The single-valued extension property for bilateral operator weighted shifts (Q4825640)

An operator \(T\) on a complex Banach space \(X\) is said to have the single-valued extension property if for every open set \(U\) of complex numbers the equation \((T-\lambda)\phi(\lambda)=0\;(\lambda \in U)\) has no non-null analytic solution \(\phi:U\to X\). The main result of the paper under review states that the bilateral operator weighted shift on \(\ell^p({\mathcal H},{\mathbb Z})\) (\(1\leq p\leq\infty\); \({\mathcal H}\) is a given Hilbert space) with weights \((A_n)_{n\in{\mathbb Z}}\) has the single-valued extension property if and only if \[ \liminf_{n\to -\infty}\| A_n^{-1}\dots A_{-2}^{-1}A_{-1}^{-1}h\| ^{1/n}\leq\limsup_{n\to \infty}\| A_{n-1}\dots A_1A_0h\| ^{1/n} \] for all nonzero \(h\) in \({\mathcal H}\). In the case that \({\mathcal H}\) is finite-dimensional, a similar characterization was obtained by \textit{J.-X. Li} [Northeast Math. J. 10, 99--103 (1994; Zbl 0813.47031)].
