n−(α, β) - normal operator
for all positive integer n. Moreover, we prove that if T = U |T | is p − (α, β)
- normal operator for 0 < p < 1, the Aluthge transform T̃ = |T | 12 U |T | 12 is(p + 1

H . An operator T is said to be normal if TT ∗ = T ∗T and hyponormal ifTT ∗ ≤ T ∗T . An operator T is said to be dominant if ran (T − λI) ⊆ ran(T − λI)∗ for all λ ∈ C or equivalently there exists a real number Mλ foreach λ ∈ C such that ‖(T − λI)∗x‖ ≤ Mλ ‖(T − λI)x‖ for each x ∈ H . Ifthere exists a constant M such that Mλ ⊆ M for all λ ∈ C, then T is calledM - hyponormal and if M = 1, T is hyponormal. The class of Hyponormaloperators has been studied by many authors. In recent years this class hasbeen generalized, in some sense,to the larger sets of so called p - hyponormal,log hyponormal, Posinormal, etc [7],[8], [5], [1] and [2]. An operator T ∈ B(H)is said to be-p-hyponormal for 0 < p < 1 iff (TT ∗)p ≤ (T ∗T )p,-p-posinormal if (TT ∗)p ≤ c2(T ∗T )p,-(α, β)-nomal operators if α2T ∗T ≤ TT ∗ ≤ β2T ∗T, 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 ≤ β [6].
The example of an M - hyponormal operator given by Wadhwa [12], theweighted shift operator defined by Te1 = e2, T e2 = 2e3 and Tei = ei+1 fori ≥ 0, is not an p − (α, β) normal, which is neither normal nor hyponormal.So it is clear that the class of p − (α, β) normal lies between hyponormal andM - hyponormal operators. Now the inclusion relation becomes
Normal ⊆ Hyponormal ⊆ (α, β) normal⊆ p − (α, β) normal ⊆ M - hyponormal ⊆ Dominant
S.S Dragomir and M.S.Moslehian [3] and [6] has given various inequalitiesbetween the operator norm and numerical radius of (α, β) - normal operators. Weyl type theorems and composition operators of (α, β) have been studiedby D.SenthilKumar and Sherin Joy.S.M [10, 11]. As a generalisation of (α, β)- normal operators, we introduce p − (α, β) - normal operators. When p = 1,this coincide with (α, β)-normal operators.
2. on p − (α, β) normal operators
Proposition 2.1. If T ∈ B(H) ,then the following statements are equivalent:(i) T ∈ p − (α, β) normal operators.(ii)Range |T |p= Range |T |∗p
, kerT p=kerT ∗p
(iii)There exist S1, S2 ∈ B(H) such that |T ∗|p = |T |pS1, |T |p = |T ∗|pS2
(iv)There exist positive operators P1, P2 such that|T ∗|2p = |T |pP1|T |p, |T |2p = |T |∗p
P2|T |∗p.
Theorem 2.2. Let T be an p − (α, β) normal operator then(i)λT is p − (α, β) normal operator(ii)the translate T − λ need not be p − (α, β) normal operator.
On p-(α, β)-normal operators 2043
Proof. (i)Let T be an p − (α, β) normal operator, then
α2(T ∗T )p ≤ (TT ∗)p ≤ β2(T ∗T )p
α2((λT )∗λT )p ≤ (λT (λT )∗)p ≤ β2((λT )∗λT )p
α2(λ∗)pλp(T ∗T )p ≤ (λ∗)pλp(TT ∗)p ≤ β2(λ∗)pλp(T ∗T )p
α2(T ∗T )p ≤ (TT ∗)p ≤ β2(T ∗T )p.
Therefore λT is p − (α, β) normal operator.(ii) The operator T = U∗ − 2, where U is the unilateral shift since 2 /∈ σ(U∗)[5] , T is p − (α, β) normal operator but U∗ is not p − (α, β) normal, U isp − (α, β) normal.
Theorem 2.3. Let T = U |T | ∈ B(H) be the polar decomposition of T. ThenT ∈ p− (α, β) normal operator iff there exist a positive number α, β such thatα‖|T |px‖‖|T |py‖ ≤ |(U |T |2px, y)| ≤ β‖|T |px‖‖|T |py‖.Proof. By assumption T is p − (α, β) normal operator
|(U |T |2px, y)| = |(|T |2px, U∗y)|= ‖|T |px‖‖|T |pU∗y‖= ‖|T |px‖‖|T ∗|py‖≤ ‖|T |px‖β‖|T |py‖.
Similarily
|(U |T |2px, y)| = |(|T |2px, U∗y)|= ‖|T |px‖‖|T ∗|py‖≥ ‖|T |px‖α‖|T |py‖.
Thereforeα‖|T |px‖‖|T |py‖ ≤ |(U |T |2px, y)| ≤ β‖|T |px‖‖|T |py‖.
Theorem 2.4 (Mc Carthy [2]). Let A ≥ 0. Then(i) (Ax, x)r ≤ ‖x‖2(r−1)(Arx, x) if r ≥ 1(ii) (Ax, x)r ≥ ‖x‖2(r−1)(Arx, x) if 0 ≤ r ≤ 1.
Theorem 2.5. If T is p− (α, β) normal operator then T is M - paranormal.
Proof. Let T = U |T | be the polar decomposition of T. Since T is p − (α, β)normal operator,
α2|T |2p ≤ U |T |2pU∗ ≤ β2|T |2p
⇒ U |T |2pU∗ ≤ β2|T |2p
⇒ |T |2p ≤ β2U∗|T |2pU.
Hence by Theorem 2.4, for all x ∈ H with ‖x‖ = 1
β2‖T 2x‖2 = β2(T ∗TTx, Tx)

‖Tx‖4 ≤ β2‖T 2x‖2
Therefore , ‖Tx‖2 ≤ β‖T 2x‖ T is M -paranormal.
Corollary 2.6. If T is p − (α, β) normal operator and V is isometry, thenV TV ∗ is also p − (α, β) normal operator.
Proof. Let T ∈ B(H) , there exists some positive operators K1 and K2 suchthat
|T ∗|2p = |T |pK1|T |p|T |2p = |T ∗|pK2|T ∗|p
Let
|T ∗0 |2p = V |T ∗|2pV ∗
= V |T |pK1|T |pV ∗
= |T0|pV K1V∗|T0|p( since V is isometry ).
Let
|T0|2p = V |T |2pV ∗
= V |T ∗|pK2|T ∗|pV ∗
= |T ∗0 |pV K2V
∗|T ∗0 |p( since V is isometry )
V TV ∗ is p − (α, β) normal operator .

Theorem 2.7. Let T be p − (α, β) normal operator , then there exist M > 0such that
‖T kx‖2 ≤ Mp‖T k−1x‖‖T k+1x‖ for all unit vectors x ∈ H.
Proof. T is p − (α, β) normal operator
‖T k+1x‖2 = (T k+1x, T k+1x)
= (T ∗TT kx, T kx)
= ((|T |2p)1/pT kx, T kx)

≥ β−2/p‖T kx‖4‖T k−1x‖−2
‖T kx‖2 ≤ β1/p‖T k−1x‖‖T k+1x‖
Theorem 2.8. Let T be p − (α, β) normal operator and S is a self adjointoperator on H. If TS is a contraction,then α ≤ ‖TS‖p ≤ β.
Proof. By p − (α, β) normal operator, we have
α‖TSx‖p ≤ ‖T ∗S∗x‖p ≤ β‖TSx‖p
α‖x‖p ≤ ‖(ST )∗x‖p ≤ β‖x‖p
α ≤ ‖ST‖p ≤ β
α ≤ ‖TS‖p ≤ β.
Lemma 2.9. If T is p− (α, β) normal operator such that αβ = 1, then T ∗ isalso p − (α, β) normal operator.
Proof. From the definition of p − (α, β) normal operator
α2(T ∗T )p ≤ (TT ∗)p ≤ β2(T ∗T )p
α4(T ∗T )p ≤ α2(TT ∗)p ≤ α2β2(T ∗T )p (2.1)
and
α2β2(T ∗T )p ≤ β2(TT ∗)p ≤ β4(T ∗T )p (2.2)
2046 D. Senthilkumar and R. Santhi
From above two equations,α2(T ∗T )p ≤ α2β2(T ∗T )p ≤ β2(TT ∗)p.
Therefore,α2(TT ∗)p ≤ (T ∗T )p ≤ β2(TT ∗)p
T ∗ is also p − (α, β) normal operator if αβ = 1.
Theorem 2.10. Tf T is p − (α, β) normal operator and S is an unitary op-erator such that TS =ST then C= TS is also p − (α, β) normal operator .
Proof.
α2(C∗C)p ≤ CC∗p ≤ β2(C∗C)p
α2((TS)∗TS)p ≤ TS(TS)∗p ≤ β2((TS)∗TS)p
α2(S∗T ∗TS)p ≤ TSS∗T ∗p ≤ β2(S∗T ∗TS)p
α2(T ∗S∗ST )p ≤ (TT ∗)p ≤ β2(T ∗S∗ST )p
α2(T ∗T )p ≤ (TT ∗)p ≤ β2(T ∗T )p( since S is unitary ).
Hence, TS is p − (α, β) normal operator.
3. Aluthge Transformation on powers of p − (α, β) - normaloperators
An operator T can be decomposed into T = U |T | where U is partial isometryand |T | is square root of T ∗T with N(U) = N(|T |) and this kernal conditionN(U) = N(|T |) uniquely determines U and |T | in the polar decomposition ofT . In this section T = U |T | denotes the polar decomposition satisfying thekernal condition N(U) = N(|T |).
In this section, we consider new properties as an extension of p - hyponormaloperators using the generalized Aluthge transform. In this section, we provethat if T is p−(α, β) - normal operator then T n is p
n−(α, β) - normal operator
for all positive integer n. Moreover, we prove that if T = U |T | is p − (α, β)
- normal operator for 0 < p < 1, the Aluthge transform T̃ = |T | 12 U |T | 12 is(p + 1
2) - (α, β) - normal operator.
For an operator T = U |T | defines T̃ as follows :
T̃s,t = |T |sU |T |tfor s, t > 0 which is called the generalized Aluthge transform of T . In thissection, we will study p − (α, β) - normal operators using their generalizedAluthge transform.

Theorem 3.2. Let T = U |T | be the polar decomposition of p−(α, β) - normaloperator for 0 < p ≤ 1 then
1) T̃s,t = |T |sU |T |t is p+min(s,t)s+t
−(α, β) - normal for s, t > 0 such that max(s, t) ≥p.2) T̃s,t is (α, β) - normal for 0 < s, t ≤ p.
Proof. Let T be p − (α, β) - normal operator thenα2(T ∗T )p ≤ (TT ∗)p ≤ β2(T ∗T )p
α2|T |2p ≤ |T ∗|2p ≤ β2|T |2p
(1) Assume A = α2|T |2p , B = |T ∗|2p and C = β2|T |2p. Then,

p+min(s,t)p

p (T̃ ∗s,tT̃s,t)
p+min(s,t)s+t
So, we have
(T̃s,tT̃∗s,t)
p+min(s,t)s+t ≤ (β2)

p (T̃ ∗s,tT̃s,t)
p+min(s,t)s+t ≤ (T̃s,tT̃

p+min(s,t)s+t
≤ (β2)p+min(s,t)
p (T̃ ∗s,tT̃s,t)
p+min(s,t)s+t .Since
s+tp+min(s,t)

) ≥ (s/p) + (t/p), (1 + s/p)( s+tp+min(s,t)
) ≥(s/p) + (t/p).
Therefore T̃s,t is p+min(s,t)s+t
p − (α, β) - normal.
(2) Applying Lowner - Heinz Inequality, we have

By induction β−(p+1)
p(n−1)(T ∗T )p+1 ≤ (T n∗
T n)p+1
n ≤ α−(p+1)
p(n−1)(T ∗T )p+1
holds for n = k. Since Ak = (T ∗kT k)p/k ≥ β−(k−1)(T ∗T )p ≥ β−(k+1)B1.
2050 D. Senthilkumar and R. Santhi
Ak = (T ∗kT k)p/k ≤ α−(k−1)(T ∗T )p ≤ α−(k+1)B1.
It follows that

Proof. Let T be p − (α, β) - normal operator, then by Theorem 3.4, we have
So, T n is pn

Definition 4.1. An operator T is called totally p − (α, β)- normal, if thetranslate T − λ is p − (α, β)- normal for all λ ∈ C
Definition 4.2. An operator T is called algebraically p − (α, β)- normal, ifthere exists a non constant polynomial p such that p(T ) is p− (α, β)- normal.
Definition 4.3. Let T ∈ B(H). The reducing point spectrum of T , σpr(T )is the set of scalars λ for which there exists x = 0 such that Tx = λx andT ∗x = λx.
Definition 4.4. An operator T ∈ B(H) is called finite if ‖TX −XT −I‖ ≥ 1for every X ∈ B(H).
Equivalently if σpr(T ) = 0 then T is a finite operator.
Theorem 4.5. Every totally p − (α, β) - normal operator is finite.
Proof. Since ker(T − λ)p = ker((T − λ)∗)p and since T − λ is p - (α,β)-normalfor every λ, we get σp(T ) = σpr(T ). And since ∂σ(T ) ⊂ σp(T ), we get σpr(T ) =0.
Definition 4.6. Let M2 = {AB : A, B ∈ M} where M denote the class ofall self adjoint operators. This class is defined and its various properties arestudied in [9]
Theorem 4.7. An p− (α, β)-normal operator T ∈ M2 is necessarily normal.
Proof. Let T = AB with A = A∗ and B = B∗. Consider the following twocases:
Case 1: A is injective, Then AT ∗ = TA and hence T is normal [9]Theorem3.a.
Case 2: A has a non-trivial null space N.
Let A =
(A1 00 0
)and B =
(B1 B2
B3 B4
)with respect to N⊥ ⊕ N where A1 is an injective self adjoint operator and
B1 is self adjoint. Then T =
(A1B1 A1B2
0 0
)Since A1B1 is the restriction of T to an invariant subspace, A1B1 is p− (α, β)- normal and hence by case 1 it is normal. By [9](Theorem 4) N is a reducinginvariant subspace of T and hence A1B2 = 0. This implies T is normal.
Theorem 4.8. Every p−(α, β) - normal operator can be written as T = A⊕Swhere A is normal and S is p − (α, β) - normal with σw(S) = σ(S).
Proof. By Weyl’s theorem σ(T )\σw(T ) = π00(T ) . Let N be a closed linearsubspace of H generated by λi ∈ π00(T )
⋃N(T − λi) Then N is reduced by
T . The decomposition H = N ⊕ N⊥ gives T = A ⊕ S where A is normal andS is p − (α, β) - normal and σw(S) = σ(S).
