    This document presents new results on the Nadir's operator N=ABBA, where A and B are bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. It shows that N is a skew-self adjoint operator and never equal to the identity I. If one of A or B is compact, then N is compact and the operator IN is invertible.

    Some results on the Nadir’s operator

    N = AB BA

    Abstract
    In this paper, we present some new results for the operator N =
    AB BA and study the invertibility of I N in the algebra B(H)
    of all bounded linear operators on a complex separable
    Hilbert space H.

    1 Introduction
    In mathematics, the commutator gives an indication of the extent to which
    a certain binary ....
    The operator N = AB BA of two operators acting on a Hilbert space is
    a central concept in quantum mechanics, since it quanti…es how well the two
    observables described by these operators can be measured simultaneously.
    From this de…nition, we can see that if the operator N is zero, then AB =
    BA so, the order of which the two corresponding measurements are applied
    to the physical system does not matter. On the contrary, if it is non-zero,
    then the order does matter. Finally, This operaator will be called Nadir’s
    operator.

    1.1 Main results


    Theorem 1 Let B(H) be a Banach algebra with unit element I; then for all
    operators A and B in B(H): The operator N = AB BA is is a Skew
    self-adjoint operator and never equal to the indetity I. In other words

    N = AB BA 6= I

    1
    Proof. Indeed, we have

    N = (AB BA )
    = (AB ) (BA )
    = BA AB
    = (AB BA )
    = N:

    Assume that, N = AB BA = I; it follows N = (AB BA ) =


    I = I: Hence, from the relation N = N; we get

    I= I:

    Contradiction

    Proposition 1 The operator N = AB BA is normal

    Indeed, it follows from the theorem 1

    NN = (AB BA ) (AB BA )
    = N ( N)
    = ( N) N
    = N N

    Corollary 1 The operator N 2 is negative, that is to say hN 2 x; xi 0 for


    all non-zero vectors x in H:

    Indeed, it is known that the operator N N is always positive and from


    the proposition 1 N N = ( N ) N = N 2

    Theorem 2 Let A; B be a bounded operator on the Hilbert space H where


    one of the operators A and B is compact, then the operator N = AB BA
    is compact with the operator I N is invertible.

    First case A is compact B bounded

    2
    A compact) A compacr) AB and BA are compacts. Hence N is
    compact.

    Second case B is compact A bounded

    B compact) B compacr) AB and BA are compacts. Hence N is


    compact.
    Besides, it is known that, the operator N is never equal to the identity
    I; then N I 6= 0 and so, N I is injective. Hence N I is bijective.
