Infinite-dimensional operator invariant-subspace conjecture
Infinite-dimensional operator invariant-subspace conjecture
Let . For a complex Hilbert space , let denote the bounded operators on , and let . Infinite-dimensional operator conjecture. The following are equivalent: (i) for every complex Hilbert space and every tuple , every joint invariant subspace of is invariant under ; (ii) belongs to the unital -algebra generated by . The finite-dimensional version does not hold in the general non-homogeneous case for , so this conjecture asks whether allowing evaluations on infinite-dimensional bounded operators restores the equivalence.
