The Exact $\varepsilon$-Hypercyclicity Threshold
Geivison Ribeiro
TL;DR
This work solves Bayart's question by explicitly constructing a weighted shift T on the Hilbertian direct sum Z of copies of ℓ^2 that exhibits an exact ε-hypercyclicity threshold: T is δ-hypercyclic precisely for all δ in [ε,1). The construction hinges on a careful block-decomposition of finite-dimensional subspaces, a finite-approximation scheme via sets S_k, and a programmable sequence of weights A_n that yields simultaneous visiting properties while controlling growth. A dual argument shows that δ<ε cannot be achieved, establishing sharpness of the threshold. The result presents a first example of an operator with a sharp, problem-specific transition value for ε-hypercyclicity and opens directions for analogous thresholds in other notions and spaces.
Abstract
In this paper we give an affirmative answer to the problem proposed by Bayart in [J. Math. Anal. Appl. \textbf{529} (2024), 127278]: given $\varepsilon\in(0,1)$, there exists an operator which is $δ$-hypercyclic if and only if $δ\in[\varepsilon,1)$?
