In this paper we study the reflexivity of a unital strongly closed algebra of operators with complemented invariant subspace lattice on a Banach space. We prove that if such an algebra contains a complete Boolean algebra of projections of…

A bounded linear operator $T$ on a Banach space $X$ is called subspace-hypercyclic if there is a subspace $M \subsetneq X$ and a vector $x \in X$ such that $orb{(x,T)} \cap M$ is dense in $M$. We show that every Banach space supports…

We present a sufficient condition for smoothness of bounded linear operators on Banach spaces for the first time. Let $T, A \in B(\mathbb{X}, \mathbb{Y}),$ where $\mathbb{X}$ is a real Banach space and $\mathbb{Y}$ is a real normed linear…

Let $\mathscr{X}$ be a complex Banach space and $\mathcal{L}(\mathscr{X})$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathscr{X}$. For a given elementary operator $\Phi$ of length $2$ on $\mathcal{L}(\mathscr{X})$, we determine…

We study a hypercyclicity property of linear dynamical systems: a bounded linear operator T acting on a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space X is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector x in X such that {T^{n}x : n>0} is…

We study several notions of boundedness for operators. It is known that any power bounded operator is absolutely Ces\`aro bounded and strong Kreiss bounded (in particular, uniformly Kreiss bounded). The converses do not hold in general. In…

In topological equivalence, a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces - we focus on the case of Hilbert spaces - is viewed as only acting linearly and continuously between them qua different spaces with the structure of linear…

In this article, we address a problem posed by F. Bayart regarding the existence of an infinite-dimensional closed vector subspace (excluding the null operator) within the set of supercyclic operators on Banach spaces. We resolve this…

In this work, we prove that linear bounded operators $T$ on a Banach space $X$ allowing spectral cuts along rectifiable Jordan curves meeting their spectrum are related to classes of operators admitting an unconventional functional…

This paper is a sequel to [6]. In that paper we transferred the discussions in [1] and [13] concerning almost invariant half-spaces for operators on complex Banach spaces to the context of operators on Hilbert space, and we gave easier…

Bishop operators $T_{\alpha}$ acting on $L^2[0,1)$ were proposed by E. Bishop in the fifties as possible operators which might entail counterexamples for the Invariant Subspace Problem. We prove that all the Bishop operators are…

A complex number $\lambda$ is called an extended eigenvalue of a bounded linear operator $T$ on a Banach space $\B$ if there exists a non-zero bounded linear operator $X$ acting on $\B$ such that $XT=\lambda TX$. We show that there are…

We answer the question of W.T. Gowers, giving an example of a bounded operator on a subspace of Gowers unconditional space which is not a strictly singular perturbation of a restriction of a diagonal operator. We make some observations on…

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 &…

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…

Let $E$ and $G$ be two Banach function spaces, let $T \in \mathcal{L}(E,Y)$, and let ${\langle X,Y \rangle}$ be a Banach dual pair. In this paper we give conditions for which there exists a (necessarily unique) bounded linear operator…

A space $X$ is said to be hereditarily indecomposable if no two (infinite dimensional) subspaces of $X$ are in a direct sum. In this paper, we show that if $X$ is a complex hereditarily indecomposable Banach space, then every operator from…

The purpose of this note is to show that, if $\mcB$ is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space $\mcB'$ has a "Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes $\mcB$ much closer to a Hilbert space then previously…

Let X be a complex Banach space of dimension at least 2, and let S be a multiplicative semigroup of operators on X such that the rank of AB - BA is at most 1 for all pairs {A,B} in S. We prove that S has a non-trivial invariant subspace…

We show that for any bounded operator $T$ acting on infinite dimensional, complex Banach space, and for any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists an operator $F$ of rank at most one and norm smaller than $\varepsilon$ such that $T+F$ has an…
