We show that a Beurling type theory of invariant subspaces of noncommutative $H^2$ spaces holds true in the setting of subdiagonal subalgebras of $\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebras. This extends earlier work of Blecher and Labuschagne for…

We present two alternative proofs of Mandrekar's theorem, which states that an invariant subspaces of the Hardy space on the bidisc is of Beurling type precisely when the shifts satisfy a doubly commuting condition. The first proof uses…

In the Drury-Arveson space, we consider the subspace of functions whose Taylor coefficients are supported in the complement of a set $Y\subset\mathbb{N}^d$ with the property that $Y+e_j\subset Y$ for all $j=1,\dots,d$. This is an easy…

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…

It is known that the structure of invariant subspaces of the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb D^n)$ on the polydisc $\mathbb{D}^n$ is very complicated; hence, we need good examples help us to understand the structure of invariant subspaces of…

We show that any bounded operator $T$ on a separable, reflexive, infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ admits a rank one perturbation which has an invariant subspace of infinite dimension and codimension. In the non-reflexive spaces, we…

We introduce a class of unitarily invariant, locally $\|\cdot\|_1$-dominating, mutually continuous norms with repect to $\tau$ on a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with a faithful, normal, semifinite tracial weight $\tau$. We prove a…

A subalgebra $A$ of the algebra $B(\mathcal{H})$ of bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be catalytic if every transitive subalgebra $\mathcal{T}\subset B(\mathcal{H})$ containing it is strongly…

We present some old and new results on a class of invariant spaces of holomorphic functions on symmetric domains, both in their circular bounded realizations and in their unbounded realizations as Siegel domains of type II. These spaces…

Let $S$ be the shift operator on the Hardy space $H^2$ and let $S^*$ be its adjoint. A closed subspace $\FF$ of $H^2$ is said to be nearly $S^*$-invariant if every element $f\in\FF$ with $f(0)=0$ satisfies $S^*f\in\FF$. In particular, the…

Let $T\in B(\mathcal{H})$ be an invertible operator. From the 1940's, Gelfand, Hille and Wermer investigated the invariant subspaces of $T$ by analyzing the growth of $\|T^n\|$, where $n\in \mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we study the invariant…

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…

Assume that $X$ is a complex separable infinite dimensional Banach space and $\mathcal{B}(X)$ denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators from $X$ to itself. In 1970, P.R. Halmos raised ten open problems in Hilbert spaces.…

Let $\{T(t)\}_{t\geq0}$ be a $C_0$-semigroup on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space; a suitable definition of near $\{T(t)^*\}_{t\geq0}$ invariance of a subspace is presented in this paper. A series of prototypical examples for…

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…

Let $H^2(\mathbb{D}^n)$ denote the Hardy space over the polydisc $\mathbb{D}^n$, $n \geq 2$. A closed subspace $\mathcal{Q} \subseteq H^2(\mathbb{D}^n)$ is called Beurling quotient module if there exists an inner function $\theta \in…

\v{C}u\v{c}kovi\'{c} and Paudyal recently characterized the lattice of invariant subspaces of the shift plus a complex Volterra operator on the Hilbert space $H^2$ on the unit disk. Motivated by the idea of Ong, in this paper, we give a…
