Let D denote the open unit disc and let T denote the boundary \(\{\) \(z\in {\mathbb{C}}:| z| =1\}\). let \(D^-\) denote the closure of D. Let X be a Banach subspace of the space of (germs of) functions holomorphic on neighborhoods of \(D^-\). In this paper the authors consider five important problems in the theory of invariant subspaces in Banach spaces of analytic functions. Four of these problems are as follows. Problem 1: Characterize the invariant subspaces of X. Problem 2: Let \({\mathcal F}\) be a collection of functions in X, and let I(\({\mathcal F})\) be the smallest invariant subspace of X containing \({\mathcal F}\). When is I(\({\mathcal F},X)=X?\) Problem 3: Let \(f\in X\), and let I(f,X) be the smallest invariant subspace of X containing f. When is \(I(f,X)=X?\) It is customary to say that f is cyclic, if \(I(f,X)=X\). By Beurling's invariant subspace theorem a function f in \(H^ 2\) is cyclic in \(H^ 2\) if and only if it is an outer function. In connection with Problem 3, the authors prove that if an outer function is in the Dirichlet space and in the disc algebra, and if the boundary zero set of f is a Bergman-Smirnov exceptional set, then f is cyclic in the Dirichlet space. They also establish a similar result concerning Problem 2. In addition, the authors show that every closed countable subset of T is a Bergman-Smirnov exceptional set. The question (cf. Problem 4) whether every closed subset of T of logarithmic capacity zero is a Bergman-Smirnov exceptional set remains open.
