Localizable spectrum and bounded local resolvent functions

Abstract.

Given a Banach space operator with interior points in the localizable spectrum and without non-trivial divisible subspaces, this article centers around the construction of an infinite-dimensional linear subspace of vectors at which the local resolvent function of the operator is bounded and even admits a continuous extension to the closure of its natural domain. As a consequence, it is shown that, for any measure with natural spectrum on a locally compact abelian group, the corresponding operator of convolution on the group algebra admits a non-zero bounded local resolvent function precisely when its spectrum has non-empty interior.
