Introducing the technique of subharmonic functions, we prove that the local spectrum Sp uW (T) is almost constant if u is an analytic family of vectors and if the spectrum of T is thin, a result which is similar to the finite-dimensional situation. We apply this result to improve a former result of C. Foias
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
