A vector \(x\) in a complete, metrizable, topological, vector space \(X\) is said to be cyclic for a continuous, linear operator \(T: X \to X\) if the closed, linear span of the orbit \(\{T^n x : n \geq 0\}\) of \(x\) under \(T\) is all of \(X\). Operators that have a cyclic vector are said to be cyclic. A vector \(x\) is said to be a root vector for \(T\) if there exist \(\lambda\in {\mathbb C}\) and \(n\in N\) such that \((T - \lambda I)^nx = 0\). A continuous, linear operator \(T: X\to X\) on a complete, metrizable, topological, vector space \(X\) is said to admit a spectral synthesis or to be synthetic if every closed invariant subspace \(M\) of \(T\) equals the closed linear span of the root vectors for \(T\) contained in \(M\). Results about polynomials are related to the results about cyclicity and synthesis since the vector space generated by the set \(\{T^nx : x \in X\}\) is equal to the set \(\{p(T) : p \in {\mathbb C}[z]\}\), where \({\mathbb C}[z]\) is the set of polynomials with coefficients in \(\mathbb C\). In the paper under review, the author first recalls some recent results which demonstrate this connection and then he gives two different constructions for sequences of polynomials that satisfy the required properties for certain sequences to be the eigenvalues of a synthetic operator. Along the way he also compares this with other results in the literature connecting the polynomial behavior and analytic continuation of Dirichlet series to the spectral synthesis of diagonal operators.
