We consider contractive operators $T$ that are trace class perturbations of a unitary operator $U$. We prove that the dimension functions of the absolutely continuous spectrum of $T$, $T^*$ and of $U$ coincide. In particular, if $U$ has a…

Let $K$ be an absolutely convex infinite-dimensional compact in a Banach space $\mathcal{X}$. The set of all bounded linear operators $T$ on $\mathcal{X}$ satisfying $TK\supset K$ is denoted by $G(K)$. Our starting point is the study of the…

Let $X$ be a complex Banach space and let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on $X$. For any closed $T$-invariant subspace $F$ of $X$, $T$ induces operators $T_{|F}:F \longrightarrow F$ and $T/F:X/F\longrightarrow X/F$. In this note, we give…

We give new necessary and sufficient conditions for the numerical range $W(T)$ of an operator $T \in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ to be a subset of the closed elliptical set $K_\delta \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ given by \[ K_\delta {\stackrel{\rm…

We show that a densely defined closable operator $A$ such that the resolvent set of $A^2$ is not empty is necessarily closed. This result is then extended to the case of a polynomial $p(A)$. We also generalize a recent result by…

The invariant subspace problem (ISP) is a well known unsolved problem in funtional analysis. While many partial results are known, the general case for complex, infinite dimensional separable Hilbert spaces is still open. It has been shown…

Real linear operators emerge in a range of mathematical physics applications. In this paper spectral questions of compact real linear operators are addressed. A Lomonosov-type invariant subspace theorem for antilinear compact operators is…

In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-norm-attaining operators in $\mathcal{L}(E, F)$. By using a theorem due to Pfitzner on James boundaries, we show that if there exists a relatively compact…

This paper delves into several characterizations of $A$-approximate point spectrum of A-bounded operators acting on a complex semi-Hilbertian space $H$ and also investigates properties of the $A$-approximate point spectrum for the tensor…

Let $(X,+,d)$ be an Abelian metric group and $A\subset X$. We investigate the spectre of a set $A$, defined as the set of all elements $z\in X$ such that for every $x\in A$ either $x+z \in A$ or $x-z \in A$. We consider the corresponding to…

We establish the convergence of pseudospectra in Hausdorff distance for closed operators acting in different Hilbert spaces and converging in the generalised norm resolvent sense. As an assumption, we exclude the case that the limiting…

We prove that for a right linear bounded normal operator on a quaternionic Hilbert space (quaternionic bounded normal operator) the norm and the numerical radius are equal. As a consequence of this result we give a new proof of the known…

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…

In this paper, to solve the invariant subspace problem, contraction operators are classified into three classes ; (Case 1) completely non-unitary contractions with a non-trivial algebraic element, (Case 2) completely non-unitary…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

Finite rank perturbations $T=N+K$ of a bounded normal operator $N$ on a separable Hilbert space are studied thanks to a natural functional model of $T$; in its turn the functional model solely relies on a perturbation matrix/ characteristic…

The famous Lomonosov's invariant subspace theorem states that if a continuous linear operator T on an infinite-dimensional normed space E "commutes" with a compact nonzero operator K, i.e., TK=KT, then T has a non-trivial closed invariant…

We prove that a bounded linear Hilbert space operator has the unit circle in its essential approximate point spectrum if and only if it admits an orbit satisfying certain orthogonality and almost-orthogonality relations. This result is…

Let T be a C_{\cdot 0}-contraction on a Hilbert space H and S be a non-trivial closed subspace of H. We prove that S is a T-invariant subspace of H if and only if there exists a Hilbert space D and a partially isometric operator \Pi :…

We introduce a weakened notion of norm attainment for bounded linear operators between Banach spaces which we call \emph{quasi norm attaining operators}. An operator $T\colon X \longrightarrow Y$ between the Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ is…
