The Commutant of an Abstract Backward Shift
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
A bounded linear operator $T$ on a Banach space $X$ is an abstract backward shift if the nullspace of $T$ is one dimensional, and the union of the null spaces of ${{T}^{k}}$ for all $k\,\ge \,1$ is dense in $X$. In this paper it is shown that the commutant of an abstract backward shift is an integral domain. This result is used to derive properties of operators in the commutant.
