Cauchy-de Branges spaces, geometry of their reproducing kernels and multiplication operators

Abstract

Cauchy-de Branges spaces are Hilbert spaces of entire functions defined in terms of Cauchy transforms of discrete measures on the plane and generalizing the classical de Branges theory. We consider extensions of two important properties of de Branges spaces to this, more general, setting. First, we discuss geometric properties (completeness, Riesz bases) of systems of reproducing kernels corresponding to the zeros of certain entire functions associated to the space. In the case of de Branges spaces they correspond to orthogonal bases of reproducing kernels. The second theme of the paper is a characterization of the density of the domain of multiplication by $z$ in Cauchy-de Branges spaces.
