Wandering subspaces and quasi-wandering subspaces in the Bergman space.
The analytic-spectral structure of the commutant of a weighted shift operator defined on a lp space (1 ≤ p < ∞) is studied. The cases unilateral, bilateral and quasinilpotent are treated. We apply the results to study certain questions related to unicellularity, strictly cyclicity and the existence of hyperinvariant subspaces.
Let (T1,…,TN) be an N-tuple of commuting contractions on a separable, complex, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space ℋ. We obtain the existence of a commuting N-tuple (V1,…,VN) of contractions on a superspace K of ℋ such that each extends , j=1,…,N, and the N-tuple (V1,…,VN) has a decomposition similar to the Wold-von Neumann decomposition for coisometries (although the need not be coisometries). As an application, we obtain a new proof of a result of Słociński (see [9])
