Subdecomposable operators and rationally invariant subspaces (Q4945157)

There is developed a \(2\times 2\) matrix representation for a decomposable operator \(T\) relative to a certain open cover \(\{U_{1},U_{2}\}\) of the spectrum of \(T\). This representation is used to construct new and different proofs of some known important facts concerning decomposable and subdecomposable operators. Rationally invariant subspaces are discussed, and given an operator \(T\) and invariant subspace \(\mathcal M\), there are categorized those complex numbers \(\lambda\) for which \({\mathcal M}\) is invariant for \((T-\lambda I)^{-1}\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0932.00048].
