Let T be the quasinilpotent operator on ell_1 without an invariant subspace constructed by C. J. Read in [R3]. We prove that the modulus of this operator has an invariant subspace (and even an eigenvector). This answers a question posed by…

If $T$ is a polynomially bounded operator, $\mathcal M$ is an invariant subspace of $T$, $T|_{\mathcal M}$ is a unilateral shift and $T^*|_{\mathcal M^\perp}$ is subnormal, then $T$ has a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace. If an operator…

In this paper, we give an example of a closed unbounded operator whose square's domain and adjoint's square domain are equal and trivial. Then, we come up with an essentially self-adjoint whose square has a trivial domain.

We present a general method for constructing operators without non-trivial invariant closed subsets on a large class of non-reflexive Banach spaces. In particular, our approach unifies and generalizes several constructions due to Read of…

We show that a bounded quasinilpotent operator $T$ acting on an infinite dimensional Banach space has an invariant subspace if and only if there exists a rank one operator $F$ and a scalar $\alpha\in\mathbb{C}$, $\alpha\neq 0$, $\alpha\neq…

Using Read's construction of operators without non-trivial invariant subspaces/subsets on $\ell_{1}$ or $c_{0}$, we construct examples of operators on a Hilbert space whose set of hypercyclic vectors is "large" in various senses. We give an…

It is shown that if the Deddens algebra ${\mathcal D}_T$ associated with a quasinilpotent operator $T$ on a complex Banach space is closed and localizing then $T$ has a nontrivial closed hyperinvariant subspace.

In this paper we show that every bounded linear operator T on a Hilbert space H has a closed non-trivial invariant subspace.

In the setting of operators on Hilbert spaces, we prove that every quasinilpotent operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace if and only if every pair of idempotents with a quasinilpotent commutator has a non-trivial common closed…

For a wide class of pairs of unbounded selfadjoint operators with bounded commutator we construct a K-theoretical integer invariant which is continuous, is equal to zero for commuting operators and is equal to one for the pair (x, i d/dx).

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…

An adjoint pair is a pair of densely defined linear operators $A, B$ on a Hilbert space such that $\langle Ax,y\rangle=\langle x,By\rangle$ for $x\in \cD(A), y \in \cD(B).$ We consider adjoint pairs for which $0$ is a regular point for both…

We investigate the properties of bounded operators which satisfy a certain spectral additivity condition, and use our results to study Lie and Jordan algebras of compact operators. We prove that these algebras have nontrivial invariant…

We investigate the $n$th root problem for bounded operators on a Hilbert space within the class of conditionally positive definite (CPD) operators determined by the L\'evy--Khintchine formula. The class contains subnormal operators,…

In this article, we give conditions guaranteeing the commutativity of a bounded self-adjoint operator with an unbounded closed symmetric operator.

We introduce and study the following modified version of the Invariant Subspace Problem: whether every operator T on a Banach space has an almost invariant half-space, that is, a subspace Y of infinite dimension and infinite codimension…

Closed operators in Hilbert space defined by a non-self-adjoint resolution of the identity $\{X(\lambda)\}_{\lambda\in {\mb R}}$, whose adjoints constitute also a resolution of the identity, are studied . In particular, it is shown that a…

We show that finitely subgraded Lie algebras of compact operators have invariant subspaces when conditions of quasinilpotence are imposed on certain components of the subgrading. This allows us to obtain some useful information about the…

Let T:=[T_1,..., T_n] be an n-tuple of operators on a Hilbert space such that T is a completely non-coisometric row contraction. We establish the existence of a "one-to-one" correspondence between the joint invariant subspaces under…

Given a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space we study the problem of characterizing the set $\mathcal D(T)$ of all possible diagonals of $T$. For operators $T$ with at least two points in their…
