Abstract

Let T be a bounded rationally multicyclic operator on some separable Banach space X, B(T) be the set of its bounded point evaluations and B a (T) be the set of its analytic bounded point evaluations. J. B. Conway asked if the interior of B(T) and B a (T) coincide for arbitrary subnormal operators on Hilbert spaces. Here, we are interested in Conway’s problem. We provide an example that answers negatively Conway’s question in the more general setting of operators satisfying Bishop’s property \({(\beta)}\), and we show that \({B_a(T) {\setminus} \Lambda = {\rm int}(B(T)){\setminus} \Lambda }\), with different subsets Λ in \({\sigma}\)(T).
