Abstract.
We exhibit a hypercyclic operator whose square is not hypercyclic. Our operator is necessarily unbounded since a result of S. Ansari asserts that powers of a hypercyclic bounded operator are also hypercyclic. We also exhibit an unbounded Hilbert space operator whose non-zero vectors are hypercyclic.
