Backward shift invariant spaces in H^2 (Q3840650)

If \(b\in B(H^\infty)\), the unit ball of \(H^\infty\), then the de Branges-Rovnyak space \({\mathcal H}(b)\) is a Hilbert space contained contractively in \(H^2\) that is invariant by the backward shift operator \(S^*\). When \(b\) is an inner function the invariant subspaces of \({\mathcal H}(b)\) are given by Beurling's theorem and when \(b\) is not an extreme point of \(B(H^\infty)\) they were characterized by Sarason. We characterize the invariant subspaces of \({\mathcal H}(b)\) when \(b\) is any extreme point of \(B(H^\infty)\).
