Spectral Theory 2008-12-05 v1

Abstract

The tensor and exterior squares of a completely continuous non-negative linear operator AA acting in the ideal space X(Ω)X(\Omega) are studied. The theorem representing the point spectrum (except, probably, zero) of the tensor square AAA \otimes A in the terms of the spectrum of the initial operator AA is proved. The existence of the second (according to the module) positive eigenvalue λ2\lambda_2, or a pair of complex adjoint eigenvalues of a completely continuous non-negative operator AA is proved under the additional condition, that its exterior square AAA\wedge A is also nonnegative.
