AbstractProperty $$(UW {\scriptstyle \Pi })$$(UWΠ), introduced in Berkani and Kachad (Bull Korean Math Soc 49:1027–1040, 2015) and studied more recently in Aiena and Kachad (Acta Sci Math (Szeged) 84:555–571, 2018) may be thought as a variant of Browder’s theorem, or Weyl’s theorem, for bounded linear operators acting on Banach spaces. In this article we study the stability of this property under some commuting perturbations, as quasi-nilpotent perturbation and, more in general, under Riesz commuting perturbations. We also study the transmission of property $$(UW {\scriptstyle \Pi })$$(UWΠ) from T to f(T), where f is an analytic function defined on a neighborhood of the spectrum of T. Furthermore, it is shown that this property is transferred from a Drazin invertible operator T to its Drazin inverse S.
