On spaceability of shift-like operators on \(L^p\) (Q6155823)

A subset \(M\) of a Banach space \(X\) is called spaceable if \(M \cup \{ 0 \}\) contains a closed subspace of infinite dimension. The authors prove that the set of hypercyclic vectors for shift-like operators, which appear as composition operators on \(L^p(X)\), when the underlying measure space \(X\) is dissipative, is spaceable. Other results of independent interest are shown in the process of proving the main result. For example, a characterization of weakly mixing dissipative composition operators of bounded distortion is given.
