We give a new treatment of Quiggin's and McCullough's characterization of complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernels. We show that a kernel has the matrix-valued Nevanlinna-Pick property if and only if it has the vector-valued Nevanlinna-Pick…

In the setting of operators on Hilbert spaces, we prove that every quasinilpotent operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace if and only if every pair of idempotents with a quasinilpotent commutator has a non-trivial common closed…

A contraction $T$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be pure if the sequence $\lbrace T^{*n} \rbrace_{n}$ converges to $0$ in the strong operator topology. In this article, we prove that for contractions $T$, which commute with…

In this study, we partially answer the question left open in Rudin's book "Function theory in polydiscs" on the structure of invariant subspaces of the Hardy space $H^2(U^n)$ on the polydisc $U^n$. We completely describe all invariant…

Maximal and atomic Hardy spaces Hp and HAp , are considered in the setting of a doubling metric measure space in the presence of a non-negative self-adjoint operator whose heat kernel has Gaussian localization and the Markov property. It is…

We characterize the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces whose elements are $p$-integrable functions in terms of the boundedness of the integral operator whose kernel is the reproducing kernel. Moreover, for $p=2$ we show that the spectral…

We show that if a nonscalar operator on a separable Hilbert space has a nontrivial invariant subspace, then it has also a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace. Thus the hyperinvariant subspace problem is equivalent to the invariant subspace…

For $\alpha > 0$ we consider the operator $K_\alpha \colon \ell^2 \to \ell^2$ corresponding to the matrix \[\left(\frac{(nm)^{-\frac{1}{2}+\alpha}}{[\max(n,m)]^{2\alpha}}\right)_{n,m=1}^\infty.\] By interpreting $K_\alpha$ as the inverse of…

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…

A Nevanlinna function is a function which is analytic in the open upper half plane and has a non-negative imaginary part there. In this paper we study a fractional linear transformation for a Nevanlinna function $n$ with a suitable…

The simplest and most natural examples of completely nonunitary contractions on separable complex Hilbert spaces which have polynomial characteristic functions are the nilpotent operators. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the…

It is very elementary to observe that functions interpolating an extremal two-point Pick problem on the polydisc are just left inverses to complex geodesics. In the present article we show that the same property holds for a three-point Pick…

The theory of Nevanlinna-Pick and Carath\'eodory-Fej\'er interpolation for matrix- and operator-valued Schur class functions on the unit disk is now well established. Recent work has produced extensions of the theory to a variety of…

Let $G/H$ be a semisimple symmetric space. Then the space $L^2(G/H)$ can be decomposed into a finite sum of series representations induced from parabolic subgroups of $G$. The most continuous part of the spectrum of $L^2(G/H)$ is the part…

A linear operator $U$ acting boundedly on an infinite-dimensional separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is universal if every linear bounded operator acting on $H$ is similar to a scalar multiple of a restriction of $U$ to one of its…

We prove that the norm of a weighted composition operator on the Hardy space H^2 of the disk is controlled by the norm of the weight function in the de Branges-Rovnyak space associated to the symbol of the composition operator. As a…

This paper discusses the convexity of the range of the Berezin transform. For a bounded operator $T$ acting on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $H$ (on a set $X$), this is the set $B(T) : = \{ < Tk_x, k_x >_H : x \in X \}$, where $k_x$ is…

We prove that the pointwise product of two holomorphic functions of the upper half-plane, one in the Hardy space $\mathcal H^1$, the other one in its dual, belongs to a Hardy type space. Conversely, every holomorphic function in this space…

Let H^1 be the classical Hardy space of analytic functions on the unit disc. We show that this space does not admit any finite rank completely unconditional decomposition of the identity.

For a bounded linear operator $T$ acting on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}(\Omega)$ over some non-empty set $\Omega$, the Berezin range and the Berezin radius of $T$ are defined respectively, by $\text{Ber}(T) := \{\langle…
