Abstract

The Invariant Subspace Problem (ISP) for Hilbert spaces asks if every bounded linear operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. Due to the existence of universal operators (in the sense of Rota) the ISP can be solved by proving that every minimal invariant subspace of a universal operator is one dimensional. In this paper, we obtain a nontrivial invariant subspace of TφMT^{*}_{\varphi}|_{M}, where TφT_{\varphi} is the Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space over the bidisk H2(D2)H^{2}(\mathbb{D}^{2}) induced by the symbol φH(D)\varphi\in H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D}) and MM is a TφT_{\varphi}^{*}-invariant subspace. We use this fact to get sufficient conditions for the ISP.
