Analytic bounded point evaluations for rationally cyclic operators on Banach spaces (Q1773042)

\textit{L.~R.\ Williams} [Dyn.\ Syst.\ Appl.\ 3, No.~1, 103--112 (1994; Zbl 0805.47019)] developed the basic theory for analytic bounded point evaluations in the context of cyclic operators on Hilbert spaces and proved, in particular, that all bounded point evaluations outside the approximate point spectrum are necessarily analytic. By a classical result due to \textit{T.~T.\ Trent} [Pac.\ J.\ Math.\ 80, No.~1, 279--292 (1979; Zbl 0405.46043)], the converse holds for every cyclic subnormal operator, but ceases to be true in general. The main goal of the paper under review is to establish the Trent formula for a rationally cyclic operator with Bishop's property (\(\beta\)) on an arbitrary Banach space. In particular, the Trent formula for subnormal operators is extended to the case of subdecomposable operators, based on tools from local spectral theory and the Kato spectrum. Particular emphasis is placed on the connection to localized versions of the single-valued extension property and Bishop's property (\(\beta\)). Several examples are studied, such as hyponormal operators, unilateral and bilateral weighted shifts, and the Cèsaro operator on Bergman space.
