Spectral synthesis of diagonal operators and representing systems for the space of entire functions (Q2427744)

The main topic of this paper is the study of diagonal continuous linear operators on the spaces \(H(B(0,R))\) or \(H(\mathbb{C} )\) of functions holomorphic on some ball \(B(0,R)\) of the complex plane or on \(\mathbb{C} \). Diagonal operators have as eigenvectors the monomials \(z^n\), the associated eigenvalues being \(\lambda _n\) with the \(\lambda _n\)'s distinct: \(D(\sum a_n z^n)=\sum a_n \lambda _n z^n\) formally. The operator \(D\) is said to admit spectral synthesis if every invariant subspace for \(D\) is the closed linear span of some collection of monomials \(z^n\). It is not known if there exist diagonal operators on \(H(B(0,R))\) or \(H(\mathbb{C} )\) which fail spectral synthesis. In this paper, is is shown that, under mild conditions, such a diagonal operator has a non-spectral invariant subspace if and only if every entire function of a particular growth is representable as a generalized Dirichlet series \(\sum b_ne^{\lambda _n z}\).
