w-Hyponormal Operators are Subscalar

We prove that if X is a Banach space, R, S B(X), then RS is subscalar (subdecomposable) if and only if SR is. As corollaries, it is shown that w-hyponormal operators (including p-hyponormal (p > 0) and log-hyponormal operators) and their Aluthge transformations and inverse Aluthge transformations are subscalar.     

Common properties of operatorsRS andSR andp-hyponormal operators

LetR andS be bounded linear operators on a Bananch space. We discuss the spectral and subdecomposable properties and properties concerning invariant subspaces common toRS andSR. We prove that, by these properties,p-hyponormal and log-hyponormal operators and their generalized Aluthge transformations are all subdecomposable operators;T andT(r, 1–r)(0<r<1) have same spectral structure and equal spectral parts ifT denotesp-hyponormal or dominant operator; for everyT L(H), 0<r<1,T has nontrivial (hyper-)invariant subspace ifT(r, 1–r) does.This research was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>th Roots of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Hyponormal Operators are Subscalar Operators of Order 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>

In this paper, we consider the special case of the question raised by Halmos (see below). In particular, we show that if T^k is p-hyponormal, then T is a subscalar operator of order 4k. As a corollary, we obtain that if T^k is p-hyponormal and σ(T) has nonempty interior in the plane, then T has a nontrivial invariant subspace.     

Integral Equations and Operator Theory

A complex number λ is an extended eigenvalue of an operator A if there is a nonzero operator X such that AX = λ XA. We characterize the set of extended eigenvalues, which we call extended point spectrum, for operators acting on finite dimensional spaces, finite rank operators, Jordan blocks, and C₀ contractions. We also describe the relationship between the extended eigenvalues of an operator A and its powers. As an application, we show that the commutant of an operator A coincides with that of Aⁿ, n ≥ 2, n ∈ N if the extended point spectrum of A does not contain any n–th root of unity other than 1. The converse is also true if either A or A^* has trivial kernel.     

Weak* Hypercyclicity and Supercyclicity of Shifts on ℓ∞

We study hypercyclicity and supercyclicity of weighted shifts on ℓ^∞, with respect to the weak * topology. We show that there exist bilateral shifts that are weak * hypercyclic but fail to be weak * sequentially hypercyclic. In the unilateral case, a shift T is weak * hypercyclic if and only if it is weak * sequentially hypercyclic, and this is equivalent to T being either norm, weak, or weak-sequentially hypercyclic on c₀ or ℓ^p (1 ≤ p < ∞). We also show that the set of weak * hypercyclic vectors of any unilateral or bilateral shift on ℓ^∞ is norm nowhere dense. Finally, we show that ℓ^∞ supports an isometry that is weak * sequentially supercyclic.     

Semigroups and resolvents of bounded variation,imaginary powers andH ∞ functional calculus

Let −A be a linear, injective operator, on a Banach spaceX. We show that ∃ anH ^∞ functional calculus forA if and only if −A generates a bouned strongly continuous holomorphic semigroup of uniform weak bounded variation, if and only ifA(ζ+A) ⁻¹ is of uniform weak bounded variation. This provides a sufficient condition for the imaginary powers ofA, {A^−is} sεR, to extend to a strongly continuous group of bounded operators; we also give similar necessary conditions.     

Self-adjoint Analytic Operator Functions: Local Spectral Function and Inner Linearization

In this note we continue the study of spectral properties of a self-adjoint analytic operator function A(z) that was started in [5]. It is shown that if A(z) satisfies the Virozub–Matsaev condition on some interval Δ₀ and is boundedly invertible in the endpoints of Δ₀, then the ‘embedding’ of the original Hilbert space into the Hilbert space , where the linearization of A(z) acts, is in fact an isomorphism between a subspace of and . As a consequence, properties of the local spectral function of A(z) on Δ₀ and a so-called inner linearization of the operator function A(z) in the subspace are established.      

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.      

Spectral distributions and generalization of Stone's theorem

In this paper, we introduce the notion ofspectral distribution which is a generalization of the spectral measure. This notion is closely related to distribution semigroups and generalized scalar operators. The associated operator (called themomentum of the spectral distribution) has a functional calculus defined for infinitely differentiable functions on the real line. Our main result says thatA generating a smooth distribution group of orderk is equivalent to having ak-times integrated group that are O(¦t¦ ^k ) oriA being the momentum of a spectral distribution of degreek. We obtain the standard version of Stone's theorem as a special case of this result. The standard properties of a functional calculus together with spectral mapping theorem are derived. Finally, we show how the degree of a spectral distribution is related to the degree of the nilpotent operators which separate its momentum from its scalar part.     

PROPERTIES OF p-ω-HYPONORMAL OPERATORS

The approximate point spectrum properties of p-ω-hyponormal operators are given and proved. In faet, it is a generalization of approximate point speetrum properties of ω- hyponormal operators. The relation of spectra and numerical range of p-ω-hyponormal operators is obtained, On the other hand, for p-ω-hyponormal operators T,it is showed that if Y is normal,then T is also normal.     

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.     

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 Sharp Norm Estimates in the Subspace Perturbation Problem

We discuss the spectral subspace perturbation problem for a self-adjoint operator. Assuming that the convex hull of a part of its spectrum does not intersect the remainder of the spectrum, we establish an a priori sharp bound on variation of the corresponding spectral subspace under off-diagonal perturbations. This bound represents a new, a priori, tan Θ Theorem. We also extend the Davis–Kahan tan 2Θ Theorem to the case of some unbounded perturbations.     

Invariant Subspaces of Collectively Compact Sets of Linear Operators

In this paper, we first give some invariant subspace results for collectively compact sets of operators in connection with the joint spectral radius of these sets. We then prove that any collectively compact set M in algΓ satisfies Berger-Wang formula, where Γ is a complete chain of subspaces of X.      

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.     

Strong monotonicity of operator functions

LetA, B be bounded selfadjoint operators on a Hilbert space. We will give a formula to get the maximum subspace such that is invariant forA andB, and . We will use this to show strong monotonicity or strong convexity of operator functions. We will see that when 0≤A≤B, andB−A is of finite rank,A ^t ≤B ^t for somet>1 if and only if the null space ofB−A is invariant forA.     

Fredholmness of Linear Combinations of Two Idempotents

Let E and F be idempotent operators on a complex Hilbert space, and let a and b be nonzero scalars with a + b ≠ 0. We prove that aE + bF is Fredholm if and only if E + F is, thus answering affirmatively a question asked by Koliha and Rakočević.      

Hypercyclic Pairs of Coanalytic Toeplitz Operators

A pair of commuting operators, (A,B), on a Hilbert space is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector such that {A ⁿ B ^k x : n, k ≥ 0} is dense in . If f, g ∈H ^∞(G) where G is an open set with finitely many components in the complex plane, then we show that the pair (M ^* _f , M ^* _g ) of adjoints of multiplcation operators on a Hilbert space of analytic functions on G is hypercyclic if and only if the semigroup they generate contains a hypercyclic operator. However, if G has infinitely many components, then we show that there exists f, g ∈H ^∞(G) such that the pair (M ^* _f , M ^* _g ) is hypercyclic but the semigroup they generate does not contain a hypercyclic operator. We also consider hypercyclic n-tuples.     

Invariant Subspaces for Banach Space Operators with a Multiply Connected Spectrum

We consider a multiply connected domain where denotes the unit disk and denotes the closed disk centered at with radius r _j for j = 1, . . . , n. We show that if T is a bounded linear operator on a Banach space X whose spectrum contains ∂Ω and does not contain the points λ₁, λ₂, . . . , λ _n , and the operators T and r _j (T − λ _j I)⁻¹ are polynomially bounded, then there exists a nontrivial common invariant subspace for T ^* and (T − λ _j I)^*-1.     

On the Property (gw)

In this note we introduce and study the property (gw), which extends property (w) introduced by Rakoc̆evic in [23]. We investigate the property (gw) in connection with Weyl type theorems. We show that if T is a bounded linear operator T acting on a Banach space X, then property (gw) holds for T if and only if property (w) holds for T and Π _a (T) = E(T), where Π _a (T) is the set of left poles of T and E(T) is the set of isolated eigenvalues of T. We also study the property (gw) for operators satisfying the single valued extension property (SVEP). Classes of operators are considered as illustrating examples.
