Let be a separable, infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space, and let denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on . In what follows we shall denote the spectrum, essential spectrum, and left essential spectrum of an operator T in , respectively. Furthermore, if and T1 is unitarily equivalent to a compact perturbation of an operator T2, then we write T1~ T2, and if the compact perturbation can be chosen to have norm less than e, we write T1 ~ T2(ϵ).
