Commutants of certain multiplication operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions
This paper characterizes the commutant of certain multiplication operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions. Let be the operator of multiplication by z on the underlying Hilbert space. We give sufficient conditions for an operator essentially commuting with A and commuting with for some n>1 to be the operator of multiplication by an analytic symbol. This extends a result of Shields and Wallen.
