Abstract
We describe some invariant or reducing subspaces for a concave operator T on a complex Hilbert space which satisfies the regularity condition ΔTT=ΔT1/2T1/2, where ΔT = T*T-I. We consider those subspaces on which T acts as a 2-isometry and show that T has some Brownian type properties on them. Among other, the Brownian unitary part and the Brownian isometric (reducing or invariant) parts are investigated. In the case when T is a Brownian operator or even a general 2-isometry we determine the Brownian unitary reducing parts on which T has the maximal covariance.
