If $X$ is a separable Banach space and $(epsilon_n)downarrow 0$, can we find a quasinilpotent, non-compact operator on $X$ such that $||T^n||^1/n<epsilon_n$ for all $n$? I suspect the answer is positive, but cannot come up with an example.

    What is wrong with a nilpotent shift on $L^p[0,1]$? For example $(Tf)(x):=f(x+frac12)$ if $x<frac12$ and $(Tf)(x)=0$ elswhere?

    @AndrásBátkai: What is probably a bit more interesting is to find such an operator which is, in addition, not power-compact, and thus in particular not nilpotent. (An example would be the resolvent of a nil-potent vector-valued shift semigroup.)

On the Argyros-Haydon space every operator is a compact perturbation of a scalar multiple of the identity, and hence every quasinilpotent operator is compact.

    Probably not, Fedor. Maybe there is a space with unconditional basis on which every operator is diagonal plus compact. Gowers built a space with unconditional basis on which every operator is diagonal plus strictly singular.
