On existence of hyperinvariant subspaces for quasinilpotent operators with a nonsymmetry in the growth of the resolvent

Abstract

Let $T$ be a quasinilpotent operator on a Banach space. Under assumptions of a certain nonsymmetry in the growth of the resolvent of $T$, it is proved that every operator in the commutant of $T$ is not unicellular. In particular, $T$ has nontrivial hyperinvariant subspaces. The proof is based on a modification of the reasoning of [S].
