Hypercyclic operators on topological vector spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Bonet, Frerick, Peris and Wengenroth constructed a hypercyclic operator on the locally convex direct sum of countably many copies of the Banach space ell1. We extend this result. In particular, we show that there is a hypercyclic operator on the locally convex direct sum of a sequence XnninN of Fr'echet spaces if and only if each Xn is separable and there are infinitely many ninN for which Xn is infinite dimensional. Moreover, we characterize inductive limits of sequences of separable Banach spaces which support a hypercyclic operator.


This paper is concerned with the study of existence of hypercyclic operators on topological vector spaces. A continuous linear operator \(T\) on a topological vector space \(X\) is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector \(x\in X\) such that the set \(\{T^{n}x : n\in\mathbb{N}\}\) is dense in \(X\). If \((X_{n})_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\) is a sequence of separable Fréchet spaces, the locally convex direct sum \(X=\oplus_{n\in \mathbb{N}}X_{n}\) (i.e., the algebraic direct sum of the spaces \(X_{n}\) equipped with the strongest locally convex topology which induces the original topology on each space \(X_{n}\)) is shown to support a hypercyclic operator if and only if \(X_{n}\) is infinite-dimensional for infinitely many \(n\). This generalizes previous work of \textit{J. Bonet} et al. [``Transitive and hypercyclic operators on locally convex spaces, Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 37, No. 2, 254--264 (2005; Zbl 1150.47005)]. Inductive limits of sequences \((X_{n})_{n\in \mathbb{N}}\) which support a hypercyclic operator are also characterized.
