Abstract

Denote by Tnd(A)T_n^d(A) an upper triangular operator matrix of dimension nn whose diagonal entries DiD_i are known, where A=(Aij)1i<jnA=(A_{ij})_{1\leq i<j\leq n} is an unknown tuple of operators. This article is aimed at investigation of defect spectrum Dσ=i=1nσ(Di)σ(Tnd(A))\mathcal{D}^{\sigma_*}=\bigcup\limits_{i=1}^n\sigma_*(D_i)\setminus\sigma_*(T_n^d(A)) , where σ\sigma_* is a spectrum corresponding to various types of invertibility: (left, right) invertibility, (left, right) Fredholm invertibility, left Weyl invertibility, right Weyl invertibility. We give characterizations for each of the previous types, and provide some sufficent conditions for the stability of certain spectrum (case Dσ=\mathcal{D}^{\sigma_*}=\emptyset). Our main results hold for an arbitrary dimension n2n\geq2 in arbitrary Hilbert or Banach spaces without assuming separability, thus generalizing results from \cite{WU}, \cite{WU2}. Hence, we complete a trilogy to previous work \cite{SARAJLIJA2}, \cite{SARAJLIJA3} of the same author, whose goal was to explore basic invertibility properties of Tnd(A)T_n^d(A) that are studied in Fredholm theory. We also retrieve a result from \cite{BAI} in the case n=2n=2, and we provide a precise form of the well known 'filling in holes' result from \cite{HAN}.
