Sep 26, 2022 at 16:13 comment added Yonah Borns-Weil In fairness, the Volterra operator can be unsettling at first, because it's very easy to implicitly assume that every compact operator has eigenvalues (in particular, that's true for self-adjoint operators and for finite-rank operators, for different reasons.)
Sep 26, 2022 at 14:21 comment added Christian Remling In other words, $n=1$ works, since $\lambda\notin\sigma(T)$, so $R(T-\lambda)=L^2$, $N(T-\lambda)=0$.
Sep 26, 2022 at 8:20 comment added Jochen Glueck I agree with @YonahBorns-Weil's comment, and I'd add that even the entire spectrum of $T$ consists of $0$ only.
Sep 26, 2022 at 3:51 comment added Yonah Borns-Weil I am a bit puzzled by this question. $T$ has no point spectrum away from $0$, so Isn't the kernel of $(T-\lambda)^n$ always just the zero function?
