Does a typical \ell_p\,-\,space contraction have a non-trivial invariant subspace?

Publication date: 3 December 2020

Abstract: Given a Polish topology

a u

on

{m a t h c a l B}_{1} (X)

, the set of all contraction operators on

X = e l l_{p}

,

1 l e p < i n f t y

or

X = c_{0}

, we prove several results related to the following question: does a typical

T i n {m a t h c a l B}_{1} (X)

in the Baire Category sense has a non-trivial invariant subspace? In other words, is there a dense

G_{d} e l t a

set

m a t h c a l G s u b s e t e q ({m a t h c a l B}_{1} (X), a u)

such that every

T i n m a t h c a l G

has a non-trivial invariant subspace? We mostly focus on the Strong Operator Topology and the Strong

^{*}

Operator Topology.
