On Invariant Graph Subspaces

In this paper we discuss the problem of decomposition for unbounded \({2\times2}\) operator matrices by a pair of complementary invariant graph subspaces. Under mild additional assumptions, we show that such a pair of subspaces decomposes the operator matrix if and only if its domain is invariant for the angular operators associated with the graphs. As a byproduct of our considerations, we suggest a new block diagonalization procedure that resolves related domain issues. In the case when only a single invariant graph subspace is available, we obtain block triangular representations for the operator matrices.

Invariant Subspaces for Pairs of Projections

A simple geometrical argument shows that every pair of projectionson a finite-dimensional complex vector space has a common invariantsubspace of dimension 1 or 2. The idea extends to certain pairsof projections on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space H. Inparticular every projection on H has a reducing subspace, althougha finite-dimensional one need not exist. In a final section,the results are extended to the existence of hyperinvariantsubspaces for pairs of projections.     

Invariant Maximal Positive Subspaces and Polar Decompositions

It is proved that invertible operators on a Krein space which have an invariant maximal uniformly positive subspace and map its orthogonal complement into a nonnegative subspace allow polar decompositions with additional spectral properties. As a corollary, several classes of Krein space operators are shown to allow polar decompositions. An example in a finite dimensional Krein space shows that there exist dissipative operators that do not allow polar decompositions.     

Mixed Invariant Subspaces over the Bidisk

It is known that the structure of invariant subspaces I of the Hardy space H ² over the bidisk is extremely complicated. One reason is that it is difficult to describe infinite dimensional wandering spaces ${I\ominus zI}$ completely. In this paper, we study the structure of nontrivial closed subspaces N of H ² with ${T_zN\subset N}$ and ${T^*_wN\subset N}$ , which are called mixed invariant subspaces under T _z and ${T^*_w}$ . We know that the dimension of ${N\ominus zN}$ ranges from 1 to ??. If ${T^*_w(N\ominus zN)\subset N\ominus zN}$ , we may describe N completely. If ${T^*_w(N\ominus zN)\not\subset N\ominus zN}$ , it seems difficult to describe N generally. So we study N under the condition ${dim\,(N\ominus zN)=1}$ . Write ${M=H^2\ominus N}$ . We describe ${M\ominus wM}$ precisely. We give a characterization of N for which there is a nonzero function ${\varphi}$ in ${M\ominus wM}$ satisfying ${z^k\varphi\in M\ominus wM}$ for every k ?? 0. We also see that the space ${M\ominus wM}$ has a deep connection with the de Branges?CRovnyak spaces studied by Sarason.     

Bounded Sequences,Orbits and Invariant Subspaces

Let {x _n } be a sequence of complex numbers and let \({\Delta^nx_j = \sum\nolimits_{k=0}^{n} (-1)^k\break\left(\begin{array}{l}n\\ k\\\end{array} \right)x_{n-k+j}}\) . In this paper, we will show that if \({ |x_n| = O(n^k)}\) , as n → ∞ for some positive integer k, and \({n|\Delta^n x_j|^{\frac{1}{n}} \to 0}\) as n→ ∞, then \({\Delta^{k+1} x_j = 0}\) . More importantly, applications to the orbits of operators and invariant subspace problem are also given; this helps to improve former results obtained by Gelfand–Hille, Mbekhta–Zemánek and others.     

Complemented Invariant Subspaces in Bergman Spaces

It is shown that the invariant subspace of the Bergman spaceA^p of the unit disk, generated by either an A^p-interpolatingsequence or a singular inner function with a single point masson the unit circle, is complemented in A^p.     

Invariant and Almost-Invariant Subspaces for Pairs of Idempotents

It is known that every bounded operator on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space \({\mathcal{H}}\) has an invariant subspace if and only if each pair of idempotents on \({\mathcal{H}}\) has a common invariant subspace. We show that the same equivalence holds for operators and pairs of idempotents that are essentially selfadjoint. We also show that each pair of idempotents on \({\mathcal{H}}\) has a common almost-invariant half-space.     

Stability of Invariant Subspaces of Quaternion Matrices

A quaternion invariant subspace of a quaternion matrix is said to be stable (in the sense of robustness) if every nearby matrix has an invariant subspace close to the original one. Under mild hypothesis, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for quaternion invariant subspaces to be stable. Other notions of stability of quaternion invariant subspaces are studied as well, and stability criteria developed. Applications to robustness of solutions of certain classes of quaternion matrix equations are given.     

Invariant Subspaces for Semigroups of Algebraic Operators

T. Laffey showed (Linear and Multilinear Algebra6(1978), 269–305) that a semigroup of matrices is triangularizable if the ranks of all the commutators of elements of the semigroup are at most 1. Our main theorem is an extension of Hthis result to semigroups of algebraic operators on a Banach space. We also obtain a related theorem for a pair {A, B} of arbitrary bounded operators satisfying rank (AB−BA)=1 and several related conditions. In addition, it is shown that a semigroup of algebraically unipotent operators of bounded degree is triangularizable.     

Elliptic Operators in Subspaces and the Eta Invariant

In this paper we obtain a formula for the fractional part of the -invariant for elliptic self-adjoint operators in topological terms. The computation of the -invariant is based on the index theorem for elliptic operators in subspaces obtained by Savin and Sternin. We also apply the K-theory with coefficients _n . In particular, it is shown that the group K(T ^* M, _n ) is realized by elliptic operators (symbols) acting in appropriate subspaces.
