Characterizations of functions in wandering subspaces of the Bergman Shift via the Hardy space of the Bidisc

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{W}$ be the corresponding wandering subspace of an invariant subspace of the Bergman shift. By identifying the Bergman space with $H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)\ominus[z-w]$, a sufficient and necessary conditions of a closed subspace of $H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)\ominus[z-w]$ to be a wandering subspace of an invariant subspace is given also, and a functional charaterization and a coefficient characterization for a function in a wandering subspace are given. As a byproduct, we proved that for two invariant subspaces $\mathcal{M}$, $\mathcal{N}$ with $\mathcal{M}\supsetneq\mathcal{N}$ and $dim(\mathcal{N}\ominus B\mathcal{N})<\infty$ $dim(\mathcal{M}\ominus B\mathcal{M})=\infty$, then there is an invariant subspace $\mathcal{L}$ such that $\mathcal{M}\supsetneq\mathcal{L}\supsetneq\mathcal{N}$. Finally, we define an operator from one wandering subspace to another, and get a decomposition theorem for such an operator which is related to the universal property of the Bergman shift.
