Essentially normal quotient weighted Bergman modules over the bidisk and distinguished varieties (Q6049885)

For a closed submodule \(\mathcal{M}\), we set \(\mathcal{N}=H\ominus\mathcal{M}\), and for \(p\in\mathbb{C}[z_1,\ldots,z_d]\) write \(S_p=P_\mathcal{N}~p(T_1,\ldots, T_d)\mid_\mathcal{N}\). For a real number \(\alpha>-1\), the weighted Bergman space is defined by \[ \mathcal{A}_\alpha(\mathbb{D}^d)=\left\{f\in\mathrm{Hol}(\mathbb{D}^d):||f||_\alpha^2=c_\alpha\int_{\mathbb{D}^d}|f(z)|^2\prod_{i=1}^d(1-|z_i|^2)^\alpha\mathrm{dV}_d(z)<\infty\right\}, \] where \(\mathrm{dV}_d\) is the usual Lebesgue measure on \(\mathbb{D}^d\), and \(c_\alpha\) is the constant that normalizes the measure \(\prod\limits_{i=1}^d(1-|z_i|^2)^\alpha\mathrm{dV}_d\). For an ideal \(I\subset\mathbb{C}[z,w]\), \([I]_\alpha\subset\mathcal{A}_\alpha(\mathbb{D}^2)\) denotes the submodule generated by \(I\) and \([I]_\alpha^\perp\) is the associated quotient module. The authors establish the injectivity of both \(S_z\) and \(S_w\), which reduces the essential normality of \([I]_\alpha^\perp\) to the essential co-isometricity of \(S_z\) and \(S_w\). They introduce a Grassmannian structure for a class of quotient Hilbert modules and address the polydisc version of the Arveson-Douglas conjecture associated with distinguished varieties. They also obtain an operator-theoretic characterization of distinguished varieties in the bidisk in terms of the essential normality of the quotient modules. The essential Taylor spectrum of the quotient modules and the related \(K\)-homology are studied as well. They also discuss the decomposition of essentially normal quotient modules in terms of those with a lower weight index.
