Why should I look at the resolvent formalism and think it is a useful tool for spectral theory?

Preliminary remark. As mentioned in the comments, I find the notion "resolvent formalism", as well as the description in the Wikipedia article, rather misleading - resolvents are not somekind of forma …

Reference request: The resolvent is analytic in the resolvent set

Although András' comment already answers the question, I think it is worthwile to give a few more details explicitely here, in order to point out that the analyticity is in fact a consequence of the r …

The definition of simple eigenvalue

If $\lambda$ has modulus $1$, then both definitions are equivalent for power-bounded operators, i.e., for operators $A$ that satisfy $\sup_{n = 0,1,2,\dots} \|A^n\| < \infty$. Indeed, if $\lvert \lamb …

Operator norm and spectrum

The major point here is that, for an operator $S$ on a Banach space (or Hilbert space) $X$, the number $\sup_{x \in X \setminus\{0\}} \frac{\|Sx\|}{\|x\|}$ is not the spectral radius of $S$ but the op …

Compact operators on Banach spaces and their spectra

The essential spectrum (and even the spectrum) of the generator of a contractive $C_0$-semigroup on an $L^1$-space can be empty even if the generator does not have compact resolvent. Example. Endow $ …

Left and right eigenvectors are not orthogonal

Yes, this is always true if $\lambda \not= 0$. The subsequent theorem shows a more general result. To formulate it, we need the following terminology: For an eigenvector $\lambda$ of a bounded linear …

Spectral representation of closed operators with finite spectral bound

I've looked it up now. The formula in question does indeed hold in the following sense: Theorem. Let $(e^{tA})_{t \in [0,\infty)}$ be a $C_0$-semigroup on a complex Banach space $X$. Let $\omega \in …

Doubt in proof of $\lim_{n \to \infty} [\lambda R(\lambda, A)]^n = P.$

Here are a few details which might be helpful to understand the argument in the paper better: (1) First note that $P$ is also the spectral projection for the spectral value $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ of the …

Perron-Frobenius and Markov chains on countable state space

What you are looking for is actually true for every power-bounded operator, without any appeal to positivity: Theorem. Let $E$ be a Banach space and let $A: E \to E$ be a bounded linear operator such …

When is rank-1 perturbation to a positive operator still positive?

In "On Majorization, Factorization, and Range Inclusion of Operators on Hilbert Space (1966)", R. G. Douglas proved the following result (Theorem 1 in the paper): Theorem. Let $C$ and $D$ be bounded …

Is there an infinite dimensional analogue of the characterisation of irreducible matrices

The characterisation of irreducible matrices as suggested in the question is not correct. The matrix $$ P = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ is a counterexample: it has spectral ra …

Essential spectrum of multiplication operator

In the following answer I'll focus on the case for general $n$. Let $m: [0,1] \to \mathbb{C}^{n \times n}$ be measurable and bounded. Let $a \in \mathcal{L}(L^2([0,1]; \mathbb{C}^n))$ be the multiplic …

General references. The references that you're probably looking for are books on the theory of $C_0$-semigroups. Some classics are: [1] Amnon Pazy: Semigroups of Linear Operators and Applications to P …

Proof of the analytic Fredholm theorem in Borthwick

I'll try to answer with a few general remarks on what a pole is and what a meromorphic function is. Let $U \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ be non-empty and open and let $X$ be a complex Banach space (for instan …

spectrum of multiplicative morphisms

EDIT: I adjusted the answer to the new version of the question. Such an example does not exist. More precisely, for every compact Hausdorff space $K$ and every continuous mapping $T: K \to K$ the ass …
