Suppose H is a complex Hilbert space and T is an element of L(H) is a bound
ed operator. For each closed set F subset of C let H-T (F) denote the corre
sponding spectral manifold. Let sigma (loc)(T) denote the set of all points
lambda is an element of sigma (T) with the property that H-T ((V) over bar
) not equal = 0 for any open neighborhood V of lambda. In this paper we sho
w that if sigma (loc)(T) is dominating in some bounded open set, then T has
a nontrivial invariant subspace. As a corollary, every Hilbert space opera
tor which is a quasiaffine transform of a subdecomposable operator with lar
ge spectrum has a nontrivial invariant subspace.
