Weak hypercyclicity criterion for bilateral weighted shifts

Let 1p<1\leq p<\infty, and let TT be the bilateral weighted shift on p(Z)\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}) defined by

T(ej)=wjej1T(e_j)=w_je_{j-1}

for a bounded positive weight sequence (wj)jZ(w_j)_{j\in\mathbb{Z}}. Weak hypercyclicity conjecture. The operator TT is weakly hypercyclic if and only if there exists a sequence (nk)(n_k) of integers such that

sup{wjwj1wjnk+1:k1,jZ}<,\sup\{w_jw_{j-1}\cdots w_{j-n_k+1}:k\geq1,j\in\mathbb{Z}\}<\infty,

and, for every jZj\in\mathbb{Z},

wjwj+1wj+nkas k.w_jw_{j+1}\cdots w_{j+n_k}\longrightarrow\infty\quad\text{as }k\to\infty.

The proposed criterion was motivated by the weak hypercyclicity criterion, but it is false: no bilateral weighted shift satisfies both conditions (1) and (2) of the conjecture.
