Abstract
Motivated by Sarnak's conjecture in topological dynamics for the M\"obius function , we study, for a power-bounded on a Banach space , the weak convergence For that, we introduce a notion of dynamical entropy for operators, which we denote , and show that if Sarnak's conjecture is true, then implies the desired convergence (*). We conclude an equivalent operator formulation of Sarnak's conjecture. For several classes of operators we prove that (*) holds, and that .
