\(n\)-weakly hypercyclic and \(n\)-weakly supercyclic operators (Q1760158)

The author provides a thorough development of the theory of \(n\)-weakly hypercyclic and \(n\)-weakly supercyclic operators on locally convex topological spaces, thus continuing his research begun in [Rev. R. Acad. Cienc. Exactas Fís. Nat., Ser. A Mat., RACSAM 105, No. 2, 433--448 (2011; Zbl 1268.47008)]. Several criteria for constructing operators of that type are presented. In particular, it is shown that, for every \(n\in \mathbb N\), there exist Hilbert space operators that are \(n\)-weakly hypercyclic but not \(n+1\)-weakly hypercyclic. Conditions are given for the direct sum of operators to be \(n\)-weakly (super/hyper)-cyclic. Special classes of operators (as, e.g., pure subnormal operators, absolutely continuous unitary operators, bilateral weighted shifts, etc.) are checked upon having one of these properties above. A list of twenty open questions completes this interesting paper.
