Mixing convolution operators on spaces of entire functions

Abstract: We show that if $E$ is an arbitrary $(DFN)$-space, then every nontrivial convolution operator on the Fr\'echet nuclear space $\mathcal{H}(E)$ is mixing, in particular hypercyclic. More generally we obtain the same conclusion when $E=F^{\prime}_c,$ where $F$ is a separable Fr\'echet space with the approximation property. On the opposite direction we show that a translation operator on the space $\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{C}^{\mathbb{N}}) $ is never hypercyclic.
