Analyticity, rank one perturbations and the invariance of the left spectrum (2202.06433v1)

Abstract: We address the question of the analyticity of a rank one perturbation of an analytic operator. If $\mathscr M_z$ is the bounded operator of multiplication by $z$ on a functional Hilbert space $\mathscr H_\kappa$ and $f \in \mathscr H$ with $f(0)=0,$ then $\mathscr M_z + f \otimes 1$ is always analytic. If $f(0) \neq 0,$ then the analyticity of $\mathscr M_z + f \otimes 1$ is characterized in terms of the membership to $\mathscr H_\kappa$ of the formal power series obtained by multiplying $f(z)$ by $\frac{1}{f(0)-z}.$ As an application, we discuss the problem of the invariance of the left spectrum under rank one perturbation. In particular, we show that the left spectrum $\sigma_l(T + f \otimes g)$ of the rank one perturbation $T + f \otimes g,$ $\,g \in \ker(T^*),$ of a cyclic analytic left invertible bounded linear operator $T$ coincides with the left spectrum of $T$ except the point $\inp{f}{g}.$ In general, the point $\inp{f}{g}$ may or may not belong to $\sigma_l(T + f \otimes g).$ However, if it belongs to $\sigma_l(T + f \otimes g) \backslash {0},$ then it is a simple eigenvalue of $T + f \otimes g.$
