ON THE CYCLICITY AND SYNTHESIS OF DIAGONAL OPERATORS ON THE SPACE OF FUNCTIONS ANALYTIC ON A DISK Ian Deters A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of A DISSERTATION May 2009 Committee: Steven Seubert, Advisor Sachi Sakthivel, Graduate Faculty Representative Neal Carothers Juan Bes ii ABSTRACT Steven Seubert, Advisor A diagonal operator on the space of functions holomorphic on a disk of finite radius is a continuous linear operator having the monomials as eigenvectors. In this dissertation, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a diagonal operator to be cyclic. Necessary and sufficient conditions are also given for a cyclic diagonal operator to admit spectral synthesis, that is, to have as closed invariant subspaces only the closed linear span of sets of eigenvectors. In particular, it is shown that a cyclic diagonal operator admits synthesis if and only if one vector, not depending on the operator, is cyclic. It is also shown that this is equivalent to existence of sequences of polynomials which seperate and have minimum growth on the eigenvalues of the operator. iii This dissertation is dedicated to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created. -Revelation 4:11 We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Alighty, Who are and Who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign. -Revelation 11:17 Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For all the nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.
