The paper is concerned with the following question: if $A$ and $B$ are two bounded operators between Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}$, and $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ are two closed subspaces in $\mathcal{H}$, when will…

We prove that if $X,Y$ are Banach spaces, $\Omega$ a compact Hausdorff space and $U\hbox{\rm :} C(\Omega,X)\to Y$ is a bounded linear operator, and if $U$ is a Dunford--Pettis operator the range of the representing measure $G(\Sigma)…

The Invariant Subspace Problem (ISP) for Hilbert spaces asks if every bounded linear operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. Due to the existence of universal operators (in the sense of Rota), the ISP may be solved by…

Let ${\mathcal B}(H)$ denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space $H$ with $\dim H\geq 3$, and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be subsets of ${\mathcal B}(H)$ which contain all rank one operators.…

We answer, by counterexample, several open questions concerning algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. The answers add further weight to the thesis that, for many purposes, such algebras ought to be studied in the framework of operator…

The existence of a Banach limit as a translation invariant positive continuous linear functional on the space of bounded scalar sequences which is equal to 1 at the constant sequence (1,1,...,1,...) is proved in a first course on functional…

The numerical range of a bounded linear operator on a complex Banach space need not be convex unlike that on a Hilbert space. The aim of this paper is to study operators $T$ on $ \ell^2_p $ for which the numerical range is convex. We also…

We consider the action of finitely truncated singular integral operators on functions taking values in a Banach space. Such operators are bounded for any Banach space, but we show a quantitative improvement over the trivial bound in any…

An operator $T$ acting on a Banach space $X$ is said to be super-recurrent if for each open subset $U$ of $X$, there exist $\lambda\in\mathbb{K}$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $\lambda T^n(U)\cap U\neq\emptyset$. In this paper, we…

Given Hilbert space operators $P,T\in B(\H), P\geq 0$ invertible, $T$ is $(m,P)-$ expansive (resp., $(m,P)-$ isometric) for some positive integer $m$ if…

We show that if A is a Hilbert-space operator, then the set of all projections onto hyperinvariant subspaces of A, which is contained in the von Neumann algebra vN(A) that is generated by A, is independent of the representation of vN(A),…

We show that if the Szlenk index of a Banach space $X$ is larger than the first infinite ordinal $\omega$ or if the Szlenk index of its dual is larger than $\omega$, then the tree of all finite sequences of integers equipped with the…

Schr\'{o}dinger's equation with distributional $\delta$, or $\delta'$ potentials has been well studied in the past. There are challenges in simultaneously addressing some of the inherent issues of the system: The functional operator cannot…

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…

In this paper, we first study some elementary properties of a typical positive contraction on $\ell_q$ for the Strong Operator Topology and the Strong* Operator Topology. Using these properties, we prove that a typical positive contraction…

In this paper, we investigate power-bounded operators, including surjective isometries, on Banach spaces. Koehler and Rosenthal asserted that an isolated point in the spectrum of a surjective isometry on a Banach space lies in the point…

Our aim in this paper is to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for weighted shift operators on the Hilbert spaces $\ell^{2}(\mathbb Z)$ and $\ell^{2}(\mathbb N)$ to be subspace-transitive, consequently, we show that the Herrero…

Invertibility of Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space and the related Douglas problem are long standing open problems. In this paper we study the invertibility problem under the novel geometric condition on the image of the symbols,…

A bounded linear operator between Banach spaces is called {\it completely continuous} if it carries weakly convergent sequences into norm convergent sequences. Isolated is a universal operator for the class of non-completely-continuous…

In this paper we investigate Hirano invertibility of anti-triangular matrix over a Banach algebra. Let $a\in {\mathcal A}^H, b\in {\mathcal A}^{sD}.$ If $b^Da=0, bab^{\pi}=0,$ we prove that $\begin{pmatrix} a&1\\ b&0 \end{pmatrix}\in…
