Fourier series criteria for operator decomposability (Q1085415)

Let U be an invertible operator on a Banach space Y. U is said to be trigonometrically well-bounded provided the sequence \(\{U^ n)^{\infty}_{n=-\infty}\) is the Fourier-Stieltjes transform of a suitable projection-valued function E(\(\cdot): [0,2\pi]\to {\mathcal B}(Y)\). This class of operators is known to apply naturally to a variety of classical phenomena which exclude the presence of spectral measures. In the case Y reflexive we use the Cesàro means \(\sigma_ n(U,t)\) of the trigonometric series \(\sum_{k\neq 0}k^{-1}e^{ikt}U^ k\), which formally transfers the discrete Hilbert transform to Y, in order to give three separate necessary and sufficient conditions for U to be trigonometrically well-bounded. One of these conditions is sup \(\{\| \sigma_ n(U,t)\|:\) \(n\geq 1\), \(t\in [0,2\pi]\}<\infty\).
