Abstract

We investigate spaceability phenomena in linear dynamics from a structural perspective. Given a continuous linear operator T:XXT:X \to X, we introduce the set Ω(T)\Omega(T), consisting of all continuous linear operators h:XXh:X \to X for which there exists a strictly increasing sequence (θn)n(\theta_n)_n of positive integers such that the set {xX:limnTθnx=h(x)}\{x \in X : \displaystyle{\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} T^{\theta_n}x = h(x)}\} is dense in XX. Within this framework, two classical phenomena--the existence of hypercyclic and recurrent subspaces in separable infinite-dimensional complex Banach spaces--emerge as instances of a common underlying structure described by Ω(T)\Omega(T). To analyze Ω(T)\Omega(T), we introduce the notion of collections simultaneously approximated (c.s.a.) by TT, and show that every maximal c.s.a. is an SOT-closed affine manifold. For quasi-rigid operators on separable Banach spaces, we establish the existence of a unique maximal c.s.a. containing the identity operator. Furthermore, we examine Ω(T)\Omega(T) through the left-multiplication operator LTL_T acting on the algebra of bounded operators. Our approach combines two key ingredients: a refinement of A. L\'opez's technique on recurrent subspaces for quasi-rigid operators, and a common dense-lineability result obtained by the first author and A. Arbieto. These tools yield new spaceability results for the sets Ω(T)\Omega(T), APΩ(T)\mathcal{AP}\Omega(T), and for any countable c.s.a. by TT.
