We show that several convolution operators on the space of entire functions, such as the MacLane operator, support a dense hypercyclic algebra that is not finitely generated. Birkhoff's operator also has this property on the space of complex-valued smooth functions on the real line.
We provide an alternative proof to those by Shkarin and by Bayart and Matheron that the operator $D$ of complex differentiation supports a hypercyclic algebra on the space of entire functions. In particular we obtain hypercyclic algebras for many convolution operators not induced by polynomials, such as $\mbox{cos}(D)$, $De^D$, or $e^D-aI$, where $0<a\le 1$. In contrast, weighted composition operators on function algebras of analytic functions on a plane domain fail to support supercyclic algebras. Non-trivial translations on the space of complex-valued, smooth functions on the real line do support hypercyclic algebras.
Given a Furstenberg family $\mathscr{F}$ of subsets of $\mathbb{N}$, an operator $T$ on a topological vector space $X$ is called $\mathscr{F}$-transitive provided for each non-empty open subsets $U$, $V$ of $X$ the set $\{n\in \mathbb{Z}_+ : T^n(U)\cap V\neq\emptyset\}$ belongs to $\mathscr{F}$. We classify the topologically transitive operators with a hierarchy of $\mathscr{F}$-transitive subclasses by considering families $\mathscr{F}$ that are determined by various notions of largeness and density in $\mathbb{Z}_+$.
We generalize the notions of hypercyclic operators, $\mathfrak{U}$-frequently hypercyclic operators and frequently hypercyclic operators by introducing a new notion of hypercyclicity, called $\mathcal{A}$-frequent hypercyclicity. We then state an $\mathcal{A}$-Frequent Hypercyclicity Criterion, inspired from the Hypercyclicity Criterion and the Frequent Hypercyclicity Criterion, and we show that this criterion characterizes the $\mathcal{A}$-frequent hypercyclicity for weighted shifts. We finish by investigating which kind of properties of density can have the sets ${N(x, U)=\{n\in \mathbb{N}:T^nx\in U\}}$ for a given hypercyclic operator and study the new notion of reiteratively hypercyclic operators.
We provide criteria for the existence of upper frequently hypercyclic subspaces and for common hypercyclic subspaces, which include the following consequences. There exist frequently hypercyclic operators with upper-frequently hypercyclic subspaces and no frequently hypercyclic subspace. On the space of entire functions, each differentiation operator induced by a non-constant polynomial supports an upper frequently hypercyclic subspace, and the family of its non-zero scalar multiples has a common hypercyclic subspace. A question of Costakis and Sambarino on the existence of a common hypercyclic subspace for a certain uncountable family of weighted shift operators is also answered.
