Abstract

In the following we generalize the concept of Birkhoff–James orthogonality of operators on a Hilbert space when a semi-inner product is considered. More precisely, for linear operators T and S on a complex Hilbert space H, a new relation TABS is defined if T and S are bounded with respect to the seminorm induced by a positive operator A satisfying T+γSATA for all γC. We extend a theorem due to Bhatia and Šemrl by proving that TABS if and only if there exists a sequence of A-unit vectors {xn} in H such that lim n+TxnA=TA and lim n+Txn,SxnA=0. In addition, we give some A-distance formulas. Particularly, we prove

inf γCT+γSA=sup {|Tx,yA|;xA=yA=1,Sx,yA=0}. Some other related results are also discussed.
