A new class of frequently hypercyclic operators

We study a hypercyclicity property of linear dynamical systems: a bounded linear operator T acting on a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space X is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector x in X such that {T^{n}x : n>0} is dense in X, and frequently hypercyclic if there exists x in X such that for any non empty open subset U of X, the set {n>0 ; T^n x \in U} has positive lower density. We prove that if T is a bounded operator on X which has "sufficiently many" eigenvectors associated to eigenvalues of modulus 1 in the sense that these eigenvectors are perfectly spanning, then T is automatically frequently hypercyclic.Comment: 22 pages.

An example of a minimal action of the free semi-group \F^{+}_{2} on the Hilbert space

The Invariant Subset Problem on the Hilbert space is to know whether there exists a bounded linear operator $T$ on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$ such that the orbit $\{T^{n}x;\ n\ge 0\}$ of every non-zero vector $x\in H$ under the action of $T$ is dense in $H$. We show that there exists a bounded linear operator $T$ on a complex separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$ and a unitary operator $V$ on $H$, such that the following property holds true: for every non-zero vector $x\in H$, either $x$ or $Vx$ has a dense orbit under the action of $T$. As a consequence, we obtain in particular that there exists a minimal action of the free semi-group with two generators \F^{+}_{2} on a complex separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$.Comment: 10

A general approach to Read's type constructions of operators without non-trivial invariant closed subspaces

We present a general method for constructing operators without non-trivial invariant closed subsets on a large class of non-reflexive Banach spaces. In particular, our approach unifies and generalizes several constructions due to Read of operators without non-trivial invariant subspaces on the spaces $\ell_{1}$, $c_{0}$ or $\oplus_{\ell_{2}}J$, and without non-trivial invariant subsets on $\ell_{1}$. We also investigate how far our methods can be extended to the Hilbertian setting, and construct an operator on a quasireflexive dual Banach space which has no non-trivial $w^{*}$-closed invariant subspace.Comment: Minor modification
