Measurable choice and the invariant subspace problem

Measurable Choice and the Invariant Subspace Problem

In [1], J. Dyer, A. Pedersen and P. Porcelli announced that an affirmative answer to the invariant subspace problem would imply that every reductive operator is normal. Their argument, outlined in [1], provides a striking application of direct integral theory. Moreover, this method leads to a general decomposition theory for reductive algebras which in turn illuminates the close relationship be...

The Invariant Subspace Problem

Notes for my lectures in the PSU Analysis Seminar during the winter and spring terms 2013-14, with special emphasis on the 1972 results of Victor Lomonosov.

The Invariant Subspace Problem

The notion of an invariant subspace is fundamental to the subject of operator theory. Given a linear operator T on a Banach space X, a closed subspace M of X is said to be a non-trivial invariant subspace for T if T (M) ⊆M and M 6= {0}, X. This generalizes the idea of eigenspaces of n×n matrices. A famous unsolved problem, called the “invariant subspace problem,” asks whether every bounded line...

The Invariant Subspace Problem

Heeft elke begrensde lineaire operator, werkend op een Hilbert ruimte, een niet-triviale invariante deelruimte? Het antwoord is positief voor zowel eindig-dimensionale ruimtes als voor niet-separabele ruimtes. Het onopgeloste probleem voor het geval daar tussenin, dus voor separabele Hilbert ruimtes staat bekend als het invariante deelruimte probleem. Professor B.S. Yadav van de Indian Society ...
