Hypercyclicity and supercyclicity of \(m\)-isometric operators (Q421998)

In [Integral Equations Oper. Theory 24, No. 4, 379--421 (1996; Zbl 0871.47012)], \textit{J. Agler} and \textit{M. Stankus} defined that a bounded linear operator \(T\) on a Hilbert space is an \(m\)-isometry if \(\sum_{k=o}^m (-1)^{m-k}\binom{m}{k}T^{*^k}kT^k=0.\) (Clearly, \(T\) is an isometry if \(m=1.\)) Isometries are special cases of hyponormal operators. \textit{P. S. Bourdon} [Mich. Math. J. 44, No. 2, 345--353 (1997; Zbl 0896.47020)] proved that if \(T\) is hyponormal and \(\|T(x)\|\geq \|x\|\) for some vector \(x,\) then \(\{\|T^n(x)\|\}\) is a non decreasing sequence; moreover, he proved that no hyponormal operator can be supercyclic. The present authors [Honam Math. J. 30, No. 1, 115--118 (2008; Zbl 1190.47011)] showed that \(2\)-isometries cannot be supercyclic. In this paper, they generalize such a result to \(m\)-isometries.
