We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an n-hypercontraction to be similar to the backward shift operator in a weighted Bergman space. This characterization serves as a generalization of the description given in the Hardy space…

We show that the same similarity characterization obtained for Cowen-Douglas operators to the backward shift operators on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with analytic kernels can be used to describe similarity in the Dirichlet space…

We give an example of an operator that satisfies the curvature condition as defined in [2], but is not similar to the backward shift S* on the Hardy class H^2. We conclude therefore that the contraction assumption in the similarity…

When the backward shift operator on a weighted space $H^2_w=\{f=\sum_{j=0} ^{\infty} a_jz^j : \sum_{j=0}^{\infty} |a_j|^2w_j < \infty\}$ is an $n$-hypercontraction, we prove that the weights must satisfy the inequality $$\frac{w_{j+1}}{w_j}…

The objective of this article is to study nearly invariant subspaces of the backward shift operator on the real Hardy space. We also investigate nearly invariant subspaces with finite defect, and as a consequence, provide a characterization…

In the classical Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb{D})$, it is well-known that the kernel of the Hankel operator is invariant under the action of shift operator S and sometimes nearly invariant under the action of backward shift operator $S^{*}$. It…

This paper obtains new characterizations of weighted Hardy spaces and certain weighted $BMO$ type spaces via the boundedness of variation operators associated with approximate identities and their commutators, respectively.

Let $\mathbb H$ be the finite direct sums of $H^2(\mathbb D)$. In this paper, we give a characterization of the closed subspaces of $\mathbb H$ which are invariant under the shift, thus obtaining a concrete Beurling-type theorem for the…

This article describes Hilbert spaces contractively contained in certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of analytic functions on the open unit disc which are nearly invariant under division by an inner function. We extend Hitt's theorem…

It is well known that subspaces of the Hardy space over the unit disk which are invariant under the backward shift occur as the image of an observability operator associated with a discrete-time linear system with stable state-dynamics, as…

An operator $T$ acting on a separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is said to be hypercyclic if there exists $f\in H$ such that the orbit $\{T^n f:\ n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is dense in $H$. Godefroy and Shapiro \cite{GoSha} characterized those…

In this paper we consider compressions of $k^{th}$--order slant Toeplitz operators to the backward shift invariant subspaces of the classical Hardy space $H^2$. In particular, we characterize these operators using compressed shifts and…

We represent closed subspaces of the Hardy space that are invariant under finite-rank perturbations of the backward shift. We apply this to classify almost invariant subspaces of the backward shift and represent a more refined version of…

This paper discusses the two classical Hardy operators $\mathcal{H}_{1}$ on $L^2(0, 1)$ and $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ on $L^2(0, \infty)$ initially studied by Brown, Halmos and Shields. Particular emphasis is given to the construction of…

A complete characterization of nearly-invariant subspaces of finite defect for the backward shift operator acting on the Hardy space is provided in the spirit of Hitt and Sarason's theorem. As a corollary we describe the almost-invariant…

We investigate the Hardy space $H^1_L$ associated with a self-adjoint operator $L$ defined in a general setting in [S. Hofmann, et. al., Hardy spaces associated to non-negative self-adjoint operators satisfying Davies-Gaffney estimates,…

We build on a characterization of inner functions $f$ due to Le, in terms of the spectral properties of the operator $V=M_f^*M_f$ and study to what extent the cyclicity on weighted Hardy spaces $H^2_\omega$ of the function $z \mapsto a-z$…

The Hardy space H^2(R) for the upper half plane together with a unimodular function group representation u(\lambda) = \exp(i(\lambda_1\psi_1 + ... + \lambda_n\psi_n)) for \lambda in R^n, gives rise to a manifold M of orthogonal projections…

For $b\in H^\infty_1$, the closed unit ball of $H^\infty$, the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(b)$ is a Hilbert space contractively contained in the Hardy space $H^2$ that is invariant by the backward shift operator $S^*$. We…

This paper is a follow-up contribution to our work [20] where we discussed some invariant subspace results for contractions on Hilbert spaces. Here we extend the results of [20] to the context of n-tuples of bounded linear operators on…
