No, the dual operator $T'$ does not have a positive eigenvector, in general. As a counterexample, consider the space $E = c_0(\mathbb{Z})$ if scalar-valued sequences indexed over the integers, endowed …

The answer is no in general (but it's not difficult to check that the answer is yes for injective operators). Counterexample. Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $T_0: H \to H$ a bounded linear operator wi …

I'll use the notion "ordered Banach space" to denote a Banach space $E$ that is ordered by a closed (and convex) cone $E_+$. Generally speaken, having non-empty interior is not a common property of co …

I quasi-nilpotent operator $T \in B(X)$ is nilpotent if and only if $0$ is a pole of its resolvent $(\cdot - T)^{-1}$, which means that there exists a number $M \ge 0$ and an integer $n \ge 1$ such th …

(In the following I assume that the word "invertible" in the question means "bijective".) Your assumptions do not imply that $F$ is bijective (however, they imply that $F$ is injective and has closed …

After Nik Weaver answered the question and Bill Johnson pointed out in a comment that what one needs is actually a part of the usual proof of the open mapping theorem, I thought about it once again, a …

I think it might be worthwhile to mention a few observations in addition to the other answers: For a sequence $(f_n)$ that satisfies $|f_n| \le 1$ for all $n$, convergence in $L^p$ for all $p \in [1,\ …

The answer is yes. Proof. Assume to the contrary that a sequence $(x_n)$ in $\ell^1$ converges, say to $0$, uniformly on convex weakly compact subsets of $c_0$, but is not norm convergent and hence no …

The answer to the question is yes. Proof. Let $y$ be an extreme point of $T[S]$. Then $$ F :=T^{-1}(\{y\}) \cap S $$ is non-empty, compact and a face of $S$. By the Krein-Milman theorem, $F$ has an …

The golden rule for conjectures in operator theory: Every ad-hoc conjecture is most likely false for $2 \times 2$-matrices. :-) So here's a $2 \times 2$-counterexample for the question: Let $A = \math …

In addition to the information given by user bathalf15320, I think that a bit more information on the Banach space case could be useful: Here is a very general theorem about vector valued functions: T …

Part 1 of the answer. In terms of $T$, the property you are looking for is characterized by the mean ergodic theorem: Theorem. Let $E$ be a Banach space and let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on $E …

The answer is "no", in general. An easy counterexample can be found as follows: Let $X = \mathbb{F}$ and let $Y$ be a non-reflexive Banach space. Then $\mathcal{B}(Y^*,X^*)$ is simply the bi-dual $Y^ …

The answer is no, in general. For a counterexample, consider the $\ell^p$-norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$ with $p=4$, and let $x = e_1 = (1,0)$. We first note that the vectors $e_2 = (0,1)$ and $-e_2$ do not …

In addition to Anthony Quas' answer, it might be worthwhile to mention the following general observations. A Banach space $X$ is said to have the Radon-Nikodym property if every Lipschitz mapping $f: …
