On frequently supercyclic operators and an F_{\Gamma}-hypercyclicity criterior with applications

Abstract

Given a Furstenberg family F and a subset {\Gamma} of C, we introduce and explore the notions of F_{\Gamma}-hypercyclic operator and F-hypercyclic scalar set. First, the study of F_C-hypercyclic operators yields new interesting information about frequently supercyclic, U-frequently supercyclic, reiteratively supercyclic and supercyclic operators. Then we provide a criterion for identifying F_{\Gamma}-hypercyclic operators. As applications of this criterion, we show that any unilateral pseudo-shift operator on c_0(N) or l_p(N) is F_{\Gamma}-hypercyclic for every unbounded subset {\Gamma} of C. Moreover, under the same condition on {\Gamma}, we show that any separable infinite-dimensional Banach space supports an F_{\Gamma}-hypercyclic operator. Finally, our study provides sufficient and necessary conditions for a subset {\Gamma} of C to be a hypercyclic scalar set. These results give partial answers to a question raised by Charpentier, Ernst, and Menet in 2016.
