Reducing subspaces of $C_{00}$ contractions

Functional Analysis 2020-12-14 v1 Complex Variables

Abstract

Using the Sz.-Nagy--Foias theory of contractions, we obtain general results about reducibility for a class of completely nonunitary contractions. These are applied to certain truncated Toeplitz operators, previously considered by Li--Yang--Lu and Gu. In particular, a negative answer is given to a conjecture stated by the latter.
