Extending previous results of H. Salas we obtain a characterisation of hypercyclic weighted shifts on an arbitrary F-sequence space in which the canonical unit vectors $\left(e_n\right)$ form a Schauder basis. If the basis is unconditional we give a characterisation of those hypercyclic weighted shifts that are even chaotic.

Let X be an infinite dimensional separable Banach space. There exists a hypercyclic operator on X which is equal to the identity operator on an infinite dimensional closed subspace of X.

A sequence (Tₙ) of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces X,Y is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector x ∈ X such that the orbit Tₙx is dense in Y. The paper gives a survey of various conditions that imply the hypercyclicity of (Tₙ) and studies relations among them. The particular case of X = Y and mutually commuting operators Tₙ is analyzed. This includes the most interesting cases (Tⁿ) and (λₙTⁿ) where T is a fixed operator and λₙ are complex numbers. We also study when a sequence...

Our aim in this paper is to prove that every separable infinite-dimensional complex Banach space admits a topologically mixing holomorphic uniformly continuous semigroup and to characterize the mixing property for semigroups of operators. A concrete characterization of being topologically mixing for the translation semigroup on weighted spaces of functions is also given. Moreover, we prove that there exists a commutative algebra of operators containing both a chaotic operator and an operator which...

In this paper we use Nachbin’s holomorphy types to generalize some recent results concerning hypercyclic convolution operators on Fréchet spaces of entire functions of bounded type of infinitely many complex variables

Hypercyclicity of C0-semigroups is a very unstable property: We give examples to show that adding arbitrary small constants or a bounded rank one operator to the generator of a hypercyclic semigroup can destroy hypercyclicity. Also the limit of hypercyclic semigroups (even in operator norm topology) need not be hypercyclic, and a hypercyclic semigroup can be the limit of nonhypercyclic ones. Hypercyclicity is not inherited by the Yosida approximations. Finally, the restriction of a hypercyclic...

In this paper we give some sufficient conditions for the adjoint of a weighted composition operator on a Hilbert space of analytic functions to be hypercyclic.

Completeness of a dilation system ${\left(\varphi \left(nx\right)\right)}_{n\ge 1}$ on the standard Lebesgue space $L^2(0,1)$ is considered for 2-periodic functions $\varphi$. We show that the problem is equivalent to an open question on cyclic vectors of the Hardy space $H^2\left({𝔻}_2^{\infty }\right)$ on the Hilbert multidisc ${𝔻}_2^{\infty }$. Several simple sufficient conditions are exhibited, which include however practically all previously known results (Wintner; Kozlov; Neuwirth, Ginsberg, and Newman; Hedenmalm, Lindquist, and Seip). For instance, each of the following conditions implies cyclicity...

In [JKP] and its sequel [FPS] the authors initiated a program whose (announced) goal is to eventually show that no operator in ℒ(ℋ) is orbit-transitive. In [JKP] it is shown, for example, that if T ∈ ℒ(ℋ) and the essential (Calkin) norm of T is equal to its essential spectral radius, then no compact perturbation of T is orbit-transitive, and in [FPS] this result is extended to say that no element of this same class of operators is weakly orbit-transitive. In the present note we show that no compact...

Let $X$ be a Banach space of analytic functions on the open unit disk and $\Gamma$ a subset of linear isometries on $X$. Sufficient conditions are given for non-supercyclicity of $\Gamma$. In particular, we show that the semigroup of linear isometries on the spaces $S^p$ ($p>1$), the little Bloch space, and the group of surjective linear isometries on the big Bloch space are not supercyclic. Also, we observe that the groups of all surjective linear isometries on the Hardy space $H^p$ or the Bergman space $L_a^p$ ($1<p<\infty$, $p\ne 2$) are not supercyclic....

We study the frequency of hypercyclicity of hypercyclic, non–weakly mixing linear operators. In particular, we show that on the space ${\ell }^1\left(\mathbb{N}\right)$, any sublinear frequency can be realized by a non–weakly mixing operator. A weaker but similar result is obtained for $c_0\left(\mathbb{N}\right)$ or ${\ell }^p\left(\mathbb{N}\right)$, $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$. Part of our results is related to some Sidon-type lacunarity properties for sequences of natural numbers.

We prove that on ${ℝ}^N$, there is no n-supercyclic operator with 1 ≤ n < ⌊(N + 1)/2⌋, i.e. if ${ℝ}^N$ has an n-dimensional subspace whose orbit under $T\in \left({ℝ}^N\right)$ is dense in ${ℝ}^N$, then n is greater than ⌊(N + 1)/2⌋. Moreover, this value is optimal. We then consider the case of strongly n-supercyclic operators. An operator $T\in \left({ℝ}^N\right)$ is strongly n-supercyclic if ${ℝ}^N$ has an n-dimensional subspace whose orbit under T is dense in $\mathbb{P}ₙ\left({ℝ}^N\right)$, the nth Grassmannian. We prove that strong n-supercyclicity does not occur non-trivially in finite...
