We study the local spectral properties of both unilateral and bilateral weighted shift operators.

Dans ce travail nous donnons plusieurs caractérisations, en termes spectraux, d'opérateurs de Riesz dont le coeur analytique est fermé. Notamment, nous montrons que pour un opérateur de Riesz T, le coeur analytique est fermé si et seulement si sa dimension est finie si et seulement si zéro est isolé dans le spectre de T si et seulement si T = Q + F avec QF = FQ = 0, F de rang fini et Q quasinilpotent. Ce dernier résultat montre qu'un opérateur de Riesz dont le coeur analytique est fermé admet la...

Let $M_z$ be the operator of multiplication by z on a Banach space of functions analytic on a plane domain G. We say that $M_z$ is polynomially bounded if $\parallel M_p\parallel \le C\parallel p{\parallel }_G$ for every polynomial p. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $M_z$ to be polynomially bounded. We also characterize the finite-codimensional invariant subspaces and derive some spectral properties of the multiplication operator in case the underlying space is Hilbert.

An operator-valued multi-variable Poisson type integral is studied. In Section 2 we obtain a new equivalent condition for the existence of a so-called regular unitary dilation of an n-tuple T=(T₁,...,Tₙ) of commuting contractions. Our development in Section 2 also contains a new proof of the classical dilation result of S. Brehmer, B. Sz.-Nagy and I. Halperin. In Section 3 we turn to the boundary behavior of this operator-valued Poisson integral. The results obtained in this section improve upon...

The paper studies spectral sets of elements of Banach algebras as the zeros of holomorphic functions and describes them in terms of existence of idempotents. A new decomposition theorem characterizing spectral sets is obtained for bounded linear operators.

Let ${\left\{\beta \left(n\right)\right\}}_{n=0}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of positive numbers and $1\le p<\infty$. We consider the space $H^p\left(\beta \right)$ of all power series $f\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }\widehat{f}\left(n\right)z^n$ such that ${\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }{\left|\widehat{f}\left(n\right)\right|}^p\beta {\left(n\right)}^p<\infty$. We investigate strict cyclicity of $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$, the weakly closed algebra generated by the operator of multiplication by $z$ acting on $H^p\left(\beta \right)$, and determine the maximal ideal space, the dual space and the reflexivity of the algebra $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$. We also give a necessary condition for a composition operator to be bounded on $H^p\left(\beta \right)$ when $H_p^{\infty }\left(\beta \right)$ is strictly cyclic.

A study is made of a symmetric functional calculus for a system of bounded linear operators acting on a Banach space. Finite real linear combinations of the operators have real spectra, but the operators do not necessarily commute with each other. Analytic functions of the operators are formed by using functions taking their values in a Clifford algebra.

Let ${\beta \left(n\right)}_{n=0}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of positive numbers and 1 ≤ p < ∞. We consider the space ${\ell }^p\left(\beta \right)$ of all power series $f\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }f̂\left(n\right)zⁿ$ such that ${\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }{\left|f̂\left(n\right)\right|}^p{\left|\beta \left(n\right)\right|}^p<\infty$. We give some sufficient conditions for the multiplication operator, $M_z$, to be unicellular on the Banach space ${\ell }^p\left(\beta \right)$. This generalizes the main results obtained by Lu Fang [1].
