On $A$-parallelism and $A$-Birkhoff-James orthogonality of operators

Abstract

In this paper, we establish several characterizations of the $A$-parallelism of bounded linear operators with respect to the seminorm induced by a positive operator $A$ acting on a complex Hilbert space. Among other things, we investigate the relationship between $A$-seminorm-parallelism and $A$-Birkhoff-James orthogonality of $A$-bounded operators. In particular, we characterize $A$-bounded operators which satisfy the $A$-Daugavet equation. In addition, we relate the $A$-Birkhoff-James orthogonality of operators and distance formulas and we give an explicit formula of the center mass for $A$-bounded operators. Some other related results are also discussed.
