Invariant subspaces for positive operators on Banach spaces with unconditional basis

Functional Analysis 2020-05-05 v1

Abstract

We prove that every lattice homomorphism acting on a Banach space X\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, which is no longer true for every positive operator on such a space. Motivated by these later examples, we characterize tridiagonal positive operators without non-trivial closed invariant ideals on X\mathcal{X} extending to this context a result of Grivaux on the existence of non-trivial closed invariant subspaces for tridiagonal operators.
