Hyperinvariant subspaces of locally nilpotent linear transformations

Abstract: A subspace

X

of a vector space over a field

K

is hyperinvariant with respect to an endomorphism

f

of

V

if it is invariant for all endomorphisms of

V

that commute with

f

. We assume that

f

is locally nilpotent, that is, every

x i n V

is annihilated by some power of

f

, and that

V

is an infinite direct sum of

f

-cyclic subspaces. In this note we describe the lattice of hyperinvariant subspaces of

V

. We extend results of Fillmore, Herrero and Longstaff (Linear Algebra Appl. 17 (1977), 125--132) to infinite dimensional spaces.
