Let $T$ be a polynomially bounded operator, and let $\mathcal M$ be its invariant subspace. Suppose that $P_{\mathcal M^\perp}T|_{\mathcal M^\perp}$ is similar to a contraction, while $\theta(T|_{\mathcal M})=0$, where $\theta$ is a finite…

Let $T$ be an operator on Banach space $X$ that is similar to $- T$ via an involution $U$. Then $U$ decomposes the Banach space $X$ as $X = X_1 \oplus X_2$ with respect to which decomposition we have $U = \left(\begin{matrix} I_1 & 0 \\ 0 &…

Motivated by importance of operator spaces contained in the set of all scalar multiples of isometries ($MI$-spaces) in a separable Hilbert space for $C^*$-algebras and E-semigroups we exhibit more properties of such spaces. For example, if…

Let $\eps >0$. We prove that there exists an operator $T_\eps:\ell_2\to\ell_2$, such that for any polynomial $P$ we have $\|{P(T)}\| \leq(1+\eps)\|{P}\|_\infty$, but which is not similar to a contraction, {\it i.e.} there does not exist an…

An operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is called expansive, if $\|Tx\|\geq \|x\|$ ($x\in\mathcal H$). Expansive operators $T$ quasisimilar to the unilateral shift $S_N$ of finite multiplicity $N$ are studied. It is proved that…

A complete characterization of the similarity between two operator-valued multishifts with invertible operator weights is obtained purely in terms of operator weights. This generalizes several existing results of the unitary equivalence of…

Let $T$ be a quasinilpotent operator on a Banach space. Under assumptions of a certain nonsymmetry in the growth of the resolvent of $T$, it is proved that every operator in the commutant of $T$ is not unicellular. In particular, $T$ has…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…

We show that if a nonscalar operator on a separable Hilbert space has a nontrivial invariant subspace, then it has also a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace. Thus the hyperinvariant subspace problem is equivalent to the invariant subspace…

We obtain a Bloom-type characterization of the two-weighted boundedness of iterated commutators of singular integrals. The necessity is established for a rather wide class of operators, providing a new result even in the unweighted setting…

We show that (for the weak operator topology) the set of unitary operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is residual in the set of all contractions. The analogous result holds for isometries and the strong operator…

In this paper we give a various conditions for which the tuple $\mathcal{T} = (T_{1} , T_{2} , ... , T_{n})$ of commutative bounded linear operators on an infinite dimensional ( real , complex ) Banach space X is orbit reflexive. After we…

Sz.-Nagy's famous theorem states that a bounded operator $T$ which acts on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is similar to a unitary operator if and only if $T$ is invertible and both $T$ and $T^{-1}$ are power bounded. There is an…

We study the invariant subspaces of abelian operator algebras of finite split strict multiplicity. We give sufficient conditions for the reflexivity and hereditary reflexivity of these algebras.

Quasianalytic contractions form the crucial class in the quest for proper invariant and hyperinvariant subspaces for asymptotically non-vanishing Hilbert space contractions. The property of quasianalycity relies on the concepts of unitary…

It is shown that, under some natural additional conditions, an operator which intertwines one cyclic singular unitary operator with one dimensional perturbation of another cyclic singular unitary operator is the operator of multiplication…

For a power bounded or polynomially bounded operator $T$ sufficient conditions for the existence of a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace are given. The obtained hyperinvariant subspaces of $T$ have the form of the closure of the range of…

A criterion on the similarity of a (bounded, linear) operator $T$ on a (complex, separable) Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ in terms of shift-type invariant subspaces of $T$ to a contraction of class $C_{\cdot 0}$ with finite unequal defects is…
