CHAPTER 3.<br />

HYPONORMAL AND SUBNORMAL THEORY<br />

Proof. Fix ∥f∥ ≤ 1 and let K ≡ ∨ {r(s)f : r ∈ Rat (σ(S))}. If T = S| K then T is an<br />

1-multicyclic hyp<strong>on</strong>ormal operator. By the Berger-Shaw theorem and the fact that<br />

∥T ∗ f∥ ≤ ∥S ∗ f∥, we get<br />

Since f was arbitrary, the result follows.<br />

⟨[S ∗ , S]f, f⟩ = ∥Sf∥ 2 − ∥S ∗ f∥ 2<br />

≤ ∥T f∥ 2 − ∥T ∗ f∥ 2<br />

= ⟨[T ∗ , T ]f, f⟩<br />

≤ tr [T ∗ , T ]<br />

≤ 1 Area(σ(T ))<br />

≤ 1 π Area(σ(S)).<br />

Corollary 3.2.8. If S is a hyp<strong>on</strong>ormal operator such that Area (σ(S)) = 0 then S is<br />

normal.<br />
