[Authors] O. I. Reinov [Title] On symmetry of spectra of nuclear operators [AMS Subj-class] 47B10 Operators belonging to operator ideals (nuclear, $p$-summing, in the Schatten-von Neumann classes, etc.) [Abstract] An optimal criterion for the spectra of nuclear operators in some Banach spaces to be central-symmetric is given. In particular, if $X$ is a subspace of a quotient of an $L_p(\mu)$-space, $1/s=1+|1/2-1/p|,$ then the spectrum of any s-nuclear operator $T$ in $X$ is central-symmetric iff the traces of all operators $T, T^3, T^5, ...$ are zero. As a consequence, taking $p=2,$ we get the corresponding theorem obtained by M. I. Zelikin in 2008 for nuclear operators in Hilbert spaces.
