Common properties of bounded linear operators AC and BA: Spectral theory

Abstract: Let

X, Y

be Banach spaces,

A : X l o n g r i g h t a r r o w Y

and

B, C : Y l o n g r i g h t a r r o w X

be bounded linear operators satisfying operator equation

A B A = A C A

. Recently, as extensions of Jacobson's lemma, Corach, Duggal and Harte studied common properties of

A C - I

and

B A - I

in algebraic viewpoint and also obtained some topological analogues. In this note, we continue to investigate common properties of

A C

and

B A

from the viewpoint of spectral theory. In particular, we give an affirmative answer to one question posed by Corach et al. by proving that

A C - I

has closed range if and only if

B A - I

has closed range.
