Abstract

In this paper we explore finite rank perturbations of unilateral weighted shifts W α. First, we prove that the subnormality of W α is never stable under nonzero finite rank perturbations unless the perturbation occurs at the zeroth weight. Second, we establish that 2-hyponormality implies positive quadratic hyponormality, in the sense that the Maclaurin coefficients of D n(s):= det P n [(Wα + sW α 2}*, W α + sW α 2] Pn are nonnegative, for every n ≥ 0, where P n denotes the orthogonal projection onto the basis vectors {e 0, ⋯, e n}. Finally, for α strictly increasing and W α 2-hyponormal, we show that for a small finite-rank perturbation α′ of α, the shift W α′ remains quadratically hyponormal.
