The paper proves, in the Hilbert-space setting, exactly what the problem asks: span(E(T)) = URec(T) = RRecbo(T), plus the equivalence of the eight “existence” statements and the eight “density/measure” statements (Theorem 1.7) . Its proof uses: (i) constructing an invariant probability measure from a reiteratively recurrent bounded-orbit vector (Theorem 2.3, invoked in the proof of Theorem 1.7) ; (ii) a Gaussianization step and support analysis (Lemma 4.4) forcing the support to lie in the span of unimodular eigenvectors ; and (iii) the easy inclusion span(E(T)) ⊂ ∆*Rec ⊂ IP*Rec ⊂ URec ⊂ RRecbo (Proposition 4.1 provides the key Δ*-recurrence of finite linear combinations of unimodular eigenvectors) . The candidate solution reproduces these ingredients: the direct “easy” implications from unimodular eigenvectors; construction of invariant Gaussian measures from eigen-expansions; and then it explicitly invokes the Hilbert-space theorem of Grivaux–López-Martínez for the hard direction and for the equivalences. Where it sketches density implications via Birkhoff from a full-support invariant measure, the paper instead closes the equivalence circle using the set equalities and a standard measure-combination argument to obtain full-support measures (still consistent with the candidate’s approach) . No logical gaps or contradictions were found; the model’s write-up is essentially a streamlined summary of the paper’s proof.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} This work establishes precise equivalences between strengthened recurrence notions and the span of unimodular eigenvectors for operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces. The argument is well organized, draws on modern invariant-measure techniques, and cleanly isolates the role of Hilbert geometry via Gaussian measures. The results consolidate and clarify a slice of linear dynamics; with a few stylistic tweaks and added pointers, the exposition would be excellent.
