Let B be a p-uniformly convex Banach space, with p >= 2. Let T be a linear operator on B, and let A_n x denote the ergodic average (1 / n) sum_{i< n} T^n x. We prove the following variational inequality in the case where T is power bounded…

We apply Wermuth's theorem on commuting operator exponentials to show that if $A, B \in B(X)$, $X$ being Banach space and $A$ of $2\pi i$-congruence free spectrum, then $e^A B = B e^A$ if and only if $AB=BA$. We employ this observation to…

We construct multidimensional Schr\"odinger operators with a spectrum that has no gaps at high energies and that is nowhere dense at low energies. This gives the first example for which this widely expected topological structure of the…

For an unbounded operator $S$ on a Banach space the existence of invariant subspaces corresponding to its spectrum in the left and right half-plane is proved. The general assumption on $S$ is the uniform boundedness of the resolvent along…

Let $A,$ $T$ and $B$ be bounded linear operators on a Banach space. This paper is concerned mainly with finding some necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence in operator norm of the sequences $\left\{ A^{n}TB^{n}\right\} $ and…

We study the coefficients of the Taylor series expansion of powers of the function $\psi(x)=\frac{1-\sqrt{1-x}}{x}$, where the Brunel operator $A\equiv A(T)$ is defined as $\psi(T)$ for any mean-bounded $T$. We prove several new precise…

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…

Let $\mathcal{B}(X)$ be the algebra of all bounded operators acting on an infinite dimensional complex Banach space $X$. We say that an operator $T \in \mathcal{B}(X)$ satisfies the problem of descent spectrum equality, if the descent…

Let $X$ be a Banach space and $\mathcal A$ be the Banach algebra $B(X)$ of bounded (i.e. continuous) linear transformations (to be called operators) on $X$ to itself. Let $\mathcal E$ be the set of idempotents in $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal…

We show that any bounded operator $T$ on a separable, reflexive, infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ admits a rank one perturbation which has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. In the non-reflexive spaces, we…

Based on a thorough numerical analysis of the spectrum of Harper's operator, which describes, e.g., an electron on a two-dimensional lattice subjected to a magnetic field perpendicular to the lattice plane, we make the following conjecture:…

Let $T$ be a positive operator on a complex Banach lattice. It is a long open problem whether the peripheral spectrum $\sigma_{\operatorname{per}}(T)$ of $T$ is always cyclic. We consider several growth conditions on $T$, involving its…

We consider whether L = limsup_{n to infty} n ||T^{n+1}-T^n|| < infty implies that the operator T is power bounded. We show that this is so if L<1/e, but it does not necessarily hold if L=1/e. As part of our methods, we improve a result of…

We show that it is impossible to quantify the decay rate of a semi-uniformly stable operator semigroup based on sole knowledge of the spectrum of its infinitesimal generator. More precisely, given an arbitrary positive function $r$…

We give sufficient conditions on a Banach space $X$ which ensure that $\ell_{\infty}$ embeds in $\mathcal{L}(X)$, the space of all operators on $X$. We say that a basic sequence $(e_n)$ is quasisubsymmetric if for any two increasing…

We study the spectrum of the Dirac operator $D$ on pseudo-Riemannian spin manifolds of signature $(p,q)$, considered as an unbounded operator in the Hilbert space $L^2_\xi(S)$. The definition of $L^2_\xi(S)$ involves the choice of a…

For a linear operator $T$ in a Banach space let $\sigma_p(T)$ denote the point spectrum of $T$, $\sigma_{p[n]}(T)$ for finite $n > 0$ be the set of all $\lambda \in \sigma_p(T)$ such that $\dim \ker (T - \lambda) = n$ and let…

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…

Given $\rho\in (0,1/4]$, the four corner Cantor set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is a self-similar set generated by the iterated function system \[ \left\{(\rho x, \rho y), \quad(\rho x, \rho y+1-\rho),\quad (\rho x+1-\rho, \rho y),\quad(\rho…
