On the Cyclicity Conjecture

Abstract

We prove that the peripheral spectrum of every positive operator on a complex Banach lattice is cyclic, thereby resolving the cyclicity conjecture without additional growth assumptions. Our proof is based on a spectral domination theorem derived from Vesentini's theorem on the subharmonicity of the spectral radius: when two positive operators have the same spectral radius and one dominates the other, the peripheral spectrum of the smaller operator is contained in that of the larger one. This extends an earlier result of Räbiger and Wolff. After passing to a suitable lattice extension, an averaging procedure based on torsion operators produces a decreasing sequence of positive minorants which retain the spectral radius and become asymptotically rotationally self-similar. An ultrapower argument turns this asymptotic relation into exact rotational self-similarity, allowing us to deduce cyclicity from spectral domination. The same approach also yields an alternative proof of Lotz's cyclicity theorem for Abel solvable operators.
