In the context of a theorem of Richter, we establish a similarity between $C_0$-semigroups of analytic 2-isometries $\{T(t)\}_{t\geq0}$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ and the multiplication operator semigroup $\{M_{\phi_t}\}_{t\geq…

Given any shift-invariant closed subspace $\mathcal{S}$ (aka submodule) of the Hardy space over the unit polydisc $H^2(\mathbb{D}^n)$ (where $n \geq 2$), let $R_{z_j}:=M_{z_j}|_{\mathcal{S}}$, and $E_{z_j}:=P_{\mathcal{S}}\circ ev_{z_j}$,…

Let $\mathbf{A}$ be a bounded self-adjoint operator on a separable Hilbert space $\mathfrak{H}$ and $\mathfrak{H}_0\subset\mathfrak{H}$ a closed invariant subspace of $\mathbf{A}$. Assuming that $\mathfrak{H}_0$ is of codimension 1, we…

We study modularity of the lattice Lat $(T)$ of closed invariant subspaces for a $C_0$-operator $T$ and find a condition such that Lat $(T)$ is a modular. Furthermore, we provide a quasiaffinity preserving modularity.

Conditions for a composition operator on the Hardy space of the disk to have closed range or be similar to an isometry are well known. We provide such conditions for composition operators on the Hardy space of the upper half-plane. We also…

In this paper we initiate the study of composition operators on the noncommutative Hardy space $H^2_{\bf ball}$. Several classical results about composition operators (boundedness, norm estimates, spectral properties, compactness,…

By analytic perturbations, we refer to shifts that are finite rank perturbations of the form $M_z + F$, where $M_z$ is the unilateral shift and $F$ is a finite rank operator on the Hardy space over the open unit disc. Here shift refers to…

Given a Banach space X and a bounded linear operator T on X, a subspace Y of X is almost invariant under T if TY is a subspace of Y+F for some finite-dimensional ``error'' F. In this paper, we study subspaces that are almost invariant under…

We provide a direct, intersection theoretic, argument that the Jordan models of an operator of class C_{0}, of its restriction to an invariant subspace, and of its compression to the orthogonal complement, satisfy a multiplicative form of…

We show that finitely subgraded Lie algebras of compact operators have invariant subspaces when conditions of quasinilpotence are imposed on certain components of the subgrading. This allows us to obtain some useful information about the…

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…

In this paper we will show how the boundedness condition for the weighted composition operators on a class of spaces of analytic functions on the open right complex half-plane called Zen spaces (which include the Hardy spaces and weighted…

We first find an explicit formula for the square root of positive $2 \times 2$ operator matrices with commuting entries, and then use it to define and study semi-hyponormality for commuting pairs of Hilbert space operators. \ For the…

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…

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.

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be a Hilbert space and $H^2_{\mathcal{E}}(\mathbb{D})$ be the $\mathcal{E}$-valued Hardy space over the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ in $\mathbb{C}$. The well known Beurling-Lax-Halmos theorem states that every shift invariant…

For an operator $A$ on a complex Banach space $X$ and a closed subspace $M\subseteq X$, the local commutant of $A$ at $M$ is the set $C(A;M)$ of all operators $T$ on $X$ such that $TAx=ATx$ for every $x\in M$. It is clear that $ C(A;M)$ is…

It is shown that if the Deddens algebra ${\mathcal D}_T$ associated with a quasinilpotent operator $T$ on a complex Banach space is closed and localizing then $T$ has a nontrivial closed hyperinvariant subspace.

The discrete Ces\`aro operator $\mathsf{C}$ is investigated in strong duals of smooth sequence spaces of infinite type. Of main interest is its spectrum, which turns out to be distinctly different in the cases when the space is nuclear and…

In this paper we consider the operad of holomorphic disk embeddings of the unit disk $\mathbb D \subset \mathbb C$. We introduce a suboperad $\mathbb{CE}_2^{HS}$ defined by square-integrability conditions and show that the symmetric algebra…
