The harmonic functional calculus and hyperreflexivity. (Q701241)

Let \(\mathcal H\) be a complex, separable Hilbert space and let \({\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators from \({\mathcal H}\) into itself. Assume that \(T\) is a contraction in \({\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) which is absolutely continuous. It is well-known that \(T\) has a functional calculus \(\phi(T)\) for bounded Borel functions \(\phi\). The main result of this paper is that if the functional calculus \(\xi: L^\infty\to{\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})\) given by \(\xi(\phi) = \phi(T)\) is isometric on \(H^\infty\), then \(\phi\) is isometric on \(L^\infty\), the range \({\mathcal T}(T)\) of \(\xi\) is weak* closed, and \(\phi\) is a weak* homeomorphism from \(L_\infty\) onto \({\mathcal T}(T)\). As an application, the authors show that if \(T\) has an isometric \(H^\infty\) functional calculus and is in the so-called class \(C_{00}\), then the range of the functional calculus is a hyperreflexive subspace of operators.
