Dynamics of shift operators on non-metrizable sequence spaces

We investigate dynamical properties such as topological transitivity, (sequential) hypercyclicity, and chaos for backward shift operators associated to a Schauder basis on LF-spaces. As an application, we characterize these dynamical properties for weighted generalized backward shifts on Kothe coechelon sequence spaces $k_p((v^{(m)})_{minmathbb{N}})$ in terms of the defining sequence of weights $(v^{(m)})_{minmathbb{N}}$. We further discuss several examples and show that the annihilation operator from quantum mechanics is mixing, sequentially hypercyclic, chaotic, and topologically ergodic on $mathscr{S}(mathbb{R})$.
