % invariant (i.e., Ni G %, £ G %) such that T is the restriction of N to %. If T is… Show more
