The specification property for composition operators

It is known that the operator specification property does not coincide, in general, with other notions of chaos in linear dynamics. In this paper, we show that, for a natural and widely studied class of linear operators, namely the dissipative composition operators of bounded distortion (including the class of weighted shifts), specification-type properties do not introduce new dynamical behaviors: they coincide with classical notions of chaos. We also extend these equivalences with conditions on periodic points and examine in detail the special case of the translation operator $T_α$ acting on $L^p(\mathbb R,\mathcal B,μ)$, where the measure $μ$ is induced by a density function. Moreover, we show that, in general, there is no relationship between the operator specification property and the shadowing property in the linear context. Finally, we analyse the important role played by the bounded distortion hypothesis.

$\mathbb R$- and $\mathbb C$-supercyclicity for some classes of operators

In the present paper we investigate different variants of supercyclicity, precisely $\mathbb R^+$-, $\mathbb R$- and $\mathbb C$-supercyclicity in the context of composition operators. We characterize $\mathbb R$-supercyclic composition operators on $L^p$, $1 \leq p < \infty$. Then, we turn our attention to dissipative composition operators, and we show that $\mathbb R$- and $\mathbb C$-supercyclicity are equivalent notions in this setting and they have a ``shift-like'' characterization.

On spaceability of shifts-like operators on $L^p$

We prove the spaceability of the set of hypercyclic vectors for {\em shifts-like operators}. Shift-like operators appear naturally as composition operators on $L^p(X)$, when the underlying space $X$ is dissipative. In the process of proving the main theorem, we provide, among other results of independent interest, a characterization of weakly mixing dissipative composition operators of bounded distortion.

On the spectrum of weighted shifts

It is well-known that, in Linear Dynamics, the most studied class of linear operators is certainly that of weighted shifts, on the separable Banach spaces $c_0$ and $\ell^p$, $1 \leq p< \infty$. Over the last decades, the intensive study of such operators has produced an incredible number of versatile, deep and beautiful results, applicable in various areas of Mathematics and the relationships between various important notions, especially concerning chaos and hyperbolic properties, and the spectrum of weighted shifts are investigated. In this paper, we investigate the point spectrum of weighted shifts and, under some regularity hypotheses on the weight sequence, we deduce the spectrum.

Shift-like Operators on $L^p(X)$

In this article we develop a general technique which takes a known characterization of a property for weighted backward shifts and lifts it up to a characterization of that property for a large class of operators on $L^p(X)$. We call these operators ``shift-like''. The properties of interest include chaotic properties such as Li-Yorke chaos, hypercyclicity, frequent hypercyclicity as well as properties related to hyperbolic dynamics such as shadowing, expansivity and generalized hyperbolicity. Shift-like operators appear naturally as composition operators on $L^p(X)$ when the underlying space is a dissipative measure system. In the process of proving the main theorem, we provide some results concerning when a property is shared by a linear dynamical system and its factors.

Expansivity and strong structural stability for composition operators on $L^p$ spaces

In this note we investigate the two notions of expansivity and strong structural stability for composition operators on $L^p$ spaces, $1 \leq p < \infty$. Necessary and sufficient conditions for such operators to be expansive are provided, both in the general and the dissipative case. We also show that, in the dissipative setting, the shadowing property implies the strong structural stability and we prove that these two notions are equivalent under the extra hypothesis of positive expansivity.

Generalized Hyperbolicity and Shadowing in $L^p$ spaces

It is rather well-known that hyperbolic operators have the shadowing property. In the setting of finite dimensional Banach spaces, having the shadowing property is equivalent to being hyperbolic. In 2018, Bernardes et al. constructed an operator with the shadowing property which is not hyperbolic, settling an open question. In the process, they introduced a class of operators which has come to be known as generalized hyperbolic operators. This class of operators seems to be an important bridge between hyperbolicity and the shadowing property. In this article, we show that for a large natural class of operators on $L^p(X)$ the notion of generalized hyperbolicity and the shadowing property coincide. We do this by giving sufficient and necessary conditions for a certain class of operators to have the shadowing property. We also introduce computational tools which allow construction of operators with and without the shadowing property. Utilizing these tools, we show how some natural probability distributions, such as the Laplace distribution and the Cauchy distribution, lead to operators with and without the shadowing property on $L^p(X)$.

On some generic small Cantor spaces

Let $X = [0,1]^{n}$, $n \geq1$. We show that the typical (in the sense of Baire category) compact subset of $X$ is not only a zero dimensional Cantor space but it satisfies the property of being strongly microscopic, which is stronger than being of dimension zero.
