$sigma_p(f(A))=f(sigma_p(A))$?












1












$begingroup$


Let $A$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space, $f$ be a complex polynomial and $sigma_p(A)$ be the point spectrum of $A$ (the set of $lambda$ for which $ker(A-lambda I)neq 0$). I am trying to find a counter example for




$sigma_p(f(A))=f(sigma_p(A))$.




I tried for $A$ the left and right shift operators on $l^2(N)$ with $f=x+1$, and it seems that $sigma_p(f(A))$ and $sigma_p(A)$ are both empty...



Is this correct? If so, how do I more cleverly approach this problem of finding a counter example?

          Let $f$ be a constant polynomial. Then $f(A) = c I$ for some scalar $c$, so $sigma_p(f(A)) = {c}$. But
          $sigma_p(A)$ might be empty.



          But these are the only counterexamples.



          If $lambda in sigma_p(A)$, there is nonzero $v in H$ such that
          $A v = lambda v$, and then $f(A) v = f(lambda) v$, so $p(lambda) in sigma_p(f(A))$. Thus $f(sigma_p(A)) subseteq sigma_p(f(A))$.



          On the other hand, suppose $lambda in sigma_p(f(A))$.
          Thus there is nonzero $v in H$ such that $f(A) v = lambda v$.
          If $f$ has degree $d > 0$, the polynomial $f(z) - lambda$ can be factored over the complex numbers as
          $$f(z) - lambda = prod_{j=1}^d (z - alpha_j)$$
          so that
          $$ 0 = (f(A) - lambda) v = prod_{j=1}^d (A - alpha_j I) v $$
          For some $k$, $1 le k le d$, we must have $prod_{j=k}^d (A - alpha_j I)v = 0$ but $prod_{j=k+1}^d (A - alpha_j I) v ne 0$, i.e. with $w = prod_{j=k+1}^d (A - alpha_j I) v$ (which is just $v$ in the case $k=d$) we have $wne 0$ and
          $(A - alpha_k I) w = 0$, so $alpha_k in sigma_p(A)$, and
          $f(alpha_k) = lambda$. So $sigma_p(f(A)) subseteq f(sigma_p(A))$.
