Abstract

Let T ≡ (T1, T2) be a commuting pair of Hilbert space operators, and let P := √T1T1 + T2T2 be the positive factor in the (joint) polar decomposition of T; that is, Ti= ViP (i = 1, 2). The spherical Aluthge transform of T is the (necessarily commuting) pair Δsph(T) := (√PV1P,√PV2P). In this paper, we focus on the asymptotic behavior of the sequence {Δ(n) sph(T)}>n≥1 as n → ∞, where Δ(1)sph(T) := Δsph(T) and Δ(n+1) sph (T) := Δsph(n) sph(T)) (n ≥ 1). In those cases when the limit exists, the limit pair is a fixed point for the spherical Aluthge transform, that is, a spherically quasinormal pair. For a suitable class of 2-variable weighted shifts, we establish the convergence of the sequence of iterates in the weak operator topology.
