Tensor product of left polaroid operators

TL;DR

This paper investigates how the left polaroid property of operators on Banach and Hilbert spaces is preserved under tensor products and related operators, identifying specific conditions for this transfer.

Contribution

It establishes the conditions under which the left polaroid and finitely left polaroid properties are preserved in tensor products and multiplication operators.

Findings

Left polaroid property transfers to tensor products of operators.

Finitely left polaroid property transfer depends on spectral conditions.

Results apply to both Banach and Hilbert space operators.

Abstract

A Banach space operator $T\in B(X)$ is left polaroid if for each $\lambda\in\hbox{iso}\sigma_a(T)$ there is an integer $d(\lambda)$ such that asc $(T-\lambda)=d(\lambda)<\infty$ and $(T-\lambda)^{d(\lambda)+1}X$ is closed; $T$ is finitely left polaroid if asc $(T-\lambda)<\infty$, $(T-\lambda)X$ is closed and $\dim(T-\lambda)^{-1}(0)<\infty$ at each $\lambda\in\hbox{iso }\sigma_a(T)$. The left polaroid property transfers from $A$ and $B$ to their tensor product $A\otimes B$, hence also from $A$ and $B^*$ to the left-right multiplication operator $\tau_{AB}$, for Hilbert space operators; an additional condition is required for Banach space operators. The finitely left polaroid property transfers from $A$ and $B$ to their tensor product $A\otimes B$ if and only if $0\not\in\hbox{iso}\sigma_a(A\otimes B)$; a similar result holds for $\tau_{AB}$ for finitely left polaroid $A$ and $B^*$.
