An analytic model for left-invertible weighted shifts on directed trees

Abstract: Let

m a t h s c r T

be a rooted directed tree with finite branching index

k_{m a t h s c r T}

and let

S_{l a m b d a} i n B (l^{2} (V))

be a left-invertible weighted shift on

m a t h s c r T

. We show that

S_{l a m b d a}

can be modelled as a multiplication operator

m a t h s c r M_{z}

on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space

m a t h s c r H

of

E

-valued holomorphic functions on a disc centered at the origin, where

E := k e r S_{l a m b d a}^{*}

. The reproducing kernel associated with

m a t h s c r H

is multi-diagonal and of bandwidth

k_{m a t h s c r T} .

Moreover,

m a t h s c r H

admits an orthonormal basis consisting of polynomials in

z

with at most

k_{m a t h s c r T} + 1

non-zero coefficients. As one of the applications of this model, we give a complete spectral picture of

S_{l a m b d a} .

Unlike the case

d i m E = 1,

the approximate point spectrum of

S_{l a m b d a}

could be disconnected. We also obtain an analytic model for left-invertible weighted shifts on rootless directed trees with finite branching index.
