The imaginary part of the Cesàro operator in \(l^ p\) spaces (Q811661)

We prove that the matrix kernel determining the imaginary part of the Cesàro operator in \(\ell^ 2\) determines such bounded operators in \(\ell^ p\) \((1<\rho<\infty)\) that the spectra for \(\rho\neq 2\) are not contained in \(R\). This implies that these operators have bad spectral decomposition properties, though the operator in \(\ell^ 2\) is selfadjoint.
