Abstract

We study rank-one perturbations of diagonal Hilbert space operators mainly from the standpoint of invariant subspace problem. In addition to proving some general properties of these operators, we identify the normal operators and contractions in this class. We show that two well known results about the eigenvalues of rank-one perturbations and one-codimension compressions of self-adjoint compact operators are equivalent. Sufficient conditions are given for existence of nontrivial invariant subspaces for this class of operators.
