Let H be a fixed separable
Hilbert space of infinite dimension. Let 𝒩, 𝒦𝒟 and 𝒯 be all normal, compact,
quasidiagonal and quasitriangular operators on H, respectively. In this note it is
shown that 𝒩 + 𝒦 is arcwise connected, nowhere dense subset of 𝒟 and 𝒟 is an
arcwise connected, nowhere dense subset of 𝒯 .
