Israel Gohberg ILAS-IWOTA Lecture

The Israel Gohberg ILAS-IWOTA Lecture was introduced in August 2016 and honors the legacy of Israel Gohberg, whose research crossed borders between operator theory, linear algebra, and related fields. This lecture is in collaboration with the International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS). Donations for the Israel Gohberg ILAS-IWOTA Lecture Fund come from individuals and corporations. Most notably, Springer/Birkhäuser Verlag has been a supporter of IWOTA since 1983 with its proceedings in the series Operator Theory: Advances and Applications (OTAA). Springer/Birkhäuser Verlag is also a major contributor to the Israel Gohberg ILAS-IWOTA Lecture Fund. Donations are always welcome via the ILAS website: ilasic.org.

Emmanuel Fricain, Dynamical properties of Toeplitz operators

In this talk, I will review some recent results concerning the hypercyclicity of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space. An operator T is said to be hypercyclic if there exists a vector x whose orbit under T is dense. Motivated by results of Shkarin and Abakoumov–Baranov–Charpentier–Lishanskii, we investigate the case of Toeplitz operators with smooth symbols. Using a beautiful model developed by Yakubovich and the Godefroy–Shapiro criterion, we obtain, in some cases, a complete characterization. This is a joint work with S. Grivaux and M. Ostermann.
