Irreducible semigroups with multiplicative spectral radius (Q5961690): Difference between revisions

The authors study irreducible multiplicative semigroups of finite-dimensional linear operators with some additional properties. They show that each of the properties -- submultiplicativity of the spectral radius, its multiplicativity, or its constancy, as well as a certain property called the Rota condition -- implies that every member of such a semigroup is, except for a scalar coefficient, similar to the direct sum of an isometry and a nilpotent operator.
