Abstract

If TT is a bounded linear operator acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach space XX, we say that a closed subspace YY of XX of both infinite dimension and codimension is an almost-invariant halfspace (AIHS) under TT whenever TYY+ETY\subseteq Y+E for some finite-dimensional subspace EE, or, equivalently, (T+F)YY(T+F)Y\subseteq Y for some finite-rank perturbation F:XXF:X\to X. We discuss the existence of AIHS's for various restrictions on EE and FF when XX is a complex Banach space. We also extend some of these and other results in the literature to the setting where XX is a real Banach space instead of a complex one.
