چکیده
Approximately fifty percent of Weyl’s theorem fails to transfer from Hilbert space operators to their tensor product. As a biproduct we find that the product of circles in the complex plane is a limaçon. 0. Introduction To say that “Weyl’s theorem holds”, for a bounded operator T ∈ B(X) on a Banach space X , is to assert [2],[4],[5] that 0.1 σ(T ) \ ωess(T ) = π 00 (T ) ≡ iso σ(T )∩π 0 (T ) : the complement in the spectrum of the Weyl spectrum coincides with the isolated eigenvalues of finite multiplicity. One half of this is the assertion that “Browder’s theorem holds” for T ∈ B(X), which is to say [2],[4],[5] that 0.2 ωess(T ) = βess(T ) the Weyl and the Browder spectrum coincide. We would like to apologize for this somewhat anachronistic terminology, which over the years has been allowed to solidify. In this note we offer an example of two operators A,B ∈ B(X), each of which satisfies (0.2), and indeed (0.1), whose tensor product A ⊗ B ∈ B(X) ⊗ B(X) ⊆ B(X ⊗X) does not. We remark that these operators are constructed from rather simple building blocks, as are the resulting spectra. For the record we recall that the Fredholm, Weyl and Browder essential spectrum σess(T ), ωess(T ) and βess(T ) collect complex numbers λ for which T − λI fails to be, respectively, Fredholm, Weyl or Browder; an operator is Fredholm if it has finite dimensional null space and closed range of finite codimension, is Weyl if in addition these two finite dimensions are equal, and is Browder if in addition it has finite ascent and descent [2],[3],[4]. We are writing π(T ) for the eigenvalues of T ∈ B(X), π 0 (T ) for the eigenvalues of finite (geometric) multiplicity and π 00 (T ) for those which are also isolated in the spetrum σ(T ).

Conformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds
In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...
متن کاملA remark on asymptotic enumeration of highest weights in tensor powers of a representation
We consider the semigroup $S$ of highest weights appearing in tensor powers $V^{otimes k}$ of a finite dimensional representation $V$ of a connected reductive group. We describe the cone generated by $S$ as the cone over the weight polytope of $V$ intersected with the positive Weyl chamber. From this we get a description for the asymptotic of the number of highest weights appearing in $V^{otime...
متن کاملExhaustive Ghost Solutions to Einstein-Weyl Equations for Two Dimensional Spacetimes
Exhaustive ghost solutions to Einstein-Weyl equations for two dimensional spacetimes are obtained, where the ghost neutrinos propagate in the background spacetime, but do not influence the background spacetime due to the vanishing stress-energy-momentum tensor for the ghost neutrinos. Especially, those non-trivial ghost solutions provide a counterexample to the traditional claim that the Einste...
متن کامل4 F eb 1 99 9 Weyl structures with positive Ricci tensor
We prove the vanishing of the first Betti number on compact manifolds admitting a Weyl structure whose Ricci tensor satisfies certain positivity condition. Thus we obtain a generalization of the vanishing theorem of Bochner, which has a particularly simple form in dimension 4. As a corollary we obtain that if the canonical Weyl structure on a compact Hermitian surface is non-exact, the symmetri...
متن کاملSergio Console and Carlos Olmos
A direct, bundle-theoretic method for defining and extending local isometries out of curvature data is developed. As a by-product, conceptual direct proofs of a classical result of Singer and a recent result of the authors are derived. A classical result of I. M. Singer [7] states that a Riemannian manifold is locally homogeneous if and only if its Riemannian curvature tensor together with its ...
