Aluthge iteration in semisimple Lie group

We extend, in the context of connected noncompact semisimple Lie group, two results of Antezana, Massey, and Stojanoff: Given 0<λ<1, (a) the limit points of the sequence are normal, and (b) , where ‖X‖ is the spectral norm and r(X) is the spectral radius of X∈Cn×n and Δλ(X) is the λ-Aluthge transform of X.
