On the reflexivity of the kernel of an elementary operator
The notion of a reflexive linear space of operators is closely
related with the invariant subspace problem for complex Banach
spaces. There are several generalizations of this notion. One of
them is \(k\)-reflexivity, where \(k\) is an arbitrary positive
integer. One can show that a linear space of operators is
\(k\)-reflexive if and only if it is an intersection of kernels of
a set of elementary operators of length at most \(k\). Thus, it is
natural to ask when is the kernel of a given elementary operator
\(k\)-reflexive. We will present some results related to this
question.
