A note on supercyclic vectors of Hilbert space operators (Q2235939)

The aim of this short note is to prove the following result: Let \(T\) be a bounded linear operator on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space \(H\). If \(x \in H\) is a supercyclic vector for \(T\), then there is a subsequence \((n_k)_k\) of natural numbers such that the closed linear span of \(\{T^{n_k} x \ | \ k \in \mathbb{N} \}\) is not the whole space \(H\).
