Disjoint supercyclic weighted shifts (Q300821)

Let \(T_1, \dots, T_N\) be \(N\) continuous linear operators acting on the same topological vector space \(X\). They are said to be disjoint hypercyclic (respectively, disjoint supercyclic) or \(d\)-hypercyclic (respectively, \(d\)-supercyclic) if there exists a vector \(x\) in \(X\) such that the vector \((x,\dots, x)\) is a hypercyclic vector (respectively, supercyclic vector) for the direct sum operator \(T_1\oplus\dots \oplus T_N\) on the product space \(\oplus_{i=1}^N X\). Any such a vector \(x\) is called a \(d\)-hypercyclic vector (respectively, \(d\)-supercyclic vector) for the operators \(T_1,\dots, T_N\). If the \(d\)-hypercyclic vectors (respectively, \(d\)-supercyclic vectors) form a dense set in \(X\), the operators \(T_1,\dots , T_N\) are said to be densely \(d\)-hypercyclic (respectively, densely \(d\)-supercyclic). In the paper under review, complementing the existing literature in \(d\)-hypercyclicity, the authors characterize disjoint supercyclicity for a finite family of weighted shift operators. Using this characterization, they answer a question posed in a recent paper by \textit{J. Bès} et al. [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 381, No. 2, 843--856 (2011; Zbl 1235.47012)] in the negative by constructing examples of disjoint supercyclic weighted shifts whose direct sum operator is hypercyclic, but the same shifts operators fail to be disjoint hypercyclic. They also show the Disjoint Blow-Up/Collapse Property and the Strong Disjoint Blow-Up/Collapse Property for disjoint supercyclicity are equivalent in the shifts setting. Moreover, they show that \(d\)-supercyclic weighted shifts never satisfy the \(d\)-Supercyclicity Criterion. Finally, they provide a partial answer to the disjoint supercyclic version of a question posed in a recent paper by \textit{H. N. Salas} [J. Funct. Spaces Appl. 2013, Article ID 146517, 6 p. (2013; Zbl 1446.47003)] by showing that it is always possible to select an additional operator to add to a family of \(d\)-supercyclic weighted shift operators while maintaining the \(d\)-supercyclicity.
