Module tensor product of subnormal modules need not be subnormal

Abstract: Let

k a p p a : m a t h b b D i m e s m a t h b b D o m a t h b b C

be a diagonal positive definite kernel and let

m a t h s c r H_{k a p p a}

denote the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the open unit disc

m a t h b b D

. Assume that

z f i n m a t h s c r H

whenever

f i n m a t h s c r H .

Then

m a t h s c r H

is a Hilbert module over the polynomial ring

m a t h b b C [z]

with module action

p c d o t f m a p s t o p f

. We say that

m a t h s c r H_{k a p p a}

is a subnormal Hilbert module if the operator

m a t h s c r M_{z}

of multiplication by the coordinate function

z

on

m a t h s c r H_{k a p p a}

is subnormal. %If

k a p p a_{1}

and

k a p p a_{2}

are two diagonal positive definite kernels then so is their pointwise (tensor) product

k a p p a := k a p p a_{1} k a p p a_{2}

. In [Oper. Theory Adv. Appl, 32: 219-241, 1988], N. Salinas asked whether the module tensor product

m a t h s c r H_{k a p p a_{1}} o t i m e s_{m a t h b b C [z]} m a t h s c r H_{k a p p a_{2}}

of subnormal Hilbert modules

m a t h s c r H_{k a p p a_{1}}

and

m a t h s c r H_{k a p p a_{2}}

is again subnormal. In this regard, we describe all subnormal module tensor products

L_{a}^{2} (m a t h b b D, w_{s_{1}}) o t i m e s_{m a t h b b C [z]} L_{a}^{2} (m a t h b b D, w_{s_{2}})

, where

L_{a}^{2} (m a t h b b D, w_{s})

denotes the weighted Bergman Hilbert module with radial weight

w_s(z)=frac{1}{s pi}|z|^{frac{2(1-s)}{s}}~(z in mathbb D, ~s > 0).

In particular, the module tensor product

L_{a}^{2} (m a t h b b D, w_{s}) o t i m e s_{m a t h b b C [z]} L_{a}^{2} (m a t h b b D, w_{s})

is never subnormal for any

s g e q 6

. Thus the answer to this question is no.
