Cyclic nearly invariant subspaces for semigroups of isometries (2309.08306v2)

Abstract: In this paper, the structure of the nearly invariant subspaces for discrete semigroups generated by several (even infinitely many) automorphisms of the unit disc is described. As part of this work, the near $S^*$-invariance property of the image space $C_\varphi({\rm ker\, } T)$ is explored for composition operators $C_\varphi$, induced by inner functions $\varphi$, and Toeplitz operators $T$. After that, the analysis of nearly invariant subspaces for strongly continuous multiplication semigroups of isometries is developed with a study of cyclic subspaces generated by a single Hardy class function. These are characterised in terms of model spaces in all cases when the outer factor is a product of an invertible function and a rational (not necessarily invertible) function. Techniques used include the theory of Toeplitz kernels and reproducing kernels.
