Multiplicative structure of de Branges's spaces (Q1185465)

Let \(b\) be a nonconstant function in the unit ball \(B(H^ \infty)\) of the space \(H^ \infty\) of all bounded holomorphic functions in the open unit disc. De Branges spaces \(H(b)\) are Hilbert spaces contained in the Hardy space \(H^ 2\). In recent years they turned out to be useful in function theory. The spaces \(H(b)\) break naturally into two classes according to whether \(b\) is or is not an extreme point of \(B(H^ \infty)\). The paper under review studies the multipliers on the space \(H(b)\) in the more interesting case where \(b\) is an extreme point. The authors show that there is an abundance of multipliers in that case. In particular, they give a complete description of the multipliers of \(H(b)\) for a certain class of extreme points \(b\). The paper ends with a list of open problems.
