Abstract

The Drury-Arveson space Hd2H^2_d, also known as symmetric Fock space or the dd-shift space, is a Hilbert function space that has a natural dd-tuple of operators acting on it, which gives it the structure of a Hilbert module. This survey aims to introduce the Drury-Arveson space, to give a panoramic view of the main operator theoretic and function theoretic aspects of this space, and to describe the universal role that it plays in multivariable operator theory and in Pick interpolation theory.

Comments

This is a significantly renewed version of the survey by Shalit that first appeared in 2014, with Hartz as a new co-author. The survey consists of a mildly updated version of the original survey together with an extensive survey incorporating new developments from the years 2014-2025 (to appear in the 2nd Edition of Operator Theory); 61 pages
