On the minimal number of matrices which form a locally hypercyclic, non-hypercyclic tuple

In this paper we extend the notion of a locally hypercyclic operator to that of a locally hypercyclic tuple of operators. We then show that the class of hypercyclic tuples of operators forms a proper subclass to that of locally hypercyclic tuples of operators. What is rather remarkable is that in every finite dimensional vector space over R or C, a pair of commuting matrices exists which forms a locally hypercyclic, non-hypercyclic tuple. This comes in direct contrast to the case of hypercyclic tuples where the minimal number of matrices required for hypercyclicity is related to the dimension of the vector space. In this direction we prove that the minimal number of diagonal matrices required to form a hypercyclic tuple on Rn is n+1, thus complementing a recent result due to Feldman.     

A short proof of existence of disjoint hypercyclic operators

We give a short proof of existence of disjoint hypercyclic tuples of operators of any given length on any separable infinite dimensional Fréchet space. Similar argument provides disjoint dual hypercyclic tuples of operators of any length on any infinite dimensional Banach space with separable dual.     

Hypercyclic convolution operators on Fréchet spaces of analytic functions

A result of Godefroy and Shapiro states that the convolution operators on the space of entire functions on Cn, which are not multiples of identity, are hypercyclic. Analogues of this result have appeared for some spaces of holomorphic functions on a Banach space. In this work, we define the space holomorphic functions associated to a sequence of spaces of polynomials and determine conditions on this sequence that assure hypercyclicity of convolution operators. Some known results come out as particular cases of this setting. We also consider holomorphic functions associated to minimal ideals of polynomials and to polynomials of the Schatten-von Neumann class.     

Disjoint hypercyclic linear fractional composition operators

We characterize disjoint hypercyclicity and disjoint supercyclicity of finitely many linear fractional composition operators acting on spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disc, answering a question of Bernal-González. We also study mixing and disjoint mixing behavior of projective limits of endomorphisms of a projective spectrum. In particular, we show that a linear fractional composition operator is mixing on the projective limit of the Sv spaces strictly containing the Dirichlet space if and only if the operator is mixing on the Hardy space.     

Perturbations of hypercyclic vectors

We show that a linear operator can have an orbit that comes within a bounded distance of every point, yet is not dense. We also prove that such an operator must be hypercyclic. This gives a more general form of the hypercyclicity criterion. We also show that a sufficiently small perturbation of a hypercyclic vector is still hypercyclic.     

Distributional chaos for backward shifts

We provide sufficient conditions which give uniform distributional chaos for backward shift operators. We also compare distributional chaos with other well-studied notions of chaos for linear operators, like Devaney chaos and hypercyclicity, and show that Devaney chaos implies uniform distributional chaos for weighted backward shifts, but there are examples of backward shifts which are uniformly distributionally chaotic and not hypercyclic.     

Existence of disjoint weakly mixing operators that fail to satisfy the Disjoint Hypercyclicity Criterion

Recently, Bès, Martin, and Sanders [11] provided examples of disjoint hypercyclic operators which fail to satisfy the Disjoint Hypercyclicity Criterion. However, their operators also fail to be disjoint weakly mixing. We show that every separable, infinite dimensional Banach space admits operators _T1,_T2,…,_TN$T_1,T_2,\dots ,T_N$ with N?2$N?2$ which are disjoint weakly mixing, and still fail to satisfy the Disjoint Hypercyclicity Criterion, answering a question posed in [11]. Moreover, we provide examples of disjoint hypercyclic operators _T1$T_1$, _T2$T_2$ whose corresponding set of disjoint hypercyclic vectors is nowhere dense, answering another question posed in [11]. In fact, we explicitly describe their set of disjoint hypercyclic vectors. Those same disjoint hypercyclic operators fail to be disjoint topologically transitive. Lastly, we create examples of two families of d-hypercyclic operators which fail to have any d-hypercyclic vectors in common.     

On the Salas Theorem and Hypercyclicity of f(T)

We study hypercyclicity properties of functions of Banach space operators. Generalizations of the results of Herzog–Schmoeger and Bermudez–Miller are obtained. As a corollary we also show that each non-trivial operator commuting with a generalized backward shift is supercyclic. This gives a positive answer to a conjecture of Godefroy and Shapiro. Furthermore, we show that the norm-closures of the set of all hypercyclic (mixing, chaotic, frequently hypercyclic, respectively) operators on a Hilbert space coincide. This implies that the set of all hypercyclic operators that do not satisfy the hypercyclicity criterion is rather small—of first category (in the norm-closure of hypercyclic operators).     

Disjoint hypercyclic powers of weighted translations on groups

Let G be a locally compact group and let 1 ≤ p < 1. Recently, Chen et al. characterized hypercyclic, supercyclic and chaotic weighted translations on locally compact groups and their homogeneous spaces. There has been an increasing interest in studying the disjoint hypercyclicity acting on various spaces of holomorphic functions. In this note, we will study disjoint hypercyclic and disjoint supercyclic powers of weighted translation operators on the Lebesgue space L ^p(G) in terms of the weights. Sufficient and necessary conditions for disjoint hypercyclic and disjoint supercyclic powers of weighted translations generated by aperiodic elements on groups will be given.     

Recurrence properties of hypercyclic operators

We generalize the notions of hypercyclic operators, \(\mathfrak {U}\)-frequently hypercyclic operators and frequently hypercyclic operators by introducing a new concept in linear dynamics, namely \(\mathcal {A}\)-hypercyclicity. We then state an \(\mathcal {A}\)-hypercyclicity criterion, inspired by the hypercyclicity criterion and the frequent hypercyclicity criterion, and we show that this criterion characterizes the \(\mathcal {A}\)-hypercyclicity for weighted shifts. We also investigate which density properties can the sets \({N(x, U)=\{n\in \mathbb {N}\ ; \ T^nx\in U\}}\) have for a given hypercyclic operator, and we study the new notion of reiteratively hypercyclic operators.     

Dual disjoint hypercyclic operators

Let E be a separable Fréchet space. The operators T₁,…,Tm are disjoint hypercyclic if there exists x∈E such that the orbit of (x,…,x) under (T₁,…,Tm) is dense in E×?×E. We show that every separable Banach space E admits an m-tuple of bounded linear operators which are disjoint hypercyclic. If, in addition, its dual E^∗ is separable, then they can be constructed such that are also disjoint hypercyclic.     

Disjoint mixing composition operators on the Hardy space in the unit ball

We characterize disjoint mixing and disjoint hypercyclicity of finite many composition operators acting on the Hardy space on the unit ball.     

Frequently dense orbits

We study the notion of frequent hypercyclicity that was recently introduced by Bayart and Grivaux. We show that frequently hypercyclic operators satisfy the Hypercyclicity Criterion, answering a question of Bayart and Grivaux [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., in press]. We also disprove a conjecture therein concerning frequently hypercyclic weighted shifts, and we prove that vectors which have a somewhere frequently dense orbit are frequently hypercyclic.

Dirichlet空间上的超循环复合算子

设Bn是复平面C中的单位圆盘(n=1)或复空间Cn中的单位球.众所周知,在Hardy空间上存在丰富的符号在Aut(Bn)中的超循环复合算子.然而,在复平面中单位圆盘上的Dirichlet空间中, 任何复合算子都不能是超循环的.本文则证明,当n>1时,Bn上的Dirichlet空间中确有超循环复合算子.     

On Products of Hypercyclic Semigroups

If (S(t)) is a hypercyclic (discrete or continuous) semigroup of linear operators, it is known that (S(t) ⊗ S(t)) is hypercyclic, if and only if (S(t)) satisfies the so-called hypercyclicity criterion (HCC). We give a strengthened version of the hypercyclicity criterion, which we call recurrent hypercyclicity criterion (RHCC). It is a necessary and sufficient condition on a semigroup (S(t)), such that the product with any semigroup (T(t)) satisfying HCC is again hypercyclic. The RHCC is inherited by products (obviously) and by subsemigroups. Any chaotic semigroup satisfies the RHCC.     

Hypercyclic subspaces of a Banach space

Recently a lot of research has been done on hypercyclicity of a bounded linear operator on a Banach space, based on the hypercyclicity criterion obtained by Kitai in 1982, and independently by Gethner and Shapiro in 1987. By combining this criterion with one extra condition, Montes-Rodríguez obtained in 1996 a sufficient condition for the operator to have a closed infinite dimensional hypercyclic subspace, with a very technical proof. Since then, this result has been used extensively to generate new results on hypercyclic subspaces. In the present paper, we give a simple proof of the result of Montes-Rodríguez, by first establishing a few elementary results about the algebra of operators on a Banach space.     

Hypercyclicity and unimodular point spectrum

We show that an operator on a separable complex Banach space with sufficiently many eigenvectors associated to eigenvalues of modulus 1 is hypercyclic. We apply this result to construct hypercyclic operators with prescribed K_σ unimodular point spectrum. We show how eigenvectors associated to unimodular eigenvalues can be used to exhibit common hypercyclic vectors for uncountable families of operators, and prove that the family of composition operators C_? on H²(D), where ? is a disk automorphism having +1 as attractive fixed point, has a residual set of common hypercyclic vectors.     

Hypercyclic Sequences of Differential and Antidifferential Operators

In this paper, we provide some extensions of earlier results about hypercyclicity of some operators on the Fréchet space of entire functions of several complex variables. Specifically, we generalize in several directions a theorem about hyper- cyclicity of certain infinite order linear differential operators with constant coefficients and study the corresponding property for certain kinds of “antidifferential” operators which are introduced in the paper. In addition, the existence of hypercyclic functions for certain sequences of differential operators with additional properties, for instance, boundedness or with some nonvanishing derivatives, is established.     

Hypercyclic subspaces for Fréchet space operators

A continuous linear operator is hypercyclic if there is an x∈X such that the orbit {Tnx} is dense, and such a vector x is said to be hypercyclic for T. Recent progress show that it is possible to characterize Banach space operators that have a hypercyclic subspace, i.e., an infinite dimensional closed subspace H⊆X of, except for zero, hypercyclic vectors. The following is known to hold: A Banach space operator T has a hypercyclic subspace if there is a sequence (ni) and an infinite dimensional closed subspace E⊆X such that T is hereditarily hypercyclic for (ni) and Tni→0 pointwise on E. In this note we extend this result to the setting of Fréchet spaces that admit a continuous norm, and study some applications for important function spaces. As an application we also prove that any infinite dimensional separable Fréchet space with a continuous norm admits an operator with a hypercyclic subspace.     

Disjoint Supercyclic Weighted Shifts

Complementing the existing literature in d-hypercyclicity, we characterize disjoint supercyclicity for a finite family of weighted shift operators. Using this characterization, we answer Question 2 in a recent paper by Bès, Martin and Peris in the negative by constructing examples of disjoint supercyclic weighted shifts whose direct sum operator is hypercyclic, but the same shifts operators fail to be disjoint hypercyclic. We also show the Disjoint Blow-Up/Collapse Property and the Strong Disjoint Blow-Up/Collapse Property for disjoint supercyclicity are equivalent when dealing with a finite family with two or more weighted shifts. However, those weighted shifts operators will never satisfy the Disjoint Supercyclicity Criterion. This provides a sharp distinction between disjoint supercyclicity and supercyclicity for a single operator. We provide a partial answer to disjoint supercyclic version of Question 3 in a recent paper by Salas by showing that we can always select an additional operator to add to an family of d-supercyclic weighted shift operators while maintaining the d-supercyclicity. We also show that, in general, this additional operator cannot be another weighted shift.
