Compressions of Resolvents and Maximal Radius of Regularity
Abstract
Description
Suppose that $λ- T$ is left-invertible in $L(H)$ for all $λ\in Ω$, where $Ω$ is an open subset of the complex plane. Then an operator-valued function $L(λ)$ is a left resolvent of $T$ in $Ω$ if and only if $T$ has an extension $\tilde{T}$, the resolvent of which is a dilation of $L(λ)$ of a particular form. Generalized resolvents exist on every open set $U$, with $\bar{U}$ included in the regular domain of $T$. This implies a formula for the maximal radius of regularity of $T$ in terms of the spectral radius of its generalized inverses. A solution to an open problem raised by J. Zemánek is obtained.
