Abstract:
It has been conjectured that a certain operator $T$ belonging to the group $\mathcal {G}$ of invertible elements of the algebra $\operatorname {Alg} {\mathbf {Z}}$ of doubly infinite upper-triangular bounded matrices lies outside the connected component of the identity in $\mathcal {G}$. In this note we show that $T$ actually lies inside the connected component of the identity of $\mathcal {G}$.References
