On simultaneous triangularization of commutants

From MaRDI portal





A set \(\mathcal A\) of linear operators on a Banach space \(X\) is called triangularizable if there exists a maximal nest of \(\mathcal A\)-invariant subspaces. A closed subspace \(Y\subset X\) is \(\mathcal A\)-hyperinvariant if it is \(\mathcal A\)-invariant and invariant under the commutant of \(\mathcal A\). The main result of the paper (Theorem 5) states that on an infinite-dimensional Banach space, every nonzero triangularizable family of compact operators has a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace. There is also a finite-dimensional version available. The present paper is based on Lomonosov's lemma [cf. \textit{H. Radjavi} and \textit{P. Rosenthal}, Invariant subspaces, Springer Verlag, Berlin (1973; Zbl 0269.47003)] and a result of \textit{Yu. V. Turovskii} [J. Funct. Anal. 162, 313--322 (1999; Zbl 0921.47008)] and provides a new proof of a theorem of \textit{V. S. Shul'man} [Funct. Anal. Appl. 18, 160--161 (1984); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 18, No. 2, 85--86 (1984; Zbl 0577.47007)].
