The notation T|A with a half upward arrow refers to a specific type of restriction of a linear operator T in the context of Banach spaces. The upward arrow indicates an ascent of the operator, defined as the minimum p in natural numbers where the kernel of T^p equals the kernel of T^(p+1). This notation suggests that the mapping retains certain properties, including invertibility. Understanding this notation is crucial for discussing the behavior of continuous linear mappings in functional analysis. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity in operator notation and its implications in mathematical contexts.

I encountered notation that I don't know. It's like T|A where T is a mapping, and A is a set (little like a restriction), but the | is an arrow pointing upwards and the left hook is missing like with an arrow of a weak convergence.

Anyone knowing what that means? Or a keyword that I could put in google (I cannot put that half arrow there)

What is the context?
 
Operators. T:X->X is a continuous linear mapping in a Banach space, and an ascent of the operator is defined

<br /> \textrm{ascent}(T) := \textrm{min}\;\{p\in\mathbb{N}\;|\; \textrm{ker}(T^p)=\textrm{ker}(T^{p+1})\}<br />

The p is then assumed to be the ascent, and the notation

<br /> T\upharpoonright T^p(X)<br />

is used. This notation means some kind of mapping, because it is said to be invertible.
