We discuss a notion, originally introduced by Aleman in one variable, of Dirichlet-type space $\mathcal D(\mu_1,\mu_2)$ on the unit bidisc $\mathbb D^2,$ with superharmonic weights related to finite positive Borel measures $\mu_1,\mu_2$ on…
Harmonically weighted Dirichlet spaces $\mathcal{D}_\mu$ and de Branges_Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(b)$ are two fundamental structures in analytic function theory exhibiting rich and often complementary properties. The question of when…
This paper studies the function spaces $\mathcal{D}(\mu)$ by Richter and Aleman, and $\mathcal{D}_{\vec{\mu}}$ by the second author. It is known that the forward shift $M_z$ is bounded and expansive on $\mathcal{D}(\mu)$, and therefore…
We investigate expansive Hilbert space operators $T$ that are finite rank perturbations of isometric operators. If the spectrum of $T$ is contained in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, then such operators are of the form $T=…
For $S$ a contractive analytic operator-valued function on the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$, de Branges and Rovnyak associate a Hilbert space of analytic functions ${\mathcal H}(S)$ and related extension space ${\mathcal D(S)}$ consisting of…
The de Branges-Rovnyak space $H(b)$ is generated by a bounded analytic function $b$ in the unit ball of $H^\infty$. When $b$ is a nonextreme point, the space $H(b)$ is invariant by the forward shift operator $M_z$. We show that the $H(b)$…
Motivated by the recent developments of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces, we investigate the function theoretic aspects of finite rank de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $H(B)$ generated by row-valued Schur functions $B$. We provide a generalization of…
In this paper, we study the cyclic vectors of the shift operator $S_b$ acting on de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal H(b)$ associated to a non-extreme point of the closed unit ball of $H^\infty$. We highlight an interesting link with a…
We discuss de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal H(b)$ generated by nonextreme and rational functions $b$ and local Dirichlet spaces of order $m$ introduced in [6]. In [6] the authors characterized nonextreme $b$ for which the operator…
We study the problem of characterizing the cyclic vectors in de Branges-Rovnyak spaces. Based on a description of the invariant subspaces we show that the difficulty lies entirely in understanding the subspace $(aH^{2})^{\perp}$ and give a…
We develop a new duality between endomorphisms of measure spaces, on the one hand, and a certain family of positive operators, called transfer operators, acting in spaces of measurable functions on, on the other. A framework of standard…
Composition operators with analytic symbols on some reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of entire functions on a complex Hilbert space are studied. The questions of their boundedness, seminormality and positivity are investigated. It is…
Recently it has been shown that any regular simple symmetric operator with deficiency indices (1,1) is unitarily equivalent to the operator of multiplication in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions on the real line with the…
In this paper, we study the cyclicity problem with respect to the forward shift operator $S_b$ acting on the de Branges--Rovnyak space $\mathscr{H}(b)$ associated to a function $b$ in the closed unit ball of $H^\infty$ and satisfying…
We establish a connection between the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces and the Cowen-Douglas class of operators which is associated with complex geometric structures. We prove that the backward shift operator on a de Branges-Rovnyak space never…
We discuss the reflexivity of hyperexpansions and their Cauchy dual operators. In particular, we show that any cyclic completely hyperexpansive operator is reflexive. We also establish the reflexivity of the Cauchy dual of an arbitrary…
We study the compactness and the hypercyclicity of Toeplitz operators in the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces H(b) with co-analytic and bounded symbols on D. We highlight the fundamental role played by the function b generating the de…
In this paper, we characterize the boundedness and the compactness of weighted composition operators acting on a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal H(b)$, where the symbol $b$ is a rational function in the unit ball of $H^\infty$ that is…
Using the notion of commutative operator vessels, this work investigates de Branges-Rovnyak spaces whose elements are sections of a line bundle of multiplicative half-order differentials on a compact real Riemann surface. As a special case,…
In this paper, we introduce a general class of weighted spaces of holomorphic Dirichlet series (with real frequencies) analytic in some half-plane and study composition operators on these spaces. In the particular case when the symbol…
