Separating vectors for operators
HTML articles powered by AMS MathViewer
Abstract:
It is an open problem whether every one-dimensional extension of a triangular operator admits a separating vector. We prove that the answer is positive for many triangular Hilbert space operators, and in particular, for strictly triangular operators. This is revealing, because two-dimensional extensions of such operators can fail to have separating vectors.References
