Abstract

Given an n-step extension α : xn, ⋯, x1, (α0, ⋯, αk)∧ of a recursively generated weight sequence (0 < α0 < ⋯ < αk), and if Wα denotes the associated unilateral weighted shift, we prove that Wα is subnormal ⇔ Wα is ([k+1/2] + 1)-hyponormal (n = 1), Wα is ([k+1/2] + 2)-hyponormal (n > 1). In particular, the subnormality of an extension of a recursively generated weighted shift is independent of its length if the length is bigger than 1. As a consequence we see that if α(x) is a canonical rank-one perturbation of the recursive weight sequence α, then subnormality and k-hyponormality for Wα(x) eventually coincide. We then examine a converse-an "extremality" problem: Let α(x) be a canonical rank-one perturbation of a weight sequence a and assume that (k + 1)-hyponormality and k-hyponormality for Wα(x) coincide. We show that α(x) is recursively generated, i.e., Wα(x) is recursive subnormal.
