The transitive algebra problem
Corollary 1.2 of the principal manuscript: the commutant of the constructed nonzero quasinilpotent operator is a proper, strongly closed, unital, transitive complex algebra, so it is not strongly dense in . This answers the question negatively on every infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space. It is an immediate consequence of the hyperinvariant counterexample, since the commutant of an operator withou…
