Abstract

For each sequence {cn}n\{c_n\}_n in l1(N)l_{1}(\N) we define an operator AA in the hyperfinite II1\mathrm{II}_1-factor R\mathcal{R}. We prove that these operators are quasinilpotent and they generate the whole hyperfinite II1\mathrm{II}_1-factor. We show that they have non-trivial, closed, invariant subspaces affiliated to the von Neumann algebra and we provide enough evidence to suggest that these operators are interesting for the hyperinvariant subspace problem. We also present some of their properties. In particular, we show that the real and imaginary part of AA are equally distributed, and we find a combinatorial formula as well as an analytical way to compute their moments. We present a combinatorial way of computing the moments of AAA^{*}A.
