Weak limit semigroup in operator theory and ergodic theory
Tanja Eisner, Valentin Gillet
Abstract
We study the weak limit semigroup of an operator $T$, i.e., the set of all operators being weak limit points of the powers of $T$, in three different but related contexts: Koopman operators of measure-preserving transformations, contractions/isometries/unitaries on separable Hilbert spaces and positive operators on $L^p$-spaces. Hereby we focus on finding large subsets of the weak limit semigroup, in particular in the generic case.
