Let X be a closed subspace of $L^p\left(\mu \right)$, where μ is an arbitrary measure and 1 < p < ∞. Let U be an invertible operator on X such that $su{p}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}\left|\right|Uⁿ\left|\right|<\infty$. Motivated by applications in ergodic theory, we obtain (optimal) conditions for the convergence of series like ${\sum }_{n\ge 1}\left(Uⁿf\right)/n^{1-\alpha }$, 0 ≤ α < 1, in terms of $\left|\right|f+\cdots +U^{n-1}f{\left|\right|}_p$, generalizing results for unitary (or normal) operators in L²(μ). The proofs make use of the spectral integration initiated by Berkson and Gillespie and, more particularly, of results from a paper by Berkson-Bourgain-Gillespie....

We show that there are linear operators on Hilbert space that have n-dimensional subspaces with dense orbit, but no (n-1)-dimensional subspaces with dense orbit. This leads to a new class of operators, called the n-supercyclic operators. We show that many cohyponormal operators are n-supercyclic. Furthermore, we prove that for an n-supercyclic operator, there are n circles centered at the origin such that every component of the spectrum must intersect one of these circles.
