Abstract

AbstractGiven a weighted shift T of multiplicity two, we study the set $\sqrt {T}$ of all square roots of T. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions on the weight sequence so that this set is non-empty. We show that when such conditions are satisfied, $\sqrt {T}$ contains a certain special class of operators. We also obtain a complete description of all operators in $\sqrt {T}$ .
