Recursively generated weighted shifts and the subnormal completion problem. II. (English) Zbl 0807.47016

Summary: Recursively generated weighted shifts are employed to exhibit a large collection of quadratically hyponormal shifts which are not subnormal. This result is reached after analyzing 1-step extensions of recursive subnormal completions generated from three-weight data. The techniques make use of the subnormal completion criterion, and allow us to obtain additional criteria to distinguish between the various classes of \(k\)- hyponormal weighted shifts. Applications to bilateral shifts are also included.
