Spectral synthesis of diagonal operators and representing systems for the space of entire functions

In this paper, we study continuous linear operators on spaces of functions analytic on disks in the complex plane having as eigenvectors the monomials zn whose associated eigenvalues λn are distinct. In particular, we show that under mild conditions, such a diagonal operator has non-spectral invariant subspaces (that is, closed invariant subspaces which are not the closed linear span of collections of monomials) if and only if every entire function of a particular growth rate is representable as a generalized Dirichlet series .     

Multiplication and Compact-friendly Operators

During the last few years the authors have studied extensively the invariant subspace problem of positive operators; see [6] for a survey of this investigation. In [4] the authors introduced the class of compact-friendly operators and proved for them a general theorem on the existence of invariant subspaces. It was then asked if every positive operator is compact-friendly. In this note, we present an example of a positive operator which is not compact-friendly but which, nevertheless, has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace.In the process of presenting this example, we also characterize the multiplication operators that commute with non-zero finite-rank operators. We show, among other things, that a multiplication operator M commutes with a non-zero finite-rank operator if and only the multiplier function is constant on some non-empty open set.     

Expanding the joint spectrum of pairs of commuting contractions

We present a connection between solving the invariant subspace problem for a single operator on Hilbert space and the existence of a common invariant subspace for two commuting related operators. In particular, we reduce the problem of the existence of nontrivial invariant subspaces for a single contraction with spectral radius one to the problem of the existence of common nontrivial invariant subspaces for a pair of commuting contractions with large joint spectra.

     

Invariant and Almost-Invariant Subspaces for Pairs of Idempotents

It is known that every bounded operator on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space \({\mathcal{H}}\) has an invariant subspace if and only if each pair of idempotents on \({\mathcal{H}}\) has a common invariant subspace. We show that the same equivalence holds for operators and pairs of idempotents that are essentially selfadjoint. We also show that each pair of idempotents on \({\mathcal{H}}\) has a common almost-invariant half-space.     

Maximal invariant subspaces for a class of operators

In this note, we characterize maximal invariant subspaces for a class of operators. Let T be a Fredholm operator and \(1-TT^{*}\in\mathcal{S}_{p}\) for some p≥1. It is shown that if M is an invariant subspace for T such that dim?M ? TM<∞, then every maximal invariant subspace of M is of codimension 1 in M. As an immediate consequence, we obtain that if M is a shift invariant subspace of the Bergman space and dim?M ? zM<∞, then every maximal invariant subspace of M is of codimension 1 in M. We also apply the result to translation operators and their invariant subspaces.     

The invariant subspaces of the shift plus integer multiple of the Volterra operator on Hardy spaces

?u?kovi? and Paudyal recently characterized the lattice of invariant subspaces of the shift plus a complex Volterra operator on the Hilbert space \(H^2\) on the unit disk. Motivated by the idea of Ong, in this paper, we give a complete characterization of the lattice of invariant subspaces of the shift operator plus a positive integer multiple of the Volterra operator on Hardy spaces \(H^p\), which essentially extends their works to the more general cases when \(1\le p<\infty \).     

Quasiaffinity and invariant subspaces

Special classes of intertwining transformations between Hilbert spaces are introduced and investigated, whose purposes are to provide partial answers to some classical questions on the existence of nontrivial invariant subspaces for operators acting on separable Hilbert spaces. The main result ensures that if an operator is \({{\mathcal D}}\)-intertwined to a normal operator, then it has a nontrivial invariant subspace.     

On principal invariant subspaces

Let F and G be closed subspaces of the complex Hilbert space H, and U and V be closed subspaces of F and G, respectively. In this paper, using the technique of operator block, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions under which (U, V) is a pair of (strictly, non-degenerate) principal invariant subspaces for (F, G).     

On invariant graph subspaces of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">J</Emphasis>-self-adjoint operator in the Feshbach case

We consider a J-self-adjoint 2 × 2 block operator matrix L in the Feshbach spectral case, that is, in the case where the spectrum of one main-diagonal entry of L is embedded into the absolutely continuous spectrum of the other main-diagonal entry. We work with the analytic continuation of the Schur complement of amain-diagonal entry in L?z to the unphysical sheets of the spectral parameter z plane. We present conditions under which the continued Schur complement has operator roots in the sense of Markus–Matsaev. The operator roots reproduce (parts of) the spectrum of the Schur complement, including the resonances. We, then discuss the case where there are no resonances and the associated Riccati equations have bounded solutions allowing the graph representations for the corresponding J-orthogonal invariant subspaces of L. The presentation ends with an explicitly solvable example.     

On global minima of semistrictly quasiconcave functions

This paper studies the global behaviour of semistrictly quasiconcave functions with (possibly) nonconvex domain in the presence of global minima. We mainly present necessary conditions for the existence of global minima of a semistrictly quasiconcave real-valued function f with domain , and we show how the geometric structure of its graph and the cardinality of its range depend on the location of global minimum points. Our main result states that if a global minimum of f is achieved in the algebraic interior of K, then f can attain at the most n + 1 distinct function values, and the graph of f has a simple structure determined by a sequence of nested affine subspaces such that, essentially, f is constant on the set difference of each pair of successive affine subspaces.

Multivalued linear projections

A multivalued linear projection operator P defined on linear space X is a multivalued linear operator which is idempotent and has invariant domain. We show that a multivalued projection can be characterised in terms of a pair of subspaces and then establish that the class of multivalued linear projections is closed under taking adjoints and closures. We apply the characterisations of the adjoint and completion of a projection together with the closed graph and closed range theorems to give criteria for the continuity of a projection defined on a normed linear space. A new proof of the theorem on closed sums of closed subspaces in a Banach space (cf. Mennicken and Sagraloff [9, 10]) follows as a simple corollary. We then show that the topological decomposition of a space may be expressed in terms of multivalued projections. The paper is concluded with an application to multivalued semi-Fredholm relations with generalised inverses.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras Generated by Mappings. Classification of Invariant Subspaces

We continue the study of an operator algebra associated with a self-mapping ? on a countable setX which can be represented as a directed graph. This C*-algebra belongs to a class of operator algebras, generated by a family of partial isometries satisfying some relations on their source and range projections. Earlier we have formulated the irreducibility criterion of such algebras, which give us a possibility to examine the structure of the corresponding Hilbert space. We will show that for reducible algebras the underlying Hilbert space can be represented either as an infinite sum of invariant subspaces or as a tensor product of a finite-dimensional Hilbert space with l²(Z). In the first case we present a conditions under which the studied algebra has an irreducible representation into a C*-algebra generated by a weighted shift operator. In the second case, the algebra has the irreducible finite-dimensional representations indexed by the unit circle.     

Compact Composition Operators and Deddens Algebras

We consider the Deddens algebras associated to compact composition operators on the Hardy space \(H^2\) on the unit disk. When the compact composition operator corresponds to a function \(\varphi \) that satisfies \(\varphi (0)=0\) and \(\varphi '(0)\ne 0\), we show that the lattice of invariant subspaces of this algebra is \(\{0\}\cup \{z^n H^2: n=0,1,2,\ldots \}\). As a consequence, for this class of operators the associated Deddens algebra is weakly dense in the algebra of lower triangular matrices.     

On quasispectral maximal subspaces of a class of Volterra-type operators

The concept of quasispectral maximal subspaces for quasinilpotent (but not nilpotent) operators was introduced by M. Omladi\v{c} in 1984. As an application a class of quasinilpotent operators on -spaces, close to the Volterra kernel operator, was studied. In the present Banach function space setting we determine all quasispectral maximal subspaces of analogues of such operators and prove that these subspaces are all the invariant bands. An example is given showing that (in general) they are not all the closed, invariant ideals of the operator.

     

Infinite matrices with “few” non-zero entries and without non-trivial invariant subspaces

In this paper we investigate a family of infinite matrices that act on ?₁. We derive a condition sufficient to guarantee that a matrix has no non-trivial closed invariant subspaces. As a result, a simplest known operator on ?₁ without invariant subspaces is obtained. All entries of the matrix of the example but one are non-negative.     

Approximation of Invariant Subspaces in Some Dirichlet-Type Spaces

The Hilbert space \(\mathcal {D}_{2}\) is the space of all holomorphic functions f defined on the open unit disc \(\mathbb {D}\) such that \({f}^{'}\) is in the Hardy Hilbert space \(\mathbf {H}^2.\) In this paper, we prove that the invariant subspaces of \(\mathcal {D}_{2}\) with respect to multiplication operator \(M_{z}\) can be approximated with finite co-dimensional invariant subspaces. We also obtain a partial result in this direction for the classical Dirichlet space.
