From this characterization it follows that $V$ does not determine the topology of $C[0,1]$, which answers a question raised by Armando Villena. A sufficient condition for an injective bounded linear operator on a Banach space to determine its topology is obtained. From this condition it follows, for instance, that the Volterra operator acting on the Hardy space $\\H^p$ of the unit disk determines the topology of $\\H^p$ for any $p\\in[1,\\infty]$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-09-07T08:37:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B03", "46H40" ], "keywords": [ "quasinilpotent operators", "similarity", "volterra operator", "unit disk determines", "separable banach spaces algebraically similar" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
