Abstract: Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every A-invariant operator is the compression to H of an unbounded linear transformation that commutes with the minimal unitary dilation of A. This result was proved by Sarason under the additional hypothesis that A is of class C_{00}, leading to an intrinsic characterization of the truncated Toeplitz operators. We also adapt to our more general context other results about truncated Toeplitz operators.

Review text

Let \(A\) be a contraction on a Hilbert space \(H\). An operator \(T\) on \(H\) is said to be \(A\)-invariant if \[ \langle Tx, x \rangle = \langle T A x, Ax \rangle \] for every \(x \in H\) such that \(\|Ax\| = \|x\|\). The paper mostly deals with contractions \(A\) such that \(I_H - A^* A\) and \(I_H - A A^*\) are rank-one operators. With this assumption, the authors prove that every \(A\)-invariant operator is the compression to \(H\) of an unbounded linear transformation that commutes with the (essentially unique in nature) minimal unitary dilation of \(A\). This was earlier observed by Sarason under the additional assumption that \(A\) is of class \(C_{00}\). The paper also draws some important observations concerning model spaces, truncated Toeplitz operators, and complex symmetric operators. The root of this work goes back to the seminal papers by \textit{D. Sarason} [Oper. Matrices 1, No. 4, 491--526 (2007; Zbl 1144.47026); Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 127, 179--203 (1967; Zbl 0145.39303)].
