Summary: The primary purpose of the present paper is to investigate when
relations of the types $|AB|=|A||B|$, $|A\pm B|\leqslant |A|+|B|$,
$||A|-|B||\leqslant |A\pm B|$ and $|\overline{\mathrm{Re} A}|\leqslant |A|$ (among
others) hold in an unbounded operator setting. As consequences, we
obtain a characterization of (unbounded) self-adjointness as well as
a characterization of invertibility for the class of unbounded
normal operators. Some examples accompany our results.
