The Invariant Subspace Problem


Joel H. Shapiro

 

Lecture Notes, April 2014
 
Abstract: These are notes for some lectures I gave in the Portland State University Analysis Seminar during the winter and spring terms of 2013-2014. They focus on Lomonosov's blockbuster 1972 paper on hyperinvariant subspaces for compact operators (and even for nonscalar operators that commute with a compact), and include some discussion of the Transitive Algebra Problem.
