Embedding dimension of the Dirichlet space (2107.12941v2)

Abstract: The classical Dirichlet space is a complete Pick space, hence by a theorem of Agler and McCarthy, there exists an embedding $b$ of the unit disc into a $d$-dimensional ball such that composition with $b$ realizes the Dirichlet space as a quotient of the Drury-Arveson space. We show that $d =\infty$ is necessary, even if we only demand that composition with $b$ induces a surjective map between the multiplier algebras.
