On Compact Perturbations of Operators
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Extract
Recently R. G. Douglas showed [4] that if V is a nonunitary isometry and U is a unitary operator (both acting on a complex, separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space ), then V — K is unitarily equivalent to V ⊕ U (acting on
⊕
) where K is a compact operator of arbitrarily small norm. In this note we shall prove a much more general theorem which seems to indicate "why" Douglas' theorem holds (and which yields Douglas' theorem as a corollary).
