Common invariant subspaces for \(N\)-tuples of positive operators acting on topological vector spaces (Q730662)

The authors define joint weak quasinilpotency for an \(n\)-tuple of operators on a topological vector space \(X\). This definition is the same as the weak quasinilpotency defined by \textit{Z.\,Ercan} and \textit{S.\,Onal} in [Positivity 8, No.\,2, 123--126 (2004; Zbl 1077.47038)]. (The reviewer believes that a reference should have been given to the paper by Ercan and Onal.) The main result of the present paper is the following: Let \(X\) be a Hausdorff topological vector space with a Markushevich basis \((x_n, f_n)\) and \(T = (T_1, T_2,\dots,T_n)\) be an \(n\)-tuple of nonzero positive operators. If \(T\) is joint weak locally quasinilponent at some \(y_0\), then \({T_1,\dots,T_n}\) have a common nontrivial closed invariant subspace. If \(Q_T\) is the set of vectors \(x\in X \) where \(T = (T_1,\dots,T_n)\) is joint locally quasinilpotent at \(x\) and \(w Q_T\) is the set of vectors \(x\in X\), where \(T = (T_1,\dots,T_n)\) is joint weak locally quasinilpotent at \(x\), then they prove that \(Q_T = w Q_T\). Again, the technique of proof is the same as technique used by Ercan and Onal, who proved the same result for a single operator.
