Suppose that T is a bounded operator on a nonzero Banach space X . Given a vector x ∈ X , we say that x is hypercyclic for T if the orbit OrbTx = {T x}n is dense in X . Similarly, x is said to be weakly hypercyclic if OrbTx is weakly dense in X . A bounded operator is called hypercyclic or weakly hypercyclic if it has a hypercyclic or, respectively, a weakly hypercyclic vector. It is shown in [...

We prove that a continuous linear operator T on a topological vector space X with weak topology is mixing if and only if the dual operator T ′ has no finite dimensional invariant subspaces. This result implies the characterization of hypercyclic operators on the space ω due to Herzog and Lemmert and implies the result of Bayart and Matheron, who proved that for any hypercyclic operator T on ω, ...

During the last years the dynamics of linear operators on infinite dimensional spaces has been extensively studied, see the survey articles [3], [6], [7], [8], [9], [11]. Let us recall the notion of hypercyclicity. Let X be a separable Banach space and T : X → X be a bounded linear operator. The operator T is said to be hypercyclic provided there exists a vector x ∈ X such that its orbit under ...
