Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of propagation phenomena for 2–hyponormal, quadratically hyponormal, and cubically hyponormal operator-valued weighted shifts. First, we show that every quadratically hyponormal matrix-valued weighted shift with two equal weights (excluding the initial weight) is flat. Second, we show that a cubically hyponormal operator-valued weighted shift with two equal weights (possibly including the initial weight) is flat. Next, we introduce a local flatness notion for matrix-valued weighted shifts. We prove that 2–hyponormal (in particular, subnormal) matrix-valued weighted shifts satisfy this stronger propagation phenomenon. As a result, we prove a structural decomposition theorem for 2–hyponormal matrix-valued weighted shifts.
