On the supercyclicity and hypercyclicity of the operator algebra

Let B(X) be the operator algebra for a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space H, endowed with the strong operator topology or *-strong topology. We give sufficient conditions for a continuous linear mapping L: B(X) → B(X) to be supercyclic or *-supercyclic. In particular our condition implies the existence of an infinite dimensional subspace of supercyclic vectors for a mapping T on H. Hypercyclicity of the operator algebra with strong operator topology was studied by Chan and here we obtain an analogous result in the case of *-strong operator topology.
