On the peripheral spectrum of positive operators

We prove that ifE is a Banach lattice andS, T ∈ ℒ (E) are such that 0≦s≦T,r(s)=r(T) andr(T) is a Riesz point ofσ(T) thenr(S) is a Riesz point ofσ(S). We prove also some results on compact positive perturbations of positive irreducible operators and lattice homomorphisms.     

On the peripheral spectrum of positive elements

Let A be an ordered Banach algebra with a unit \(\mathbf{e}\) and a cone \(A^+\). An element p of A is said to be an order idempotent if \(p^2 = p\) and \(0 \le p\le \mathbf{e}\). An element \(a\in A^+\) is said to be irreducible if the relation \((\mathbf{e}-p)ap = 0\), where p is an order idempotent, implies \(p = 0\) or \(p = \mathbf{e}\). For an arbitrary element a of A the peripheral spectrum \(\sigma _\mathrm{per}(a)\) of a is the set \(\sigma _\mathrm{per}(a) = \{\lambda \in \sigma (a):|\lambda | = r(a)\}\), where \(\sigma (a)\) is the spectrum of a and r(a) is the spectral radius of a. We investigate properties of the peripheral spectrum of an irreducible element a. Conditions under which \(\sigma _\mathrm{per}(a)\) contains or coincides with \(r(a)H_m\), where \(H_m\) is the group of all \(m^\mathrm{th}\) roots of unity, and the spectrum \(\sigma (a)\) is invariant under rotation by the angle \(\frac{2\pi }{m}\) for some \(m\in {\mathbb N}\), are given. The correlation between these results and the existence of a cyclic form of a is considered. The conditions under which a is primitive, i.e., \(\sigma _\mathrm{per}(a) = \{r(a)\}\), are studied. The necessary assumptions on the algebra A which imply the validity of these results, are discussed. In particular, the Lotz–Schaefer axiom is introduced and finite-rank elements of A are defined. Other approaches to the notions of irreducibility and primitivity are discussed. Conditions under which the inequalities \(0 \le b < a\) imply \(r(b) < r(a)\) are studied. The closedness of the center \(A_\mathbf{e}\), i.e., of the order ideal generated by \(\mathbf{e}\) in A, is proved.

On the peripheral spectrum of bounded positive semigroups on atomic Banach lattices

Generalizing a recent result of E.B. Davies [4], we show that generators of bounded positive C₀-semigroups on atomic Banach lattices with order continuous norm have trivial peripheral point spectrum. Moreover, we give examples that the peripheral spectrum can be any closed cyclic subset of . Received: 20 September 2005; revised: 23 January 2006     

On the spectrum of hyponormal operators

Xia's theorem about the spectrum of hyponormal operators is reproved by a simple method and it is extended to the case of unbounded hyponormal operators with bounded imaginary part and double commutingn-tuples of hyponormal operators.     

On positive transitive operators

In this short paper we prove that even though the latest transitive operator has only one negative entry, we cannot get rid of it by simple operations. The research is motivated by, still unsolved, invariant subspace problem for positive operators.      

On the peripheral point spectrum and the asymptotic behavior of irreducible semigroups of Harris operators

Given a positive, irreducible and bounded $C_0$ -semigroup on a Banach lattice with order continuous norm, we prove that the peripheral point spectrum of its generator is trivial whenever one of its operators dominates a non-trivial compact or kernel operator. For a discrete semigroup, i.e. for powers of a single operator $T$ , we show that the point spectrum of some power $T^k$ intersects the unit circle at most in $1$ . As a consequence, we obtain a sufficient condition for strong convergence of the $C_0$ -semigroup and for a subsequence of the powers of $T$ , respectively.     

On the point spectrum of Dirac operators

We study the decay of eigenfunctions and we give conditions for the absence of eigenvalues embedded in the continuous spectrum for Dirac Hamiltonians with long range and locally singular potential.     

On the discrete spectrum of non-selfadjoint operators

We prove quantitative bounds on the eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint unbounded operators obtained from selfadjoint operators by a perturbation that is relatively-Schatten. These bounds are applied to obtain new results on the distribution of eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators with complex potentials.     

On the iterates of positive linear operators

We have devised a new method for the study of the asymptotic behavior of the iterates of positive linear operators. This technique enlarges the class of operators for which the limit of the iterates can be computed.     

On the triangular factorization of positive operators

An operator integral, referred to as the amplitude integral (AI) and used in the BC-method (based on boundarycontrol theory) for solving inverse problems, is systematically studied. For a continuous operator and two families of increasing subspaces, the continual analog of the matrix diagonal in the form of an AI is introduced. The convergence of the AI is discussed. An example of an operator with no diagonal is provided. The role of the diagonal in the problem of triangular factorization is elucidated. The well-known result of matrix theory stating the uniqueness of triangular factorization with a prescribed diagonal is extended. It is shown that the corresponding factor can be represented in the AI form. The correspondence between the AI and the classical representation of the triangular factor of an operator that is a sum of the identity and a compact operator is established.Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 239, 1997, pp. 45–60.This work was supported by INTAS under grant INTAS 93-1815 and by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under grant 96-01-00666.
