A note on the star order in Hilbert spaces

Abstract

We study the star order on the algebra L(H) of bounded operators on a Hilbert space H. We present a new interpretation of this order which allows to generalize to this setting many known results for matrices: functional calculus, semi-lattice properties, shorted operators and orthogonal decompositions. We also show several properties for general Hilbert spaces regarding the star order and its relationship with the functional calculus and the polar decomposition, which were unknown even in the finitedimensional setting. We also study the existence of strong limits of starmonotone sequences and nets.Fil: Antezana, Jorge Abel. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
