Strictly cyclic operator algebras on Banach spaces (Q2576564)

Let \(X\) be a complex Banach space and let \(B(X)\) be the set of all bounded linear operators on~\(X\). Recall that a subalgebra \(A\subset B(X)\) is said to be \textit{strictly cyclic} if the orbit of some vector in~\(X\) coincides with~\(X\). It is proved that every norm closed commutative semisimple strictly cyclic algebra in a Banach space is reflexive, which extends a result of \textit{A.~Lambert} [Pac.\ J.\ Math.\ 39, 717--726 (1971; Zbl 0213.40701)] to the case of Banach spaces. The reflexivity of algebras with strictly cyclic and strictly separating vectors and of some generalizations of these algebras was studied in many papers in the 1990s, but this literature is not reflected in the present paper.
