This paper presents an account of some recent approaches to the Invariant Subspace Problem. It contains a brief historical account of the problem, and some more detailed discussions of specific topics, namely, universal operators, the Bishop operators, and Read’s Banach space counter-example involving a finitely strictly singular operator.
We discuss boundedness and compactness properties of the embedding , where is the closed linear span of the monomials in and is a finite positive Borel measure on the interval . In particular, we introduce a class of “sublinear” measures and provide a rather complete solution of the embedding problem for the class of quasilacunary sequences . Finally, we show how one can recapture some of Al Alam’s results on boundedness and the essential norm of weighted composition operators from ...
Suppose is the Hardy space of the unit disc in the complex plane, while is an inner function. We give conditions for a sequence of normalized reproducing kernels in the model space to be asymptotically close to an orthonormal sequence. The completeness problem is also investigated.
For an absolutely continuous contraction T on a Hilbert space 𝓗, it is shown that the factorization of various classes of L¹ functions f by vectors x and y in 𝓗, in the sense that ⟨Tⁿx,y⟩ = f̂(-n) for n ≥ 0, implies the existence of invariant subspaces for T, or in some cases for rational functions of T. One of the main tools employed is the operator-valued Poisson kernel. Finally, a link is established between L¹ factorizations and the moment sequences studied in the Atzmon-Godefroy method, from...
The theory of quasimultipliers in Banach algebras is developed in order to provide a mechanism for defining the boundary values of analytic semigroups on a sector in the complex plane. Then, some methods are presented for deriving lower estimates for operators defined in terms of quasinilpotent semigroups using techniques from the theory of complex analysis.
