Mixing operators on spaces with weak topology

Abstract

We prove that a continuous linear operator $T$ on a topological vector space $X$ with weak topology is mixing if and only if the dual operator $T'$ has no finite dimensional invariant subspaces. This result implies the characterization of hypercyclic operators on the space $\omega$ due to Herzog and Lemmert and implies the result of Bayart and Matheron, who proved that for any hypercyclic operator $T$ on $\omega$, $T\oplus T$ is also hypercyclic.
