Invariant subspaces of linear operators (47A15) Algebras of operators on Banach spaces and other topological linear spaces (47L10)

Abstract: Given a Banach space X and a bounded linear operator T on X, a subspace Y of X is almost invariant under T if TY is a subspace of Y+F for some finite-dimensional ``error F. In this paper, we study subspaces that are almost invariant under every operator in an algebra A of operators acting on X. We show that if A is norm closed then the dimensions of ``errors corresponding to operators in A must be uniformly bounded. Also, if A is generated by a finite number of commuting operators and has an almost invariant half-space (that is, a subspace with both infinite dimension and infinite codimension) then A has an invariant half-space.

Review text

Recently, \textit{G. Androulakis, A. I. Popov, A. Tcaciuc} and \textit{V. G. Troitsky} [Integral Equations Oper. Theory 65, 473--484 (2009; Zbl 1206.47008)] have defined the following notion. If \(T\) is a bounded linear operator on a Banach space \(X\), then a norm-closed subspace \(Y\subset X\) is called almost invariant under \(T\) if there exists subspace \(F\subset X\), \(\dim F<\infty\), such that \(TY\subset Y+F\). In the paper under review, almost invariant subspaces of an algebra \(\mathfrak A\) of operators are studied. It is proved that, if \(\mathfrak A\) is norm-closed and \(Y\) is almost invariant under all \(T\in \mathfrak A\), then the dimensions of the corresponding ``defect subspaces \(F\) are uniformly bounded. Moreover, it is proved that, if \(\mathfrak A\) is generated by a finite number of commuting operators and \(\mathfrak A\) has an almost invariant subspace with infinite dimension and infinite codimension, then \(\mathfrak A\) has an invariant subspace.
