The main result is a test function style commutant lifting theorem for an annulus A. The test functions are the minimal inner functions for A. The model space is the Sarason Hardy Hilbert space for A uniquely determined by the fact that its…

This paper focuses on representations of contractively embedded invariant subspaces in several variables. We present a version of the de Branges theorem for $n$-tuples of multiplication operators by the coordinate functions on analytic…

The goal of this note is to apply ideas from commutative algebra (a.k.a. affine algebraic geometry) to the question of constrained Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation. More precisely, we consider subalgebras $A \subset…

We establish some multivariate generalizations of the Beurling-Lax-Halmos theorem.

Pick spaces are a class of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces that generalize the classical Hardy space and the Drury--Arveson reproducing kernel spaces. We give characterizations of certain contractively included subspaces of Pick spaces.…

The article deals with isometric dilation and commutant lifting for a class of $n$-tuples $(n \geq 3)$ of commuting contractions. We show that operator tuples in the class dilate to tuples of commuting isometries of BCL type. As a…

We investigate isometric and algebraic isomorphism problems for multiplier algebras associated with Dirichlet series kernels that possess the complete Nevanlinna-Pick (CNP) property. A central aspect of our work is the explicit…

A unitarily invariant, complete Nevanlinna--Pick kernel $K$ on the unit ball determines a class of operators on Hilbert space called $K$-contractions. We study those $K$-contractions that are constrained, in the sense that they are…

Let $(\mathcal{H}_k, \mathcal{H}_{\ell})$ be a pair of Hilbert function spaces with kernels $k, \ell$. In a 2005 paper, Shimorin showed that a certain factorization condition on $(k, \ell)$ yields a commutant lifting theorem for multipliers…

The paper discusses a series of results concerning reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, related to the factorization of their kernels. In particular, it is proved that for a large class of spaces isometric multipliers are trivial. One also…

Sub-Bergman Hilbert spaces are analogues of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces in the Bergman space setting. They are reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces contractively contained in the Bergman space of the unit disk. K. Zhu analyzed sub-Bergman…

Motivated by the theory of weighted shifts on directed trees and its multivariable counterpart, we address the question of identifying commutant and reflexivity of the multiplication $d$-tuple $\mathscr M_z$ on a reproducing kernel Hilbert…

In \cite{ds_hfs}, a geometric procedure for constructing a Nevanlinna-Pick problem on $\D^n$ with a specified set of uniqueness was established. In this sequel we conjecture a necessary and a sufficient condition for a Nevanlinna-Pick…

We develop a $d$-variable analog of the two-component de Bran-ges-Rovnyak reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated with a Schur-class function on the unit disk. In this generalization, the unit disk is replaced by the unit ball in…

We consider a Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem on finite sequences of the unit disc D constrained by Hardy and radial-weighted Bergman norms. We find sharp asymptotics on the corresponding interpolation constants. As another…

Every multiplier algebra of an irreducible complete Pick kernel arises as the restriction algebra $\mv = \{f\big|_V : f \in \cM_d\}$, where $d$ is some integer or $\infty$, $\cM_d$ is the multiplier algebra of the Drury-Arveson space…

In this paper, we initiate the study of sub-pluriharmonic curves in Cuntz-Toeplitz algebras and free pluriharmonic majorants on noncommutative balls. We are lead to a characterization of the noncommutative Hardy space $H^2_{\bf ball}$ in…

We investigate the Pick problem for the polydisk and unit ball using dual algebra techniques. Some factorization results for Bergman spaces are used to describe a Pick theorem for any bounded region in $\mathbb{C}^d$.

We revisit four approaches to the BiTangential Operator Argument Nevanlinna-Pick (BTOA-NP) interpolation theorem on the right half plane: (1) the state-space approach of Ball-Gohberg-Rodman, (2) the Fundamental Matrix Inequality approach of…

Peak interpolation is concerned with a foundational kind of mathematical task: building functions in a fixed algebra $A$ which have prescribed values or behaviour on a fixed closed subset (or on several disjoint subsets). In this paper we…
