Invariant subspaces of weakly compact-friendly operators

We prove that if a non-zero weakly compact-friendly operator B on a Banach lattice with topologically full center is locally quasi-nilpotent, then the super right-commutant [B\rangle of B has a non-trivial closed invariant ideal. An example of a weakly compact-friendly operator which is not compact-friendly is also provided.

  • Set S := RA2RA1R≥ 0. Since |π3π2π1x| ≤ S|x| for each x ∈ E , it follows that S = 0. Moreover, since each πi(i = 1, 2, 3) is dominated by a compact operator, we have by [2, Theorem 5.14] that π3π2π1is compact. Moreover, because R , A1, and A2belong to [B , so does S . Thus, [B contains a non-zero positive operator which dominates a compact operator. Now, invoke Theorem 2.2 to complete the proof. Abramovich, Y.A., Aliprantis, C.D.: An Invitation to Operator Theory.
