Abstract
A tuple (T 1,ββ¦β,βT n ) of commuting continuous linear operators on a topological vector space X is called hypercyclic if there is xβββX such that the orbit of x under the action of the semigroup generated by T 1,ββ¦β,βT n is dense in X. This concept was introduced by Feldman, who has raised seven questions on hypercyclic tuples. We answer four of those, which can be dealt with on the level of operators on finite dimensional spaces. In particular, we prove that the minimal cardinality of a hypercyclic tuple of operators on β n (respectively, on β n ) is nβ+β1 (respectively, ), that there are non-diagonalizable tuples of operators on β2 which possess an orbit being neither dense nor nowhere dense and construct a hypercyclic 6-tuple of operators on β3 such that every operator commuting with each member of the tuple is non-cyclic.
