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…

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…

A particular case of results from [K2] is as follows. Let the unitary asymptote of a contraction $T$ contain the bilateral shift (of finite or infinite multiplicity). Then there exists an invariant subspace $\mathcal M$ of $T$ such that…

The Sz.-Nagy--Foias model theory for $C_{\cdot 0}$ contraction operators combined with the Beurling-Lax theorem establishes a correspondence between any two of four kinds of objects: shift-invariant subspaces, operator-valued inner…

In this paper we study subspaces which are invariant under squares and cubes (separately as well as jointly) of unicellular backward weighted shift operators on a separable Hilbert space. The finite-dimensional subspaces are characterized…

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…

This paper explores various classes of invariant subspaces of the classical Ces\`{a}ro operator $C$ on the Hardy space $H^2$. We provide a new characterization of the finite co-dimensional $C$-invariant subspaces, based on earlier work of…

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…

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 $T = T_1 T_2$…

The structure of subspaces of a Hilbert space that are invariant under unitary representations of a discrete group is related to a notion of Hilbert modules endowed with inner products taking values in spaces of unbounded operators. A…

\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…

Let T be a C_{\cdot 0}-contraction on a Hilbert space H and S be a non-trivial closed subspace of H. We prove that S is a T-invariant subspace of H if and only if there exists a Hilbert space D and a partially isometric operator \Pi :…

A d-contraction is a d-tuple $(T_1,...,T_d)$ of mutually commuting operators acting on a common Hilbert space H such that $ \|T_1\xi_1+T_2\xi_2+... +T_d\xi_d\|^2\leq \|\xi_1\|^2+\|\xi_2\|^2+...+\|\xi_d\|^2 $ for all…

This paper proves two theorems. The first of these simplifies and lends clarity to the previous characterizations of the invariant subspaces of $S$, the operator of multiplication by the coordinate function $z$, on…

This paper generalizes the classical Sz.-Nagy--Foias $H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$ functional calculus for Hilbert space contractions. In particular, we replace the single contraction $T$ with a tuple $T=(T_1, \dots, T_d)$ of commuting bounded…

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…

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…

For a shift operator $T$ with finite multiplicity acting on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space we represent its nearly $T^{-1}$ invariant subspaces in terms of invariant subspaces under the backward shift. Going further, given…

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…
