Invariant Subspaces of Operator Lie Algebras and the Theory of K-Algebras

It is proved that if a Lie algebra of compact operators contains a nonzero ideal consisting of quasinilpotent operators then this Lie algebra has a nontrivial invariant subspace. Some applications of this result to lattices of invariant subspaces for families of compact operators and to structures of ideals of Banach Lie algebras with compact adjoint action are given.     

Invariant subspaces of operator Lie algebras and Lie algebras with compact adjoint action

It is proved that a Lie algebra of compact operators with a non-zero Volterra ideal is reducible (has a nontrivial invariant subspace). A number of other criteria of reducibility for collections of operators is obtained. The results are applied to the structure theory of Lie algebras of compact operators and normed Lie algebras with compact adjoint action.     

On Tractability and Ideal Problem in Non-Associative Operator Algebras

The question of the existence of non-trivial ideals of Lie algebras of compact operators is considered from different points of view. One of the approaches is based on the concept of a tractable Lie algebra, which can be of interest independently of the main theme of the paper. Among other results it is shown that an infinite-dimensional closed Lie or Jordan algebra of compact operators cannot be simple. Several partial answers to Wojtyński’s problem on the topological simplicity of Lie algebras of compact quasinilpotent operators are also given.     

On Commutators of Idempotents

It is shown that a pair of idempotent operators on a Banach space is triangularizable if their commutator is nilpotent. Moreover, if every operator on Hilbert space has an invariant subspace, then a pair of idempotents on Hilbert space is triangularizable if their commutator is quasinilpotent. These results are generalized from idempotents to quadratic operators.

These results are generalized from idempotents to quadratic operators.     

Some results on b-AM-compact operators

We show that for positive operator B : E → E on Banach lattices, if there exists a positive operator S : E → E such that:1.SB ≤ BS;2.S is quasinilpotent at some x₀ > 0; 3.S dominates a non-zero b-AM-compact operator, then B has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. Also, we prove that for two commuting non-zero positive operators on Banach lattices, if one of them is quasinilpotent at a non-zero positive vector and the other dominates a non-zero b-AM-compact operator, then both of them have a common non-trivial closed invariant ideal. Then we introduce the class of b-AM-compact-friendly operators and show that a non-zero positive b-AM- compact-friendly operator which is quasinilpotent at some x₀ > 0 has a non-trivial closed invariant ideal.     

Left-symmetric algebras of derivations of free algebras

A structure of a left-symmetric algebra on the set of all derivations of a free algebra is introduced such that its commutator algebra becomes the usual Lie algebra of derivations. Left and right nilpotent elements of left-symmetric algebras of derivations are studied. Simple left-symmetric algebras of derivations and Novikov algebras of derivations are described. It is also proved that the positive part of the left-symmetric algebra of derivations of a free nonassociative symmetric m-ary algebra in one free variable is generated by one derivation and some right nilpotent derivations are described.     

Minimal vectors in arbitrary Banach spaces

We extend the method of minimal vectors to arbitrary Banach spaces. It is proved, by a variant of the method, that certain quasinilpotent operators on arbitrary Banach spaces have hyperinvariant subspaces.

     

Fréchet Sheaves and Taylor Spectrum for Supernilpotent Lie Algebra of Operators

In the paper we investigate the transversality property of the Fréchet algebras of formally radical functions in elements of a nilpotent Lie algebra and its relationship to the Taylor spectrum of a family of bounded linear operators generating a supernilpotent Lie algebra. To my parents     

On simultaneous triangularization of collections of compact operators

In this paper we consider collections of compact (resp. C_p class) operators on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces. For a subring R of reals, it is proved that an R-algebra of compact operators with spectra in R on an arbitrary Banach space is triangularizable if and only if every member of the algebra is triangularizable. It is proved that every triangularizability result on certain collections, e.g., semigroups, of compact operators on a complex Banach (resp. Hilbert) space gives rise to its counterpart on a real Banach (resp. Hilbert) space. We use our main results to present new proofs as well as extensions of certain classical theorems (e.g., those due to Kolchin, McCoy, and others) on arbitrary Banach (resp. Hilbert) spaces.     

A Characterisation of Nilpotent Lie Algebras by Invertible Leibniz-Derivations

Jacobson proved that if a Lie algebra admits an invertible derivation, it must be nilpotent. He also suspected, though incorrectly, that the converse might be true: that every nilpotent Lie algebra has an invertible derivation. We prove that a Lie algebra is nilpotent if and only if it admits an invertible Leibniz-derivation. The proofs are elementary in nature and are based on well-known techniques. We only consider finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a fields of characteristic zero.

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.

     

On algebras of polynomially compact operators

In this paper, we find sufficient and necessary conditions for a triangularizable closed algebra of polynomially compact operators to be commutative modulo the radical. We also prove that an algebraic algebra of operators of a bounded degree on a Banach space is triangularizable under some mild additional conditions. As a special case we obtain a result stating that every algebraic algebra of operators of bounded degree is triangularizable whenever its commutators are nilpotent operators.     

Finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras generated by normal operators are commutative

Triangularization of a Jordan algebra of Schatten operators

We show that a Jordan algebra of compact quasinilpotent operators which contains a nonzero trace class operator has a common invariant subspace. As a consequence of this result, we obtain that a Jordan algebra of quasinilpotent Schatten operators is simultaneously triangularizable.

     

On a class of quasi-Fredholm operators

We study a class of bounded linear operators acting on a Banach spaceX called B-Fredholm operators. Among other things we characterize a B-Fredholm operator as the direct sum of a nilpotent operator and a Fredholm operator and we prove a spectral mapping theorem for B-Fredholm operators.IMemory of my father, Sidi-Bouhouria 1914-0991.     

Invariant Subspaces of Positive Quasinilpotent Operators on Ordered Banach Spaces

In this paper we find invariant subspaces of certain positive quasinilpotent operators on Krein spaces and, more generally, on ordered Banach spaces with closed generating cones. In the later case, we use the method of minimal vectors. We present applications to Sobolev spaces, spaces of differentiable functions, and C*-algebras.      

Polynome de Hilbert-Samuel dans les algebres enveloppantes et les algebres de groupe

An analogue of the Hilbert-Samuel polynomial is considered with respect to the augmentation ideal of the enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra and the group ring of a finitely generated, torsion-free nilpotent group. Then, the Hilbert series of finitely generated modules are rational.      

Lie algebras with almost dimensionally nilpotent inner derivations

The structure of the Lie algebras with almost dimensionally nilpotent inner derivations is studied. It is proved that, if the base field is of characteristic 0, then, when d>6 is odd, there exist just two d-dimensional Lie algebras; when d>6 is even, there exists just one d-dimensional Lie algebra such that these Lie algebras are nonsolvable and have some almost dimensionally nilpotent inner derivations.
