2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47A10, 47A13.In this paper, we give a description of Taylor spectrum of commuting 2-contractions in terms of characteritic functions of such contractions. The case of a single contraction obtained by B. Sz. Nagy and C. Foias is generalied in this work.
A Banach space operator T ∈ has a left m-inverse (resp., an essential left m-inverse) for some integer m ≥ 1 if there exists an operator S ∈ (resp., an operator S ∈ and a compact operator K ∈ ) such that (resp., ). If is left -invertible (resp., essentially left -invertible), then the tensor product T₁ ⊗ T₂ is left (m₁ + m₂-1)-invertible (resp., essentially left (m₁ + m₂-1)-invertible). Furthermore, if T₁ is strictly left m-invertible (resp., strictly essentially left m-invertible), then...
We provide a survey of properties of the Cesàro operator on Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces, along with its connections to semigroups of weighted composition operators. We also describe recent developments regarding Cesàro-like operators and indicate some open questions and directions of future research.
We compute the essential Taylor spectrum of a tuple of analytic Toeplitz operators on , where D is a strictly pseudoconvex domain. We also provide specific formulas for the index of provided that is a compact subset of D.
A family T(ν), ν ∈ ℝ, of semiinfinite positive Jacobi matrices is introduced with matrix entries taken from the Hahn-Exton q-difference equation. The corresponding matrix operators defined on the linear hull of the canonical basis in ℓ2(ℤ+) are essentially self-adjoint for |ν| ≥ 1 and have deficiency indices (1, 1) for |ν| < 1. A convenient description of all self-adjoint extensions is obtained and the spectral problem is analyzed in detail. The spectrum is discrete and the characteristic equation...
We show that the existence of a trace on an ideal in a Banach algebra provides an elegant way to develop the abstract index theory of Fredholm elements in the algebra. We prove some results on the problem of the equality of the nonzero exponential spectra of elements ab and ba and use the index theory to formulate a condition guaranteeing this equality in a quotient algebra.
We show that the index defined via a trace for Fredholm elements in a Banach algebra has the property that an index zero Fredholm element can be decomposed as the sum of an invertible element and an element in the socle. We identify the set of index zero Fredholm elements as an upper semiregularity with the Jacobson property. The Weyl spectrum is then characterized in terms of the index.
Let be a commutative complex semisimple Banach algebra. Denote by the kernel of the hull of the socle of . In this work we give some new characterizations of this ideal in terms of minimal idempotents in . This allows us to show that a “result” from Riesz theory in commutative Banach algebras is not true.
The spectral problem (s²I - ϕ(V)*ϕ(V))f = 0 for an arbitrary complex polynomial ϕ of the classical Volterra operator V in L₂(0,1) is considered. An equivalent boundary value problem for a differential equation of order 2n, n = deg(ϕ), is constructed. In the case ϕ(z) = 1 + az the singular numbers are explicitly described in terms of roots of a transcendental equation, their localization and asymptotic behavior is investigated, and an explicit formula for the ||I + aV||₂ is given. For all a ≠ 0 this...
Let ϕ(z) be an analytic function in a disk |z| < ρ (in particular, a polynomial) such that ϕ(0) = 1, ϕ(z)≢ 1. Let V be the operator of integration in , 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Then ϕ(V) is power bounded if and only if ϕ’(0) < 0 and p = 2. In this case some explicit upper bounds are given for the norms of ϕ(V)ⁿ and subsequent differences between the powers. It is shown that ϕ(V) never satisfies the Ritt condition but the Kreiss condition is satisfied if and only if ϕ’(0) < 0, at least in the polynomial...
