We give a condition ensuring that the operators in a nilpotent Lie algebra of linear operators on a finite dimensional vector space have a common eigenvector.

Let $(T\_\lambda)\_{\lambda\in\Lambda}$ be a family of operators acting on a $F$-space $X$, where the parameter space $\Lambda$ is a subset of $\mathbb R^d$. We give sufficient conditions on the family to yield the existence of a vector…

We treat the question of existence of common hypercyclic vectors for families of continuous linear operators. It is shown that for any continuous linear operator $T$ on a complex Fr\'echet space $X$ and a set $\Lambda\subseteq \R_+\times\C$…

The 1913 Helly's theorem states that any family ${\cal K}$ of $n\geq d+1$ convex sets in ${\mathbb R}^d$ can be pierced by a single point if and only if any $d+1$ of ${\cal K}$'s elements can. In 2002 Alon, Kalai, Matou\v{s}ek and Meshulam…

We study for $\alpha\in\R$, $k \in {\mathbb N} \setminus \{0\}$ the family of self-adjoint operators \[ -\frac{d^2}{dt^2}+\Bigl(\frac{t^{k+1}}{k+1}-\alpha\Bigr)^2 \] in $L^2(\R)$ and show that if $k$ is even then $\alpha=0$ gives the unique…

For linear operators $L, T$ and nonlinear maps $P$, we describe classes of simple maps $F = I - P T$, $F = L - P$ between Banach and Hilbert spaces, for which no point has more than two preimages. The classes encompass known examples…

We show that for arbitrary linearly ordered set $X$ any bounded family of (not necessarily, continuous) real valued functions on $X$ with bounded total variation does not contain independent sequences. We obtain generalized Helly's…

In the setting of operators on Hilbert spaces, we prove that every quasinilpotent operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace if and only if every pair of idempotents with a quasinilpotent commutator has a non-trivial common closed…

We show that any scalar differential operator with a family of polyno- mials as its common eigenfunctions leads canonically to a matrix differen- tial operator with the same property. The construction of the correspond- ing family of matrix…

By applying methods of Duhamel algebra and reproducing kernels, we prove that every linear bounded operator on the Hardy-Hilbert space H^{2}(D) has a nontrivial invariant subspace. This solves affirmatively the Invariant Subspace Problem in…

Hadwiger's theorem is a Helly-type theorem involving common transversals to families of convex sets instead of common intersections. Subsequently, Pollack and Wenger identified a necessary and sufficient condition, called a consistent…

A linear operator on a finite dimensional nonzero real vector space may not have an eigenvalue. We define a related notion of a true-pair of a linear operator, and then show that each linear operator on a finite dimensional nonzero real…

Some special Hilbert spaces are introduced to present the class of infinitesimal operators with complete minimal non-basis family of eigenvectors. The discrete Hardy inequality plays an important role in the proposed approach. The…

We prove Helly-type theorems for line transversals to disjoint unit balls in $\R^{d}$. In particular, we show that a family of $n \geq 2d$ disjoint unit balls in $\R^d$ has a line transversal if, for some ordering $\prec$ of the balls, any…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\alpha\in (1-1/d,1]$ a real number. There exists a real number $\beta(\alpha )>0$ such that if there are $\alpha {n\choose 2}$ intersecting pairs in…

A general classification of linear differential and finite-difference operators possessing a finite-dimensional invariant subspace with a polynomial basis (the generalized Bochner problem) is given. The main result is that any operator with…

We prove that the invariant subspaces of the Hardy operator on $L^2[0,1]$ are the spaces that are limits of sequences of finite dimensional spaces spanned by monomial functions.
