Abstract
Let D be the differentiation operator Df = f′ acting on the Fréchet space H of all entire functions in one variable with the standard (compact-open) topology. It is known since the 1950’s that the set H(D) of hypercyclic vectors for the operator D is non-empty. We treat two questions raised by Aron, Conejero, Peris and Seoane-Sepúlveda whether the set H(D) contains (up to the zero function) a non-trivial subalgebra of H or an infinite-dimensional closed linear subspace of H. In the present article both questions are answered affirmatively.
