A (bounded, linear) operator H on a Banach space is said to be hermitian if ∥exp(itH)∥ = 1 for all real t. An operator N on is said to be normal if N = H + iK, where H and K are commuting hermitian operators. These definitions generalize those familiar concepts of operators on Hilbert spaces. Also, the normal derivations defined in [1] are normal operators. For more details about hermitian operators and normal operators on general Banach spaces, see [4]. The main result concerning normal operators in the present paper is the following theorem.
