On the spectral radius of positive operators.
It is shown that in the Dirichlet space , two invariant subspaces ℳ ₁, ℳ ₂ of the Dirichlet shift are unitarily equivalent only if ℳ ₁ = ℳ ₂.
We study analytic models of operators of class with natural positivity assumptions. In particular, we prove that for an m-hypercontraction on a Hilbert space , there exist Hilbert spaces and ⁎ and a partially isometric multiplier θ ∈ ℳ (H²(),A²ₘ(⁎)) such that and , where A²ₘ(⁎) is the ⁎-valued weighted Bergman space and H²() is the -valued Hardy space over the unit disc . We then proceed to study analytic models for doubly commuting n-tuples of operators and investigate their applications...
