Let \(M\) be a paracompact connected topological manifold without boundary, and let \(E\) be a vector bundle of finite rank over \(M\). The author shows that if \(M\) is compact, then for every field of cones \(K\) of \(E\) [\textit{D. I. Papuc}, An. Univ. Timişoara, Ştiinţe Mat. 30, No. 1, 39-58 (1992; Zbl 0823.57016)] there is another field of cones \(K_1\) of \(E\) such that every nonzero element of the cone \(K(x)\) is an interior point of \(K_1(x)\) for every \(x\in M\). Given a field of cones \(K\) of \(E\), a positive linear operator on \(E\) is defined as a continuous vector bundle morphism \(A: E\rightarrow E\) such that \(A(K(x)) \subset K(x)\) for every \(x \in M\). Among other results, the author shows several properties of spectra of such operators.
