Property \((\omega)\) and topological uniform descent (Q2258119)

A bounded linear operator \(T\) acting on a Banach space \(X\) satisfies property \((w)\), a variant of Weyl's theorem, provided that the approximate point spectrum of \(T\) is the disjoint union of the Weyl essential approximate point spectrum of \(T\) and the set of all isolated points in the spectrum of \(T\) which are eigenvalues of finite multiplicity [\textit{V. Rakočević}, Mat. Vesn. 37, 423--426 (1985; Zbl 0596.47001)]. The authors use spectra related to the notion of topological uniform descent, introduced in this paper, to give necessary and sufficient conditions for \(T\) to satisfy property \((w)\). As application, they investigate the stability of property \((w)\) under commuting perturbations by power finite rank operators.
