Quasi-reflexive Fréchet spaces and contractively power bounded operators (Q623436): Difference between revisions

The motivation for the research of the paper under review comes from a recent result by \textit{V. P. Fonf, M. Lin} and \textit{P. Wojtaszczyk} [Isr. J. Math. 179, 479--491 (2010; Zbl 1216.46011)] who have constructed quasi-reflexive Banach spaces \(X\) of order one (i.e., \(X\) has codimension one in its bidual \(X''\)) such that all the contractions on the space \(X\) and all the contractions on the dual space \(X'\) are mean ergodic, thus solving an open problem by Sucheston from 1976. A continuous operator \(T\) on \(X\) is called mean ergodic if the arithmetic means of the iterates of \(T\) converge to a projection for the strong operator topology. The author presents in this article extensions of this result for Fréchet spaces. It is a continuation of the papers by \textit{A. A. Albanese, W. J. Ricker} and the reviewer [Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Math. 34, No. 2, 401--436 (2009; Zbl 1194.47012)] and by the author [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 361, No. 1, 224--233 (2010; Zbl 1190.46003)] about power bounded and mean ergodic operators on Fréchet spaces. He introduces the class of contractively power bounded operators on a locally convex space \(X\) with respect to a family of subsets of \(X\) as a natural extension of contractions on Banach spaces, and he constructs separable quasi-reflexive Fréchet spaces of order one such that all contractive power bounded operators on \(X\) and on \(X'\) are mean ergodic.
