Abstract: A strictly increasing sequence (n_k) of positive integers is said to be a Hilbertian Jamison sequence if for any bounded operator T on a separable Hilbert space such that the supremum over k of the norms ||T^{n_k}|| is finite, the set of eigenvalues of modulus 1 of T is at most countable. We first give a complete characterization of such sequences. We then turn to the study of rigidity sequences (n_k) for weakly mixing dynamical systems on measure spaces, and give various conditions, some of which are closely related to the Jamison condition, for a sequence to be a rigidity sequence. We obtain on our way a complete characterization of topological rigidity and uniform rigidity sequences for linear dynamical systems, and we construct in this framework examples of dynamical systems which are both weakly mixing in the measure-theoretic sense and uniformly rigid.

Review text

This paper is divided into two parts. In the first one, Hilbertian Jamison sequences are studied. We recall that a strictly increasing sequence \((n_k)_{k\geq 0}\) of positive integers is said to be a \textit{Jamison sequence} if, for any separable Banach space \(X\) and any bounded operator \(T\) on \(X\) such that \(\sup_{k\geq 0}||T^{n_k}||<\infty\), the set of eigenvalues of modulus 1 of \(T\) is at most countable. These sequences were completely characterized by \textit{C. Badea} and \textit{S. Grivaux} in [J. Funct. Anal. 246, No. 2, 302--329 (2007; Zbl 1126.47001)]: A Jamison sequence with \(n_0=1\) can be characterized by the existence of a positive real number \(\varepsilon\) such that, for every \(\lambda\in\mathbb{T}\setminus\{1\}\), we have that \(\sup_{k\geq 0}|\lambda^{n_k}-1|\geq \varepsilon\). Replacing Banach by Hilbert spaces, we can define \textit{Hilbertian Jamison sequences}. Both definitions are shown to be equivalent, which is a quite surprising fact. Given a non Jamison sequence, it is shown that it can neither be a Hilbertian Jamison one by constructing a perturbation of a diagonal operator with unimodular coefficients by a weighted backward shift on \(\ell_2\), which is partially power bounded and with uncountably many unimodular eigenvalues. In the second part of this work, the authors study rigidity sequences. Recall that a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers \((n_k)_{k\geq 0}\) is a \textit{rigidity sequence} if there exists a standard Lebesgue probability space \((X,\mathcal{F},\mu)\) and a measure-preserving transformation \(\varphi\) of \((X,\mathcal{F},\mu)\) which is weakly mixing and rigid with respect to \((n_k)_{k\geq 0}\). Such a sequence is characterized by the existence of a continuous probability measure \(\sigma\) on the unit circle \(\mathbb{T}\) such that \[ \int_{\mathbb{T}}|\lambda^{n_k}-1|\,d\sigma(\lambda)\rightarrow 0 \text{ as } k\rightarrow \infty. \] The authors provide several conditions in order to verify whether \((n_k)_{k\geq 0}\) is a rigidity sequence or not. Part of these results have been proved independently by \textit{V. Bergelson}, \textit{A. del Junco}, \textit{M. Lemańczyk} and \textit{J. Rosenblatt} [``Rigidity and non-recurrence along sequences. Preprint (2011), \url{arXiv:1103.0905}]. Finally, they obtain a complete characterization of topological rigidity and uniform rigidity sequences for linear dynamical systems. They also construct examples of linear dynamical systems which are both weakly mixing in the measure-theoretic sense and uniformly rigid. Such examples let them obtain chaotic operators which are not topologically mixing, see also [\textit{C. Badea} and \textit{S. Grivaux}, Adv. Math. 211, No. 2, 766--793 (2007; Zbl 1123.47006)] for the first examples of this type.
