Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the notion of quasi-compact linear operators acting in a Banach space. This class of operators contains the set of compact, polynomially compact, quasi-nilpotent and that of all Riesz operators. We show the equivalence between different definitions of quasi-compactness known in the mathematical literature and we present several general theorems about quasi-compact endomorphisms: stability under algebraic operations, extension of Schauder theorem and the Fredholm alternative. We also study the question of existence of invariant subspaces and we examine the class of semigroups for quasi-compact operators. The obtained results are used to describe Markov chains.
