I replace the tag "reference-request" by "c-star-algebras".
Jul 29, 2013 at 9:47 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @YemonChoi : just a remark about your comment <<will change drastically>> : if $T \in B(H)$ is a counter-example of the ISP, and $P$ invertible, then $W^{*}(T) = W^{*}(P^{-1}TP) = B(H)$. So it's invariant under conjugation by invertible (so not at all drastically different...). Now what about $C^{*}(T) $ and $ C^{*}(P^{-1}TP)$ ? always nuclear or exact ?
Jul 29, 2013 at 9:26 comment added Sebastien Palcoux To clarify this, I posted the question: : Is there an operator algebraic reformulation of the invariant subspace problem ?.

Jul 29, 2013 at 5:55 comment added Yemon Choi +1 Taka. I do not understand why SP thinks exact C-star algebras are relevant. Note that conjugating T with some arbitrary invertible will not affect ISP but will change drastically the C-star algebra generated by the and the VN algebra generated by T
Jul 28, 2013 at 23:38 comment added Narutaka OZAWA @Sébastien: first, every C*-algebra has an irreducible representation, and exact C*-algebras with tracial states is a rather restricted class. Second, Voiculescu's counterexamples are for quasidiagonal operators which do not generate exact C*-algebras, and they are not relevant to ISP (in fact they are block diagonal operators).
Jul 28, 2013 at 18:07 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @YemonChoi : "vérifie" seems a better translation. To avoid any confusion, when I say that an operator $T$ checks the ISP, this means that there is a closed, non-trivial, $T$-invariant subspace.
Jul 28, 2013 at 16:37 comment added Yemon Choi "check" = verifie ou safisfait?
Jul 28, 2013 at 15:17 comment added Bill Johnson @Sebastier: Sorry; NTHIS (hyperinvariant).

I add a second remark, and a new link.
Jul 28, 2013 at 14:38 comment added Sebastien Palcoux Thank you @NarutakaOZAWA ! I have replaced "thick-operator" by "banded operator". I have find your book on which section 16.3 and 16.4 is about this question. I have written your answer on MSE, here.

I remove the last question.
Jul 28, 2013 at 10:34 history edited Sebastien Palcoux CC BY-SA 3.0
I replace "weight" by "weighted" and I add "orthonrmal".

A add a remark about Voiculescu counter-examples, and a question.
Jul 28, 2013 at 9:38 history edited Sebastien Palcoux CC BY-SA 3.0
I replace "thick-diagonal" by the standard name "banded operator", and I update the last remark.
Jul 28, 2013 at 8:30 comment added Narutaka OZAWA Here is the answer to the question in Remark. People often call such operators "banded operators." The C*-algebra on $\ell_2({\bf Z})$ generated by the banded operators (aka the uniform Roe algebra of $\bf Z$) is canonically isomorphic as $\ell_\infty({\bf Z})\rtimes {\bf Z}$, which is nuclear and has tracial states (coming from invariant means on $\bf Z$). So, any operator which is unitarily equivalent to a banded operator generates an exact C*-algebra having tracial states, which is not the case in general.
Jul 28, 2013 at 7:41 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @BillJohnson : I don't understand, could you please enlighten me ? The reason of my misunderstanding is the following : a bilateral shift is an operator $T$ in $B(l^{2}(\mathbb{Z}))$ such that $Te_{n} = w_{n}e_{n+1}$, with $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, $(e_{n})_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$ an orthonormal basis and $w_{n} \in \mathbb{C}$. Let $K_{n} = \langle e_{n}, e_{n+1}, e_{n+2}, ... \rangle $, then $\overline{K_{n}}$ is a closed, non-trivial, $T$-invariant subspace, right ? I trust you, so where is my mistake here ?
Jul 27, 2013 at 22:03 comment added Bill Johnson It is not known whether all weighted BILATERAL shifts have NTIS, and all weighted bilateral shifts are thick-diagonal.
Jul 27, 2013 at 21:19 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @JonBannon : thank you for the links containing the standard definition of "quasidiagonal" operators. As I write in my previous comments, the class of operators I defined differs, and I replace the name by thick-diagonal. These papers are about the hyperinvariant subspace problem (HISP). If (HISP) is true, then (ISP) is also true, but I don't know if the converse holds.

I improve the notation and add a remark.
Jul 27, 2013 at 20:29 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @YemonChoi: Now a thick-diagonal operator is not a curiosity, for two reason : firstly, it's a generalization of the weight shift operators, to be more precise, it's a finite sum of finite product of weight shift operators. However, a weight shift operator checks obviously the ISP. Secondly, I don't know yet whether or not every operators are unitary equivalent to thick-diagonal operators (i.e. thick-diagonalizable, see my MSE post).
Jul 27, 2013 at 20:20 comment added Sebastien Palcoux @YemonChoi : the terminology "quasi-diagonalizable" is not standard, and not related to "quasidiagonal". The class of operators I defined is a thick generalization of the diagonal operators, in particular, it contains the shift. Now in section 5 of Jon Bannon's last link, a quasidiagonal operator is a sum of a block-diagonal and a compact operator, but the shift is not of this form. To avoid confusion, I will replace the name by "thick-diagonal".
Jul 27, 2013 at 18:25 comment added Jon Bannon Regarding my last comment, the appropriate notion of "quasidiagonal" is discussed in section 5 of unf.edu/~shamid/Paper%202.pdf
Jul 27, 2013 at 18:22 comment added Jon Bannon You are probably aware of this already, and I haven't checked anything at all here, but recently it has been established that the hyperinvariant subspace problem admits a reduction to a class of quasidiagonal operators: sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022123604001211
Jul 27, 2013 at 18:14 comment added Yemon Choi I think your question would be improved if you gave some justification, other than curiosity, for why you hope this restricted class of operators could suffice to test the ISP
Jul 27, 2013 at 18:11 comment added Yemon Choi Is the terminology "quasi-diagonalizable" standard? and is it related to the standard terminology "quasidiagonal"?
