Some Examples of m-Isometries

Abstract

We obtain the admissible sets on the unit circle to be the spectrum of a strict $m$-isometry on an $n$-finite dimensional Hilbert space. This property gives a better picture of the correct spectrum of an $m$-isometry. We determine that the only $m$-isometries on $\mathbb{R}^2$ are $3$-isometries and isometries giving by $\pm I+Q$, where $Q$ is a nilpotent operator. Moreover, on real Hilbert space, we obtain that $m$-isometries preserve volumes. Also we present a way to construct a strict $(m+1)$-isometry with an $m$-isometry given, using ideas of Aleman and Suciu \cite[Proposition 5.2]{AS} on infinite dimensional Hilbert space.
