Inequalities inside operator norm for a normal operator












1












$begingroup$


Suppose $T$ is normal, I am trying to show that



$|T^{n}|^2|T|^2 = |T^{n+1}|^2$



I know that



$|T^{n+1}|^2 = |T^{n}T|^2 leq |T^{n}|^2|T|^2$.



Is there a way to show that



$ |T^{n}|^2|T|^2 leq |T^{n+1}|^2 $?



I could be taking the wrong approach, although I am curious if it is possible to show if the second inequality is true.

          We only need to prove
          $$|T^n|=|T|^n$$
          when $T$ is a normal operator.



          For any operator $R$, we have $$|R^*R|=|R|^2.$$ So for a self-ajoint operator $S$, we have $|S^2|=|S|^2$, thus $$|S^{2^k}|=|S|^{2^k} ~forall kin mathbb{N}.$$
          For any $nin mathbb{N}$, pick a positive integer $k$ such that $n<2^k$, we have $$|S|^{2^k}=|S^{2^k}|=|S^nS^{2^k-n}|leq|S^n||S|^{2^k-n}leq |S|^{2^k},$$ hence $
          |S^n|=|S|^n$
          .
          For a normal operator $T$, $|T^n|^2=|(T^n)^*T^n|=|(T^*T)^n|=|T^*T|^n=|T|^{2n}.$ Done!

          Since $T$ is normal, you have $|T|=r(T)$, the spectral radius. So now your equality, without the squares is saying that
          $$
          max{|lambda|^n: lambdainsigma(T)},max{|lambda|: lambdainsigma(T)}=max{|lambda|^{n+1}: lambdainsigma(T)}.
          $$

          This is trivial after you notice that $max{|lambda|^n: lambdainsigma(T)}=(max{|lambda|: lambdainsigma(T)})^n$.

          Since $T$ is normal, you have $|T|=r(T)$, the spectral radius. So now your equality, without the squares is saying that
          $$
          max{|lambda|^n: lambdainsigma(T)},max{|lambda|: lambdainsigma(T)}=max{|lambda|^{n+1}: lambdainsigma(T)}.
          $$

          This is trivial after you notice that $max{|lambda|^n: lambdainsigma(T)}=(max{|lambda|: lambdainsigma(T)})^n$.

            That makes sense. Is there a way to show that the second inequality is true without applying $|T|=r(T)$? Could one show that $ |T^{n}|^2|T|^2 leq |T^{n+1}|^2 $ directly through properties of the norm?
