Kato S-spectrum in the quaternionic setting

Abstract

In a right quaternionic Hilbert space, for a bounded right linear operator, the Kato S-spectrum is introduced and studied to a certain extent. In particular, it is shown that the Kato S-spectrum is a non-empty compact subset of the S-spectrum and it contains the boundary of the S-spectrum. Using right-slice regular functions, local S-spectrum, at a point of a right quaternionic Hilbert space, and the local spectral subsets are introduced and studied. The S-surjectivity spectrum and its connections to the Kato S-spectrum, approximate S-point spectrum and local S-spectrum are investigated. The generalized Kato S-spectrum is introduced and it is shown that the generalized Kato S-spectrum is a compact subset of the S-spectrum.
