Weyl’s Theorems for Some Classes of Operators

We introduce the class of operators on Banach spaces having property (H) and study Weyl’s theorems, and related results for operators which satisfy this property. We show that a- Weyl’s theorem holds for every decomposable operator having property (H). We also show that a-Weyl’s theorem holds for every multiplier T of a commutative semi-simple regular Tauberian Banach algebra. In particular every convolution operator T_μ of a group algebra L¹(G), G a locally compact abelian group, satisfies a-Weyl’s theorem. Similar results are given for multipliers of other important commutative Banach algebras.     

On the Isolated Points of the Spectrum of Paranormal Operators

For paranormal operator T on a separable complex Hilbert space we show that (1) Weyl’s theorem holds for T, i.e., σ(T) \ w(T) = π₀₀(T) and (2) every Riesz idempotent E with respect to a non-zero isolated point λ of σ(T) is self-adjoint (i.e., it is an orthogonal projection) and satisfies that ranE = ker(T − λ) = ker(T − λ)^*.     

Points d’évaluation pour les opérateurs cycliques ayant la propriété de Bishop (β)

Let T be a linear bounded cyclic operator in a separable complex Hilbert space H. Let B(T) and B_a(T) denote, respectively, the set of bounded point evaluation and the set of analytic point evaluation of T. We show that if T has the Bishop property (β), then B_a(T)=B(T)?σ_ap(T), where σ_ap(T) is the approximate spectrum of T. In the particular case when T is an operator of multiplication by z in a Hardy space this was proved by Trent (Pacific J. Math. 80 (1979) 279). On the other hand, using the generalized and the local spectral theory we obtain sufficient conditions on B_a(T) under which the spectrum of T and the local spectrum of T at any y≠0 in H coincide. At the end results involving the spectral picture of quasi-similar cyclic operators are given.     

Essential Spectral Inclusions for Operators on Banach Spaces

This paper centers on local spectral conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for the equality of the essential spectra of two bounded linear operators on complex Banach spaces that are intertwined by a pair of bounded linear mappings. In particular, if the operators T and S are intertwined by a pair of injective operators, then S is Fredholm provided that T is Fredholm and S has property (δ) in a neighborhood of 0. In this case, ind(T) ≤ ind(S), and equality holds precisely when the eigenvalues of the adjoint T* do not cluster at 0. By duality, we obtain refinements of results due to Putinar, Takahashi, and Yang concerning operators with Bishop’s property (β) intertwined by pairs of operators with dense range. Moreover, we establish an extension of a result due to Eschmeier that, under appropriate assumptions regarding the single-valued extension property, leads to necessary and sufficient conditions for quasi-similar operators to have equal essential spectra. In particular it turns out that the single-valued extension property plays an essential role in the preservation of the index in this context.      

Tensor products, multiplications and Weyl’s theorem

Tensor productsZ=T ₁⊗T ₂ and multiplicationsZ=L _{T 1} R _{T 2} do not inherit Weyl’s theorem from Weyl’s theorem forT ₁ andT ₂. Also, Weyl’s theorem does not transfer fromZ toZ*. We prove that ifT _i,i=1, 2, has SVEP (=the single-valued extension property) at points in the complement of the Weyl spectrumσ _w(T_i) ofT _i, and if the operatorsT _i are Kato type at the isolated points ofσ(T_i), thenZ andZ* satisfy Weyl’s theorem.     

Browder’s Theorems through Localized SVEP

A bounded linear operator T ∈ L(X) on aBanach space X is said to satisfy “Browder’s theorem” if the Browder spectrum coincides with the Weyl spectrum. T ∈ L(X) is said to satisfy “a-Browder’s theorem” if the upper semi-Browder spectrum coincides with the approximate point Weyl spectrum. In this note we give several characterizations of operators satisfying these theorems. Most of these characterizations are obtained by using a localized version of the single-valued extension property of T. In the last part we shall give some characterizations of operators for which “Weyl’s theorem” holds.     

Resolvent Estimates for Operators Belonging to Exponential Classes

For a, α > 0 let E(a, α) be the set of all compact operators A on a separable Hilbert space such that s _n (A) = O(exp(-an^α)), where s _n (A) denotes the n-th singular number of A. We provide upper bounds for the norm of the resolvent (zI − A)⁻¹ of A in terms of a quantity describing the departure from normality of A and the distance of z to the spectrum of A. As a consequence we obtain upper bounds for the Hausdorff distance of the spectra of two operators in E(a, α).      

Some spectral mapping theorems through local spectral theory

The spectral mapping theorems for Browder spectrum and for semi-Browder spectra have been proved by several authors [14], [29] and [33], by using different methods. We shall employ a local spectral argument to establish these spectral mapping theorems, as well as, the spectral mapping theorem relative to some other classical spectra. We also prove that ifT orT* has the single-valued extension property some of the more important spectra originating from Fredholm theory coincide. This result is extended, always in the caseT orT* has the single valued extension property, tof(T), wheref is an analytic function defined on an open disc containing the spectrum ofT. In the last part we improve a recent result of Curto and Han [10] by proving that for every transaloid operatorT a-Weyl’s theorem holds forf(T) andf(T)*. The research was supported by the International Cooperation Project between the University of Palermo (Italy) and Conicit-Venezuela.     

Polaroid operators,SVEP and perturbed Browder,Weyl theorems

A Banach space operatorT ɛB(X) is polaroid,T ɛP, if the isolated points of the spectrum ofT are poles of the resolvent ofT. LetPS denote the class of operators inP which have have SVEP, the single-valued extension property. It is proved that ifT is polynomiallyPS andA ɛB(X) is an algebraic operator which commutes withT, thenf(T+A) satisfies Weyl’s theorem andf(T ^*+A ^*) satisfiesa-Weyl’s theorem for everyf which is holomorphic on a neighbourhood of σ(T+A).     

Riesz Idempotent and Algebraically M-hyponormal Operators

Let T be an M-hyponormal operator acting on infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space and let be the Riesz idempotent for λ₀, where D is a closed disk of center λ₀ which contains no other points of σ (T). In this note we show that E is self-adjoint and As an application, if T is an algebraically M-hyponormal operator then we prove : (i) Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T) for every (ii) a-Browder’s theorem holds for f(S) for every and f ∈ H(σ(S)); (iii) the the spectral mapping theorem holds for the Weyl spectrum of T and for the essential approximate point spectrum of T.     

Norms of Moore-Penrose Inverses of Fredholm Toeplitz Operators

In this paper we estimate the norm of the Moore-Penrose inverse T(a)⁺ of a Fredholm Toeplitz operator T(a) with a matrix-valued symbol a∈L_{N × N}^∞ defined on the complex unit circle. In particular, we show that in the ”generic case” the strict inequality ||T(a)⁺|| > ||a⁻¹||_∞ holds. Moreover, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of ||T(t^ra)⁺|| for . The results are illustrated by numerical experiments.     

Weyl’s theorem for totally hereditarily normaloid operators

A Banach space operatorT ∈B(χ) is said to behereditarily normaloid, denotedT ∈ ℋN, if every part ofT is normaloid;T ∈ ℋN istotally hereditarily normaloid, denotedT ∈ ℑHN, if every invertible part ofT is also normaloid. Class ℑHN is large; it contains a number of the commonly considered classes of operators. The operatorT isalgebraically totally hereditarily normaloid, denotedT ∈a — ℑHN, both non-constant polynomialp such thatp(T) ∈ ℑHN. For operatorsT ∈a − ℑHN, bothT andT* satisfy Weyl’s theorem; if also either ind(T−μ)≥0 or ind(T−μ)≤0 for all complexμ such thatT−μ is Fredholm, thenf(T) andf(T*) satisfy Weyl’s theorem for all analytic functionsf ∈ ℋ(σ(T)). For operatorsT ∈a — ℑHN such thatT has SVEP,T* satisfiesa-Weyl’s theorem.     

Some Properties of Essential Spectra of a Positive Operator

Let E be a Banach lattice, T be a bounded operator on E. The Weyl essential spectrum σ_ew(T) of the operator T is a set , where is a set of all compact operators on E. In particular for a positive operator T next subsets of the spectrum

A lattice approach to narrow operators

It is known that if a rearrangement invariant function space E on [0,1] has an unconditional basis then each linear continuous operator on E is a sum of two narrow operators. On the other hand, the sum of two narrow operators in L₁ is narrow. To find a general approach to these results, we extend the notion of a narrow operator to the case when the domain space is a vector lattice. Our main result asserts that the set N_r(E, F) of all narrow regular operators is a band in the vector lattice L_r(E, F) of all regular operators from a non-atomic order continuous Banach lattice E to an order continuous Banach lattice F. The band generated by the disjointness preserving operators is the orthogonal complement to N_r(E, F) in L_r(E, F). As a consequence we obtain the following generalization of the Kalton-Rosenthal theorem: every regular operator T : E → F from a non-atomic Banach lattice E to an order continuous Banach lattice F has a unique representation as T = T_D + T_N where T_D is a sum of an order absolutely summable family of disjointness preserving operators and T_N is narrow.

Variations on Weyl's theorem

In this note we study the property (w), a variant of Weyl's theorem introduced by Rako?evi?, by means of the localized single-valued extension property (SVEP). We establish for a bounded linear operator defined on a Banach space several sufficient and necessary conditions for which property (w) holds. We also relate this property with Weyl's theorem and with another variant of it, a-Weyl's theorem. We show that Weyl's theorem, a-Weyl's theorem and property (w) for T (respectively T^*) coincide whenever T^* (respectively T) satisfies SVEP. As a consequence of these results, we obtain that several classes of commonly considered operators have property (w).     

Generalized Browder’s Theorem and SVEP

A bounded operator a Banach space, is said to verify generalized Browder’s theorem if the set of all spectral points that do not belong to the B-Weyl’s spectrum coincides with the set of all poles of the resolvent of T, while T is said to verify generalized Weyl’s theorem if the set of all spectral points that do not belong to the B-Weyl spectrum coincides with the set of all isolated points of the spectrum which are eigenvalues. In this article we characterize the bounded linear operators T satisfying generalized Browder’s theorem, or generalized Weyl’s theorem, by means of localized SVEP, as well as by means of the quasi-nilpotent part H ₀(λI − T) as λ belongs to certain subsets of . In the last part we give a general framework for which generalized Weyl’s theorem follows for several classes of operators.     

Some properties of essential spectra of a positive operator, II

Let T be a positive operator on a Banach lattice E. Some properties of Weyl essential spectrum σ_ew(T), in particular, the equality , where is the set of all compact operators on E, are established. If r(T) does not belong to Fredholm essential spectrum σ_ef(T), then for every a ≠ 0, where T₋₁ is a residue of the resolvent R(., T) at r(T). The new conditions for which implies , are derived. The question when the relation holds, where is Lozanovsky’s essential spectrum, will be considered. Lozanovsky’s order essential spectrum is introduced. A number of auxiliary results are proved. Among them the following generalization of Nikol’sky’s theorem: if T is an operator of index zero, then T = R + K, where R is invertible, K ≥ 0 is of finite rank. Under the natural assumptions (one of them is ) a theorem about the Frobenius normal form is proved: there exist T-invariant bands such that if , where , then an operator on D_i is band irreducible.      

On the approximation of positive operators and the behaviour of the spectra of the approximants

LetT be a positive linear operator on the Banach latticeE and let (S _n ) be a sequence of bounded linear operators onE which converge strongly toT. Our main results are concerned with the question under which additional assumptions onS _n andT the peripheral spectra (S _n ) ofS _n converge to the peripheral spectrum (T) ofT. We are able to treat even the more general case of discretely convergent sequences of operators.     

Reflexive operators with domain in Köthe spaces

It is proved that if a K?the space λ₁(A) is distinguished and E is an arbitrary Fréchet space then every reflexive map T: λ₁(A)→E (i.e., T maps bounded sets into relatively weakly compact ones) factorizes through a reflexive Fréchet space. An analogous result is proved for Montel maps (i.e., which map bounded sets into relatively compact ones). The result is a consequence of the fact proved also in this paper that, for a distinguished λ₁(A) space, the spaces of reflexive maps R(λ₁(A), C(K)) and of Montel maps M(λ₁(A), C(K)) are the Mackey completions of the spaces of weakly compact and compact maps, respectively. Consequences for spaces of vector-valued (weakly) continuous functions are also obtained. Received: 24 November 1997 / Revised version: 14 May 1998
