Reducing subspaces of weighted Hardy spaces on polydisks (Q2341667)

Let \(H_w^2(\mathbb{D}^n)\) be the weighted Hardy space on the \(n\)-dimensional polydisk. Let \(M_{z_k}^{M_k}\) be the shift operator \(f(z) \mapsto f(z)z_k^{N_k}\) acting on \(H_w^2(\mathbb{D}^n)\). The article determines common reducing subspaces of the operators \(M_{z_1}^{M_1}, M_{z_2}^{M_2}, \dots, M_{z_n}^{M_n}\), where the numbers \(N_k\) are arbitrary nonnegative integers. The work is a generalization of a result in [\textit{M. Stessin} and \textit{K. Zhu}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 130, No. 9, 2631--2639 (2002; Zbl 1035.47015)] from one to many variables. It is shown that there are at most \(M_1 M_2 \cdots M_n\) different minimal reducing subspaces for \(M_{z_1}^{M_1}, M_{z_2}^{M_2}, \dots, M_{z_n}^{M_n}\), the precise number depending on the weight. Each of the minimal subspaces is generated by one polynomial. Each common reducing subspace \(X\) of \(M_{z_1}^{M_1}, M_{z_2}^{M_2}, \dots, M_{z_n}^{M_n}\) can be decomposed into minimal reducing subspaces by repeated solving of an extremal problem in \(X\).
