We prove the existence of a non-trivial hyperinvariant subspace for several sets of polynomially compact operators. The main results of the paper are: (i) a non-trivial norm closed algebra $\mathcal A\subseteq \mathcal B(\mathscr X)$ which…

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…

There is a resent paper claiming that every hyponormal operator which is not a multiple of the identity (operator) has a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace. If this claim is true, then every hyponormal operator has a nontrivial invariant…

This paper explores the Invariant Subspace Problem in operator theory and functional analysis, examining its applications in various branches of mathematics and physics. The problem addresses the existence of invariant subspaces for bounded…

In this paper we study sufficient conditions for an operator to have an almost-invariant half-space. As a consequence, we show that if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space then every operator $T\in\mathcal{L}(X)$ admits an…

We show that for any bounded operator $T$ acting on an infinite dimensional Banach space there exists an operator $F$ of rank at most one such that $T+F$ has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. We also show that…

All the spaces considered are over $\bbc$. $Z$ represents any Banach space, $L(Z)$ the space of all the bounded operators on $Z$, and $H$ any Hilbert space. We will prove that for any unital proper weakly closed subalgebra (upwcsa)…

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 :…

An operator $T$ on a Banach space is said to be of chain $N$ if there exist non-scalar operators $S_1,...,S_{N-1}$ and a non-zero compact $K$ such that $$T \leftrightarrow S_1 \leftrightarrow S_2 \leftrightarrow ...\leftrightarrow S_{N-1}…

Finite rank perturbations of diagonalizable normal operators acting boundedly on infinite dimensional, separable, complex Hilbert spaces are considered from the standpoint of view of the existence of invariant subspaces. In particular, if…

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…

Let $T\in B(\mathcal{H})$ be an invertible operator. From the 1940's, Gelfand, Hille and Wermer investigated the invariant subspaces of $T$ by analyzing the growth of $\|T^n\|$, where $n\in \mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we study the invariant…

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…

We prove that every lattice homomorphism acting on a Banach space $\mathcal{X}$ with the lattice structure given by an unconditional basis has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. In fact, it has a non-trivial closed invariant ideal,…

In this article we obtain some positive results about the existence of a common nontrivial invariant subspace for $N$-tuples of not necessarily commuting operators on Banach spaces with a Schauder basis. The concept of joint quasinilpotence…

We construct a continuous linear operator acting on the space of smooth functions on the real line without non-trivial invariant subspaces. This is a first example of such an operator acting on a Fr\'echet space without a continuous norm.…

Let $T$ be an absolutely continuous polynomially bounded operator, and let $\theta$ be a singular inner function. It is shown that if $\theta(T)$ is invertible and some additional conditions are fulfilled, then $T$ has nontrivial…

In this article, we prove the existence of a non-trivial hyperinvariant subspace for a subclass of compact perturbations of scalar multiple of a partial isometry. Later, we illustrate that this class contains several important classes of…

If T is a bounded linear operator acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach space, then there exists and operator F of rank at most one and arbitrarily small norm such that T-F has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension.…

Operators of multiplication by independent variables on the space of square summable functions over the torus and its Hardy subspace are considered. Invariant subspaces where the operators are compatible are described.
