Spectra on different spaces
This is a method request: I am looking for techniques that allow me to investigate problems like this:
Let $T_1: \ell^1 \rightarrow \ell^1$ be a bounded operator with $\Re(\sigma(T_1)) \subset (-\...

Is the spectrum of a "self adjoint" operator real on $\ell^p$?
There might be an obvious answer to the question, but it doesn't come to mind.
Suppose we have an infinite matrix $A=(a_{ij})$, which defines a bounded linear operator on $\ell^p$, i.e. for all ...

Perturbations of an operator that disconnect the spectrum
The following question came to me while working on a technical matter about transversality in infinite dimension, and I'm really curious to know whether it has an affirmative answer at least under ...

Why is spectral theory developed for $\mathbb C$
Spectral theory is a fundamental part of operator theory and the spectrum of many operators is investigated throughout the existing literature. And that is for a good reason: If $A$ is some closed ...

Non-empty resolvent set, then operator closed?
On Hilbert spaces, the following is true:
Let $T$ be a densely-defined linear operator with non-empty resolvent set, then $T$ is closed.
The obvious proof I see to show this uses explicitly the ...

Reference request: The resolvent is analytic in the resolvent set
I am busy reading through Taylor's paper Spectral Theory of Closed Distributive Operators.
On page 192, he defines the resolvent and spectrum of $T$:
Later on in the paragraph, he then proceeds by ...

Eigenvalues and spectrum of the adjoint
In a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, the eigenvalues of the adjoint $A^*$ of an operator $A$ are the complex conjugates of the eigenvalues of $A$.
But in infinite dimensions this need no longer be ...

quasi-nilpotent part of a dual operator
Definitions and notation.
Let $X$ be a complex Banach space and $T\in\mathcal{L}(X)$ a continuous linear operator on $X$. We define the quasi-nilpotent part of $T$ as
\begin{equation*}H_0(T):=\left\{...

Spectrum invariant under (generalised) transpose as operator on trace class operators
For matrices $A$ it is well known that the spectrum is invariant under transpose $\sigma(A^T) = \sigma(A)$. Furthermore, the spectrum of the adjoint matrix $\sigma(A^*) = \overline{ \sigma(A)}$ the ...

Regarding significance of spectral variation under algebraic operations
I have been reading the paper Determining elements in $C^∗$-algebras through spectral properties.
The paper discusses about what would be the relation be between two elements $a$ and $b$ of a Banach ...
