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…
It is known that (i) a subspace ${\mathcal N}$ of the Hardy space $H^2$ which is invariant under the backward shift operator can be represented as the range of the observability operator of a conservative discrete-time linear system, (ii)…
In this note we study sub-Hardy Hilbert spaces on which the the action of the operator of multiplication by the coordinate function z is assumed to be weaker than that of an isometry. We identify such operators with a class of weighted…
Let $S_{E}$ be the shift operator on vector-valued Hardy space $H_{E}^{2}.$ Beurling-Lax-Halmos Theorem identifies the invariant subspaces of $S_{E}$ and hence also the invariant subspaces of the backward shift $S_{E}^{\ast}.$ In this…
Using the tools of Sz.-Nagy--Foias theory of contractions, we describe in detail the invariant subspaces of the operator $ S\oplus S^* $, where $ S $ is the unilateral shift on a Hilbert space. This answers a question of C\^amara and Ross.
The behavior of certain weighted Hardy-type operators on rearrangement-invariant function spaces is thoroughly studied with emphasis being put on the optimality of the obtained results. First, the optimal rearrangement-invariant function…
In the authors' first paper, Beurling-Rudin-Korenbljum type characterization of the closed ideals in a certain algebra of holomorphic functions was used to describe the lattice of invariant subspaces of the shift plus a complex Volterra…

One can view contraction operators given by a canonical model of Sz.-Nagy and Foias as being defined by a quotient module where the basic building blocks are Hardy spaces. In this note we generalize this framework to allow the Bergman and…
In this article, we characterize reducing and invariant subspaces of the space of square integrable functions defined in the unit circle and having values in some Hardy space with multiplicity. We consider subspaces that reduce the…
Sz.-Nagy and Foias proved that each $C_{\cdot0}$-contraction has a dilation to a Hardy shift and thus established an elegant analytic functional model for contractions of class $C_{\cdot0}$. This has motivated lots of further works on model…
We develop a Sz.-Nagy--Foias-type functional model for a commutative contractive operator tuple $\underline{T} = (T_1, \dots, T_d)$ having $T = T_1 \cdots T_d$ equal to a completely nonunitary contraction. We identify additional invariants…
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…
While the spectral properties and invariant subspaces of compressed shifts on model spaces are well understood, their behaviour on nearly $S^*$-invariant subspaces, a natural generalization with weaker structural constraints, remains…
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…
In this article, we characterize the Beurling and Model subspaces of the Hardy-Hilbert space $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ invariant under the composition operator $C_{\phi_a}f=f\circ\phi_a$, where $\phi_a(z) = az + 1 - a$ for $a \in (0,1)$ is an…
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…
The paper presents a new functional model for completely non-unitary contractions on a Hilbert space. This model is based on the observation that the theory of contractions shares a common geometric basis with the extension theory of…
The goal of the present paper is to push Sz.-Nagy--Foias model theory for a completely nonunitary Hilbert-space contraction operator $T$, to the case of a commuting pair of contraction operators $(T_1, T_2)$ having product $T = T_1 T_2$…
A closed subspace is invariant under the Ces\`aro operator $\mathcal{C}$ on the classical Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb D)$ if and only if its orthogonal complement is invariant under the $C_0$-semigroup of composition operators induced by the…
