Abstract:
An algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space is said to be strongly compact if its unit ball is precompact in the strong operator topology, and a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space is said to be strongly compact if the unital algebra generated by the operator is strongly compact. We show that the position operator on the space of square integrable functions with respect to a finite measure of compact support is strongly compact if and only if the restriction of the measure to the boundary of the polynomially convex hull of its support is purely atomic. This result is applied to construct a strongly compact operator that generates a weakly closed unital algebra that fails to be strongly compact. Also, we construct an operator such that the weakly closed unital algebra generated by the operator is strongly compact but the bicommutant of the operator fails to be a strongly compact algebra. Finally, we prove that a strongly compact operator cannot be strictly cyclic.
