Abstract

Suppose VV is the unit disc D\mathbb{D} embedded in the dd-dimensional unit ball Bd\mathbb{B}_d and attached to the unit sphere. Consider the space HV\mathcal{H}_V, the restriction of the Drury-Arveson space to the variety VV, and its multiplier algebra MV=Mult(HV)\mathcal{M}_V = \operatorname{Mult}(\mathcal{H}_V). The isomorphism problem is the following: Is V1V2V_1 \cong V_2 equivalent to MV1MV2\mathcal{M}_{V_1} \cong \mathcal{M}_{V_2}? A theorem of Alpay, Putinar and Vinnikov states that for VV without self-crossings on the boundary MV\mathcal{M}_V is the space of bounded analytic functions on VV. We consider what happens when there are self-crossings on the boundary and prove that if MV1MV2\mathcal{M}_{V_1} \cong \mathcal{M}_{V_2} algebraically, then V1V_1 and V2V_2 must have the same self-crossings up to a unit disc automorphism. We prove that an isomorphism between MV1\mathcal{M}_{V_1} and MV2\mathcal{M}_{V_2} can only be given by a composition with a map from V1V_1 to V2V_2. In the case of a single simple self-crossing we show that there are only two possible candidates for this map and find these candidates. Finally, we provide a continuum of VV's with the same self-crossing pattern such that their multiplier algebras are all mutually non-isomorphic.
