Beurling type theorem on the Bergman space via the Hardy space of the bidisk (Q1047873)

Let \(L_{a}^{2}\) be the Bergman space, i.e., the Hilbert space of the functions analytic in the unit disk of the complex plane satisfying the inequality \( \int_{|z|<1} |f(z)|^{2}\, \frac{dA(z)}{\pi}< 1\), where \(dA(z)\) is the area measure. Denote by \(M_z\) the Bergman shift, i.e., the multiplication operator on \(L_{a}^{2}\) induced by the identity function \(z\mapsto z\). \textit{A.\,Aleman}, \textit{S.\,Richter} and \textit{C.\,Sundberg} [Acta Math.\ 177, 275--310 (1996; Zbl 0886.30026)] proved a Beurling type theorem which says that every \(M_z\)-invariant subspace \(M \leq L_{a}^{2}\) is of the form \(M=[M\ominus zM]\), where \(M\ominus z M\) is the wandering subspace of \(M\) and \([M\ominus zM]\) denotes the smallest \(M_z\)-invariant subspace containing \(M\ominus zM\). In the present paper, a new proof of this theorem is given.
