We investigate some bounded linear operators T on a Hilbert space which satisfy the condition i1" class="mathmlsrc">i1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X15011907&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=6465e7780659d4520553826f515125aa" title="Click to view the MathML source">|T|≤|ReT|. We describe the maximum invariant subspace for a contraction T on which T is a partial isometry to obtain that, in certain cases, the above condition ensures that T is self-adjoint. In other words we show that the Fong–Tsui conjecture holds for partial isometries, contractive quasi-isometries, or 2-quasi-isometries, and Brownian isometries of positive covariance, or even for a more general class of operators.
