Submodules of the Hardy module over the polydisc

Abstract: We say that a submodule

c l s

of

H^{2} (m a t h b b D^{n})

(

n > 1

) is co-doubly commuting if the quotient module

H^{2} (m a t h b b D^{n}) / c l s

is doubly commuting. We show that a co-doubly commuting submodule of

H^{2} (m a t h b b D^{n})

is essentially doubly commuting if and only if the corresponding one variable inner functions are finite Blaschke products or that

n = 2

. In particular, a co-doubly commuting submodule

c l s

of

H^{2} (m a t h b b D^{n})

is essentially doubly commuting if and only if

n = 2

or that

c l s

is of finite co-dimension. We obtain an explicit representation of the Beurling-Lax-Halmos inner functions for those submodules of

H_{H^{2} (m a t h b b D^{n - 1})}^{2} (m a t h b b D)

which are co-doubly commuting submodules of

H^{2} (m a t h b b D^{n})

. Finally, we prove that a pair of co-doubly commuting submodules of

H^{2} (m a t h b b D^{n})

are unitarily equivalent if and only if they are equal.
