Outlines for the computation of the multiplicities of the spectra of orthogonal sums (Q1080136)

If A and B are operators in the spaces X and Y, respectively, and if the operator B has ''many'' sets \(\Delta\), \(\Delta\subset {\mathbb{C}}\), such that the manifolds \(Y(\Delta)\overset{def}= \{y\in Y:\| p(B)y\| \leq C_ y\sup_{\Delta}| p|\), \(| p|\), \(\forall p\), p is a polynomial\(\}\) are dense in the space Y, then \(\mu_{A\oplus B}=\max (\mu_ A,\mu_ B)=\mu_ A\). Here \(\mu_ A=(the\) multiplicity of the spectrum of the operator A)\(=^{def}\min \{\dim L:span(A^ nL:n\geq 0)\}=X\). For example, if \(B=T\bar g\) is a Toeplitz operator in the space \(H^ 2\) with antianalytic symbol \(\bar g(\)g\(\in H^{\infty},g\not\equiv const)\) and if g(\({\mathbb{D}})\setminus (the\) polynomial convex hull of the spectrum \(\sigma\) (A))\(\neq \emptyset\), then \(\mu_{A\oplus T_{\bar g}}=\mu_ A\). Conversely, if \(A=T_ f(f\in H^{\infty})\) and g(\({\mathbb{D}})\subset f({\mathbb{D}})\), then (under some assumptions on the ''regularity'' of the function f) we have \(\mu_{T_ f\oplus T_ g}=\mu_{T_ f}+\mu_{T_ g}\). One also gives examples of univalent and essentially univalent functions \(f(f\in H^{\infty})\), for which \(\mu_{T_ f}>1\).
