On analytic structure of weighted shifts on generalized directed semi-trees

Abstract

Inspired by natural classes of examples, we define generalized directed semi-tree and construct weighted shifts on the generalized directed semi-trees. Given an $n$-tuple of directed directed semi-trees with certain properties, we associate an $n$-tuple of multiplication operators on a Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}^2(\beta)$ of formal power series. Under certain conditions, $\mathscr{H}^2(\beta)$ turns out to be a reproducing kernel Hilbert space consisting of holomorphic functions on some domain in $\mathbb C^n$ and the $n$-tuple of multiplication operators on $\mathscr{H}^2(\beta)$ is unitarily equivalent to an $n$-tuple of weighted shifts on the generalized directed semi-trees. Finally, we exhibit two classes of examples of $n$-tuple of operators which can be intrinsically identified as weighted shifts on generalized directed semi-trees.
