A note on the spectral mapping theorem
We introduce a notion of analytic generator for groups of unbounded operators, on Banach modules, arising from Esterle’s quasimultiplier theory. Characterizations of analytic generators are given in terms of the existence of certain functional calculi. This extends recent results about C₀ groups of bounded operators. The theory is applicable to sectorial operators, representations of , and integrated groups.
It is shown that if A is a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space, then , where w(A) and ||A|| are the numerical radius and the usual operator norm of A, respectively. An application of this inequality is given to obtain a new estimate for the numerical radius of the Frobenius companion matrix. Bounds for the zeros of polynomials are also given.
A spectral radius inequality is given. An application of this inequality to prove a numerical radius inequality that involves the generalized Aluthge transform is also provided. Our results improve earlier results by Kittaneh and Yamazaki.
A characterization of compactness of a given self-adjoint bounded operator A on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is established in terms of the spectrum of perturbations. An example is presented to show that without separability, the perturbation condition, which is always necessary, is not sufficient. For non-separable spaces, another condition on the self-adjoint operator A, which is necessary and sufficient for the perturbation, is given.
An approach to a local analysis of solutions of a perturbation problem is proposed when the unperturbed operator has affine symmetries. The main result is a local theorem on existence, uniqueness, and analytic dependence on a parameter.
For a bounded operator T on a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space X, we give a "random" criterion not involving ergodic theory which implies that T is frequently hypercyclic: there exists a vector x such that for every non-empty open subset U of X, the set of integers n such that Tⁿx belongs to U, has positive lower density. This gives a connection between two different methods for obtaining the frequent hypercyclicity of operators.
