On the equivalence of the Dunford property \((C)\) for linear operators \(RS\) and \(SR\) (Q2906219)

It is known that operators \(RS\) and \(SR\), where \(S\) and \(R\) are bounded linear operators between Banach spaces, share many spectral and local spectral properties. It is proved in this paper that one among these properties is Dunford's property \((C)\) if both operators \(R\) and \(S\) are injective or surjective.NEWLINENEWLINE Recall that an operator \(T\) on a complex Banach space \(X\) is said to have Dunford's property \((C)\) if every glocal spectral subspace \(X_{T}(F)\), corresponding to a closed subset \(F\subseteq {\mathbb C}\), is closed.NEWLINENEWLINE It is also shown that, if any one of the operators \(R\), \(S\), \(RS\), and \(SR\) has Dunford's property \((C)\), then all four operators have this property, provided that \(R\) and \(S\) are injective and satisfy the operator equations \(RSR=R^2\) and \(SRS=S^2\).
