Total and non-total suborbits for hypercyclic operators

Abstract

AbstractIn this note, it is proved that if  X is a separable infinite dimensional Fréchet space that admits a continuous norm then, given a closed infinite dimensional subspace of  X, there exists a hypercyclic operator admitting a dense orbit which in turn admits a suborbit all of whose sub-suborbits are total in the prescribed subspace. This is related to a recently published result asserting that every supercyclic vector for an operator on a Hilbert space supports a non-total suborbit. Here we also extend this result to normed spaces.
