It is a long open problem whether the peripheral spectrum $\\sigma_{\\operatorname{per}}(T)$ of $T$ is always cyclic. We consider several growth conditions on $T$, involving its resolvent or its eigenvectors, and show that these conditions provide new sufficient criteria for cyclicity the peripheral spectrum of $T$. Moreover we give an alternative proof of the recent result that every (WS)-bounded operator has cyclic peripheral spectrum. We also consider irreducible operators $T$. If such an operator is Abel bounded, then it is known that every peripheral eigenvalue of $T$ is algebraically simple. We show that the same is true if $T$ only fulfils the weaker condition of being (WS)-bounded.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-23T14:16:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47B65", "47A10", "46B42" ], "keywords": [ "positive operator", "growth rates", "cyclic peripheral spectrum", "complex banach lattice", "long open problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
