Extending functions in the model subspaces of \(H^2(\mathbb{R})\) to \(\mathbb{C}\) (Q1866632)

Each function from the Hardy space \(H^2(C_+)\) in the upper half-plane admits nontangential boundary values which constitute the subspace \(H^2(R)\) of the Lebesgue space \(L^2(R)\). The main object under consideration is the model subspace \(K_\theta\) which is the orthogonal complement of \(\theta H^2(R)\) in \(H^2(R)\) with an inner function \(\theta\). The author shows that each function from \(K_\theta\) can be extended to the upper half-plane as a function from \(H^2(C_+)\) and to the lower half-plane as a function from \(\theta H^2(C_-)\). The extended function is analytic on the real line wherever \(\theta\) is. Finally the complete characterization of the model space is given in cases when \(\theta=e^{\sigma x}\) and \(\theta\) is a meromorphic Blaschke product.
