Topological Hilbert Nullstellensatz for Bergman Spaces

Abstract

The results in the paper are related to the classification problem for invariant subspaces of multiplication operators in several variables. The main results consist of characterizations, in the two dimensional case, of ideals of polynomials and analytic functions which are closed in the relative topology induced by Bergman spaces on certain domains. This provides proofs of the Bergman space analogues of a conjecture of R. G. Douglas and V. Paulsen.
