Invertibility of the square root of an operator
Let $mathcal{B}(F)$ the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $F$. Let $Min mathcal{B}(F)^+$ (i.e. $langle Mx;, ;xranglegeq 0$ for all $xin F$).
The square root of $M$ is defined to be the unique operator $N$ such that
$$N^2=M.$$In this case we write $N=M^{1/2}$
If $M$ is an invertible operators, is $M^{1/2}$ invertible?

Note that $M$ is invertible if and only if there is $epsilon>0$ such that
$$sigma(M)subset [epsilon, infty).$$ Thus $sigma(M^{1/2})subset [epsilon^{1/2},infty)$ and $M^{1/2}$ is invertible.
Thank you for the answer. Is your equivalence well known?

I think it is. It is in fact easier than it seems. Since $Mge 0$, we know $sigma(M)subset [0,infty)$. But if $M$ is invertible, we must have $epsilon =min sigma(M) >0$. The other direction is true since $0notin sigma(M)$ means $M$ is invertible.

According to our answer, the converse is also true. That is if $A^{1/2}$ is invertible, then $A$ is also invertible. Do you agree with me? Thanks.

$N(x)=N(y)$ implies $M(x)=N^2(x)=N^2(y)=M(y)$ since $M$ is injective, we deduce that $N$ is injective.
For every $y$, $y=M(x)=N(N(x))$ implies that $N$ is surjective and open (open mapping theorem)
This implies that the inverse of $N$ is continuous $N$ and $N$ is invertible.

Note that $M$ is invertible if and only if there is $epsilon>0$ such that
$$sigma(M)subset [epsilon, infty).$$ Thus $sigma(M^{1/2})subset [epsilon^{1/2},infty)$ and $M^{1/2}$ is invertible.
Thank you for the answer. Is your equivalence well known?

I think it is. It is in fact easier than it seems. Since $Mge 0$, we know $sigma(M)subset [0,infty)$. But if $M$ is invertible, we must have $epsilon =min sigma(M) >0$. The other direction is true since $0notin sigma(M)$ means $M$ is invertible.

According to our answer, the converse is also true. That is if $A^{1/2}$ is invertible, then $A$ is also invertible. Do you agree with me? Thanks.

$N(x)=N(y)$ implies $M(x)=N^2(x)=N^2(y)=M(y)$ since $M$ is injective, we deduce that $N$ is injective.
For every $y$, $y=M(x)=N(N(x))$ implies that $N$ is surjective and open (open mapping theorem)
This implies that the inverse of $N$ is continuous $N$ and $N$ is invertible.
