Hankel Operators and Invariant Subspaces of the Dirichlet Space HANKEL OPERATORS AND INVARIANT SUBSPACES OF THE DIRICHLET SPACE SHUAIBING LUO AND STEFAN RICHTER Abstract. The Dirichlet space D is the space of all analytic func- tions f on the open unit disc D such that f 0 is square integrable with respect to two-dimensional Lebesgue measure. In this paper we prove that the invariant subspaces of the Dirichlet shift are in 1-1 correspondence with the kernels of the Dirichlet-Hankel oper- ators. We then apply this result to obtain information about the invariant subspace lattice of the weak product D D and to some questions about approximation of invariant subspaces of D. Our main results hold in the context of superharmonically weighted Dirichlet spaces. 1. Introduction If f 2 Hol(D) denotes an analytic function on the open unit disc D, then we use f^(n) for its nth Taylor coefficient. We write H2 2 for the Hardy space of the unit disc, it has norm given by kfkH2 = R 2 jdzj P1 ^ 2 jzj=1 jf(z)j 2π = n=0 jf(n)j . In this paper we will consider weighted Dirichlet spaces of the form Z 0 2 H = ff 2 Hol(D): jf (z)j U(z)dA(z) < 1g; D where U is a non-negative superharmonic function on D and dA denotes 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure. Particular examples of such weights are U(z) = (1 − jzj2)1−α for 0 < α ≤ 1. By the representation theorem for superharmonic functions (see [12], page 109) such weights can be represented by use of a finite Borel measure µ on the closed unit disc. We write Z Z 2 1 − wz dµ(w) 1 − jzj Uµ(z) = log 2 + 2 dµ(w); z 2 D; jwj<1 z − w 1 − jwj jwj=1 j1 − wzj Date: January 7, 2015. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Part of this work appeared in the first author's dissertation. 1 2 LUO AND RICHTER then the correspondence µ ! Uµ is a bijection of the collection of finite positive measures on D onto the set of positive superharmonic functions on D, and it is a theorem of Aleman, [1], Theorem IV.1.9 that for all f 2 H2 we have Z Z 0 2 (1.1) jf (z)j Uµ(z)dA(z) = Dw(f)dµ(w); D D R jf(z)−f(w)j2 jdzj where Dw(f) = jzj=1 jz−wj2 2π is called the local Dirichlet integral of f at w 2 D. Here we follow the convention that Dw(f) = 1, if f does not have a nontangential limit at w 2 @D. We define Z 2 D(µ) = ff 2 H (D): Dw(f)dµ(w) < 1g D 2 2 R with norm kfk = kfk 2 + Dw(f)dµ(w). In the special case where H D µ = m is normalized linear Lebesgue measure on the unit circle we obtain Um ≡ 1 and D(m) = D, the classical Dirichlet space. In this case we have 1 Z Z dA X kfk2 = jfj2dm + jf 0j2 = (n + 1)jf^(n)j2; π @D D n=0 Note also that D(µ) = H2 when µ = 0. For measures µ that are supported in @D these spaces arose in [16]. The general case was con- sidered in [1], [22], and [19], where all the basic results about D(µ) can be found. For any space of analytic functions B on the open unit disc D we de- note by (Mz; B) the linear transformation defined by (Mzf)(z) = zf(z) and we use Lat(Mz; B) to denote the collection of invariant subspaces of (Mz; B). We write M(B) for the set of multipliers of B, M(B) = f' 2 Hol(D): 'f 2 B for all f 2 Bg and for ' 2 M(B) we use M' 2 B(B) for the corresponding mul- tiplication operator, f ! 'f. Furthermore for ' 2 M(B) we write k'kM = kM'k for the multiplier norm. 2 2 2 Let H = H ;D(µ), or La = L (dA) \ Hol(D), the Bergman space. 2 By Beurling's theorem we have a precise knowledge of Lat(Mz;H ), 2 the Beurling lattice. Indeed, if (0) 6= M 2 Lat(Mz;H ), then M = 'H2 for some inner function ', i.e. ' is in the unit ball of H1 and satisfies j'(eit)j = 1 a.e., [5]. Less is known about the invari- ant subspaces of the Dirichlet and Bergman shifts, but it is well- established that the Bergman lattice differs in structure substantially HANKEL OPERATORS AND INVARIANT SUBSPACES 3 from the Beurling lattice, [2], while there are a number of similari- 2 ties between Lat(Mz;H ) and Lat(Mz;D(µ)), [15, 18, 1]. We refer the reader to [9] for a nice overview of what is currently known about the Dirichlet lattice Lat(Mz;D). The analogues of inner functions play an important role in the invariant subspace theory of both the Bergman and Dirichlet spaces. For (0) 6= M 2 Lat(Mz; H) we let n = inffk : 9f 2 M with f (k)(0) 6= 0g. Then the extremal problem supfRef (n)(0) : f 2 M; kfk ≤ 1g has a unique solution, which will be called the extremal function for M. In the case H = H2 the extremal function for M is the inner function satisfying M = 'H2. It is easy to check that up to a multiplicative constant of modulus one extremal n functions ' in H are characterized by hz '; 'i = δ0n, where δ0n = 1 for n = 0 and = 0 for n > 0. The main result that we want to bring to the attention of the reader is a new analogy between the Beurling and Dirichlet lattices that is based on the theory of Hankel operators H! H. Here we have written H = ff : f 2 Hg for the space of complex conjugates of H. This is a Hilbert space with inner product hf; giH = hg; fiH, f; g 2 H. As in [4] or [19] we define X (H) = fb 2 H : 9 C > 0 jh' ; bij ≤ Ck'kk k; 8'; 2 Hol(D)g: Note that for every b 2 X (H) the map ('; ) ! h' ; bi extends to be a bounded sesquilinear form on H × H. Thus with each b 2 X (H) we may associate the Hankel operator Hb 2 B(H; H), hHb'; iH = h' ; biH; '; 2 Hol(D): If H = H2 our definition of Hankel operator differs by a rank 1 operator from the common definition as operator H2 ! H2? ⊆ L2(@D). For 2 H = La our definition coincides with what is typically referred to as "little Hankel operator". Carleson measures can be used to describe X (H) in the cases where 2 2 H = H ;D, or La. Recall that a positive measure µ on D is called a Carleson measure for H, if there is a C > 0 such that R jpj2dµ ≤ D Ckpk2 for all polynomials p. Then it is well-known that X (H2) = BMOA = fb 2 H2 : jb0j2(1 − jzj2)dA is a Carleson measure for H2g, 2 [8]. Similarly, X (La) is the Bloch space, and also 2 0 2 2 2 2 X (La) = fb 2 D : jb j (1 − jzj ) dA is a Carleson measure for Lag; see e.g. [24]. Furthermore, in [4] it was shown that X (D) = fb 2 D : jb0j2dA is a Carleson measure for Dg: 4 LUO AND RICHTER One checks that hHb(zf); iH = hHbf; z iH for all f 2 H and 2 Hol(D). This implies that for each b 2 X (H) we have ker Hb 2 Lat(Mz; H). Theorem 1.1. Let µ be a nonnegative finite Borel measure supported in D and let M 2 Lat(Mz;D(µ)). Then there is a b 2 X (D(µ)) such that M = ker Hb: ∗ If M 6= (0), if ' is the extremal function for M, then b = Mz ' 2 X (D(µ)) and M = ker Hb. For µ = 0 one obtains H2. Of course, in this case the result is well- known. For the Bergman space the direct analogue of Theorem 1.1 is false, see [23]. We will prove Theorem 1.1 in Section 2. In the later sections of the paper we will apply the theorem to obtain further results about these 2 2 spaces. If H = H is the Hardy space, or H = La is the Bergman space, p p then it is natural to view H as part of the family of H - or La-spaces, and investigate how properties of functions and operators on these spaces change as the parameter p changes. However, if H = D(µ), or any abstract reproducing kernel Hilbert space, then it is unclear what the most natural class of related spaces should be. In Section 3 of this paper we investigate the weak product D(µ) D(µ), which we consider 1 1 to be a natural analogue of the spaces H and La in the Hardy and Bergman theories. The weak product of H is denoted by H H and it is defined to be the collection of all functions h 2 Hol(D) such that there are se- P1 quences ffigi≥1; fgigi≥1 ⊆ H with i=1 kfikkgik < 1 and h(z) = P1 P1 i=1 fi(z)gi(z) for all z 2 D. Note that whenever i=1 kfikkgik < 1, then 1 1 X 2 X jfi(z)jjgi(z)j ≤ kkzk kfikkgik < 1; i=1 i=1 thus the series will converge locally uniformly to the analytic function h.

  • The Closure of Dirichlet Spaces in the Bloch Space

Of special interest are the spaces Dp−1 ( <p< ∞) and the analytic p = p 1 Besov spaces B Dp−2 ( <p< ∞). Let B denote the Bloch space. It is known that the closure p of B (1 <p< ∞) in the Bloch norm is the little Bloch space B0. A description of the closure in the Bloch norm of the spaces Hp ∩B has been given recently. Such closures depend on p. In this paper p 1 we obtain a characterization of the closure in the Bloch norm of the spaces Dα ∩B ( ≤ p < ∞, 1 1 p α > − ). In particular, we prove that for all p ≥ the closure of the space Dp−1 ∩B coincides with that of H2 ∩B. Hence, contrary with what happens with Hardy spaces, these closures are independent of p. We apply these results to study the membership of Blaschke products in the p closure in the Bloch norm of the spaces Dα ∩B. 1.

  • Angular Derivatives and Compact Composition Operators on the Hardy and Bergman Spaces
    Can. J. Math., Vol. XXXVIII, No. 4, 1986, pp. 878-906 ANGULAR DERIVATIVES AND COMPACT COMPOSITION OPERATORS ON THE HARDY AND BERGMAN SPACES BARBARA D. MacCLUER AND JOEL H. SHAPIRO 1. Introduction. Let U denote the open unit disc of the complex plane, and <p a holomorphic function taking U into itself. In this paper we study the linear composition operator C^ defined by C^f = / o <p for / holomorphic on U. Our goal is to determine, in terms of geometric properties of <p, when Cv is a compact operator on the Hardy and Bergman spaces of U. For Bergman spaces we solve the problem completely in terms of the angular derivative of <p, and for a slightly restricted class of cp (which includes the univalent ones) we obtain the same solution for the Hardy spaces Hp (0 < p < oo). We are able to use these results to provide interesting new examples and to give unified explanations of some previously discovered phenomena. The boundedness of C^ on Hp is a consequence of Littlewood's Subordination Theorem, and it is in the Hp setting that the study of such operators has attracted the most attention. In 1968 Nordgren initiated the study of spectra of composition operators on Hp [24]. His work was carried on by Caughran and Schwartz [8], Kamowitz [16], C. Cowen [12], and in the context of the unit ball of C^, by B. MacCluer [18], [19]. However in this paper we pursue the line of investigation initiated by Ryff [28] and H. J. Schwartz [29], and elaborated by Shapiro and Taylor [30].

  • The Backward Shift on Dirichlet-Type Spaces 1
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 133, Number 10, Pages 3047–3056 S 0002-9939(05)07852-4 Article electronically published on March 31, 2005 THE BACKWARD SHIFT ON DIRICHLET-TYPE SPACES STEPHAN RAMON GARCIA (Communicated by Joseph A. Ball) Abstract. We study the backward shift operator on Hilbert spaces Hα (for α ≥ 0) which are norm equivalent to the Dirichlet-type spaces Dα. Although these operators are unitarily equivalent to the adjoints of the forward shift op- erator on certain weighted Bergman spaces, our approach is direct and com- pletely independent of the standard Cauchy duality. We employ only the classical Hardy space theory and an elementary formula expressing the inner product on Hα in terms of a weighted superposition of backward shifts. 1. Introduction Forward shift operators (multiplication by the independent variable) on weighted Bergman spaces are currently the focus of intense research (see for instance the re- cent texts [11, 14]). It is not hard to see that their adjoints are unitarily equivalent to the backward shift operator on spaces which are norm equivalent to certain Dirichlet-type spaces. To study the backward shift operator on a Hilbert space of analytic functions, one usually first considers the forward shift on the correspond- ing Cauchy dual. In this note we take a different point of view, approaching the backward shift operator on Dirichlet-type spaces using only the classical theory of Hardy spaces. We demonstrate that many results can be obtained completely independently of the forward shift on the corresponding weighted Bergman spaces. This approach allows us to work in a setting (the Hardy space H2 [10]) which is classical and well-understood.

  • Dirichlet Forms As Banach Algebras and Applications

We study regular Dirichlet forms on locally compact Hausdorff spaces X in the framework of the theory of commutative Banach algebras. We prove that, suitably normed, the Dirichlet algebra Ꮾe D C0.X/ \ Ᏺe of continuous functions vanishing at infinity in the extended domain Ᏺe of a Dirichlet form .Ᏹ; Ᏺ/ is a semisimple Banach algebra. This implies that two strongly local −1 Dirichlet forms .Ᏹ1; Ᏺ1/, .Ᏹ2; Ᏺ2/ are quasi-equivalent (that is, c Ᏹ1 ≤Ᏹ2 ≤ c Ᏹ1 for some c > 0) if and only if they have the same domain. We describe the ideal structure of Ꮾe, showing that the algebraic K- theory K∗.Ꮾe/ of the Dirichlet algebra Ꮾe is isomorphic to the topological K-theory K ∗.X/. This allows the construction of Dirichlet structures on (sections of) finite-dimensional, locally trivial vector bundles over X. 1. Introduction We study Dirichlet forms from the viewpoint of the theory of commutative Banach algebras; this approach can be compared to the one illustrated in [Cipriani and Sauvageot 2003], where it was shown how the study of regular Dirichlet forms can be regarded as the study of closed derivations on algebras of continuous functions, taking values in Hilbert modules. In this section we consider some motivating questions concerning quadratic forms, which will be answered using algebraic tools.

  • The Classical Dirichlet Space
    Contemporary Mathematics The classical Dirichlet space William T. Ross Dedicated to J. A. Cima on the occasion of his 70th birthday and to over 45 years of dedicated service to mathematics. 1. Introduction In this survey paper, we will present a selection of results concerning the class of analytic functions f on the open unit disk D := fz 2 C : jzj < 1g which have ¯nite Dirichlet integral Z 1 D(f) := jf 0j2 dx dy: ¼ D In particular, we will cover the basic structure of these functions - their boundary values and their zeros - along with two important operators that act on this space of functions - the forward and backward shifts. This survey is by no means complete. For example, we will not cover the Toeplitz or Hankel operators on these functions, nor will we cover the important topic of interpolation. These topics are surveyed in a nice paper of Wu [64]. In order to make this survey more manageable, we will also restrict ourselves to this space of functions with ¯nite Dirichlet integral and will not try to cover the many related Dirichlet-type spaces. We refer the reader to the papers [11, 41, 47, 54] for more on this. 2. Basic de¯nitions An analytic function f on the open unit disk D belongs to the classical Dirichlet space D if it has ¯nite Dirichlet integral Z 1 D(f) := jf 0j2 dA; ¼ D where dA is two dimensional Lebesgue area measure.

  • Isometries of the Dirichlet Space Among the Composition Operators
    ISOMETRIES OF THE DIRICHLET SPACE AMONG THE COMPOSITION OPERATORS MAR¶IA J. MART¶IN AND DRAGAN VUKOTIC¶ Abstract. We show that every composition operator which is an isometry of the Dirichlet space is induced by a univalent full map of the disk into itself that ¯xes the origin. This is an analogue of the Hardy space result for inner functions due to Nordgren. The proof relies on the Stone-Weierstrass theorem and the Riesz representation theorem. The Dirichlet space D of all holomorphic functions with square integrable deriva- tive in the unit disk D is a distinguished member of a scale of conformally invariant Banach spaces on which the MÄobiusgroup acts boundedly; see [1, 2]. This scale contains, for example, all analytic Besov spaces Bp, 1 · p < 1, the Bloch space B, and the little Bloch space B0. Actually, D is the only Hilbert space among such spaces up to an isomorphism [1]. Cima and Wogen [3] characterized the linear isometries of B0 and the isometries of B that are onto. Hornor and Jamison [7] described all surjective isometries of Bp spaces, except when p = 2 (the Dirichlet space). Similar results are well known for Bergman and Hardy spaces ([5], x 2.8). Being a Hilbert space, D has plenty of isometries. They can be obtained, e.g., by permuting elements of an orthonormal basis. Even among the composition operators there are enough isometries of D. In this note we describe all such operators by showing that their symbols must be univalent, ¯x the origin, and map D onto a subset of full area measure.

Littlewood in 1925 proved a subordination principle, which in operator theory language, says that composition operators are bounded in the Hardy space H2, the Hilbert space of analytic functions on D with square summable power series coefficients. This is the first setting by which many properties of the composition operator such as boundedness, compactness, and closed range have been studied. It is natural to study these properties on other function spaces. Let H be a Hilbert space of analytic functions on D with inner product {·, ·}.
