Title (HTML): Invariant Subspaces of the Shift Operator

Abstract:

This volume contains the proceedings of the CRM Workshop on Invariant Subspaces of the Shift Operator, held August 26–30, 2013, at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Quebec, Canada.

The main theme of this volume is the invariant subspaces of the shift operator (or its adjoint) on certain function spaces, in particular, the Hardy space, Dirichlet space, and de Branges–Rovnyak spaces.

These spaces, and the action of the shift operator on them, have turned out to be a precious tool in various questions in analysis such as function theory (Bieberbach conjecture, rigid functions, Schwarz–Pick inequalities), operator theory (invariant subspace problem, composition operator), and systems and control theory.

Of particular interest is the Dirichlet space, which is one of the classical Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disk. From many points of view, the Dirichlet space is an interesting and challenging example of a function space. Though much is known about it, several important open problems remain, most notably the characterization of its zero sets and of its shift-invariant subspaces.

Title (HTML): The Cauchy Transform
Author(s) (Product display): Joseph A. Cima; Alec L. Matheson; William T. Ross
Affiliation(s) (HTML):
Abstract:

The Cauchy transform of a measure on the circle is a subject of both classical and current interest with a sizable literature. This book is a thorough, well-documented, and readable survey of this literature and includes full proofs of the main results of the subject. This book also covers more recent perturbation theory as covered by Clark, Poltoratski, and Aleksandrov and contains an in-depth treatment of Clark measures.

Title (HTML): Generalized Analytic Continuation
Author(s) (Product display): William T. Ross; Harold S. Shapiro
Affiliation(s) (HTML): University of Richmond, Richmond, VA; Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
Abstract:

The theory of generalized analytic continuation studies continuations of meromorphic functions in situations where traditional theory says there is a natural boundary. This broader theory touches on a remarkable array of topics in classical analysis, as described in the book. This book addresses the following questions: (1) When can we say, in some reasonable way, that component functions of a meromorphic function on a disconnected domain, are “continuations” of each other? (2) What role do such “continuations” play in certain aspects of approximation theory and operator theory? The authors use the strong analogy with the summability of divergent series to motivate the subject. In this vein, for instance, theorems can be described as being “Abelian” or “Tauberian”. The introductory overview carefully explains the history and context of the theory.

The authors begin with a review of the works of Poincaré, Borel, Wolff, Walsh, and Gončar, on continuation properties of “Borel series” and other meromorphic functions that are limits of rapidly convergent sequences of rational functions. They then move on to the work of Tumarkin, who looked at the continuation properties of functions in the classical Hardy space of the disk in terms of the concept of “pseudocontinuation”. Tumarkin's work was seen in a different light by Douglas, Shapiro, and Shields in their discovery of a characterization of the cyclic vectors for the backward shift operator on the Hardy space. The authors cover this important concept of “pseudocontinuation” quite thoroughly since it appears in many areas of analysis. They also add a new and previously unpublished method of “continuation” to the list, based on formal multiplication of trigonometric series, which can be used to examine the backward shift operator on many spaces of analytic functions. The book attempts to unify the various types of “continuations” and suggests some interesting open questions.

Title (HTML): The Backward Shift on the Hardy Space
Author(s) (Product display): Joseph A. Cima; William T. Ross
Affiliation(s) (HTML): University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC; University of Richmond, Richmond, VA
Abstract:

Shift operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions play an important role in the study of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces since they often serve as models for various classes of linear operators. For example, “parts” of direct sums of the backward shift operator on the classical Hardy space $$H^2$$ model certain types of contraction operators and potentially have connections to understanding the invariant subspaces of a general linear operator.

This book is a thorough treatment of the characterization of the backward shift invariant subspaces of the well-known Hardy spaces $$H^{p}$$. The characterization of the backward shift invariant subspaces of $$H^{p}$$ for $$1 < p < \infty$$ was done in a 1970 paper of R. Douglas, H. S. Shapiro, and A. Shields, and the case $$0 < p \le 1$$ was done in a 1979 paper of A. B. Aleksandrov which is not well known in the West. This material is pulled together in this single volume and includes all the necessary background material needed to understand (especially for the $$0 < p < 1$$ case) the proofs of these results.

Several proofs of the Douglas-Shapiro-Shields result are provided so readers can get acquainted with different operator theory and theory techniques: applications of these proofs are also provided for understanding the backward shift operator on various other spaces of analytic functions. The results are thoroughly examined. Other features of the volume include a description of applications to the spectral properties of the backward shift operator and a treatment of some general real-variable techniques that are not taught in standard graduate seminars. The book includes references to works by Duren, Garnett, and Stein for proofs and a bibliography for further exploration in the areas of operator theory and functional analysis.
