Abstract
Two characterizations of the reductivity of a cyclic normal operator in Hilbert space are proved: the equality of the sets of cyclic and $^*$-cyclic vectors, and the equality $L^2(\mu )={\bf P}^2(\mu )$ for every measure $\mu $ equivalent to the scalar-valued spectral measure of the operator. A cyclic subnormal operator is reductive if and only if the first condition is satisfied. Several consequences are also presented.
