Algebraic Direct Sums and Generalized Drazin Invertibility
Abstract
Let T be a bounded linear operator on a complex Banach space X. We prove that the algebraic decomposition X=K(T)⊕ Hq(T) forces both summands to be closed and hence characterizes generalized Drazin invertibility. This improves the classical characterizations of Mbekhta~\resultcite{Theorem~1.6}{MbekhtaKato}, Schmoeger~\resultcite{Theorem~4}{Schmoeger}, and Dajić and Koliha~\resultcite{Theorem~6.7}{DajicKoliha}, by removing their closedness assumptions. We also show that T is generalized Drazin invertible if and only if dim(K(T)∩ Hq(T))<∞ and codim(K(T)+Hq(T))<∞. For ordinary Drazin invertibility, we obtain analogous finite-defect characterizations involving the hyperkernel and the hyperrange. We also give a characterization using pointwise nilpotence on an invariant summand. Finally, we consider arbitrary invariant algebraic decompositions and give a counterexample when the inverse of the restriction to one summand is not assumed bounded.
