Abstrakt: Let T = U| T| and S = V| S| be the polar decompositions. In this paper, we shall obtain the polar decomposition of TS as TS = UWV| TS|, where | T|| S*| = W|| T|| S*|| is the polar decomposition. Next, we shall show that TS = UV| TS| is the polar decomposition if and only if | T| commutes with | S*|. Lastly, we shall apply this result to binormal and centered operators. We shall obtain characterizations of these operator classes from the viewpoint of the polar decomposition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
