Abstract: A closed subspace is invariant under the Ces`aro operator $mathcalC$ on the classical Hardy space $H^2(mathbbD)$ if and only if its orthogonal complement is invariant under the $C_0$-semigroup of composition operators induced by the affine maps $varph{i}_t(z)=e^{-t}z+1-e^{-t}$ for $tgeq0$ and $zinmathbbD$. The corresponding result also holds in the Hardy spaces $H^p(mathbbD)$ for $1<p<infty$. Moreover, in the Hilbert space setting, by linking the invariant subspaces of $mathcalC$ to the lattice of the closed invariant subspaces of the standard right-shift semigroup acting on a particular weighted $L^2$-space on the line, we exhibit a large class of non-trivial closed invariant subspaces and provide a complete characterization of the finite codimensional ones, establishing, in particular, the limits of such an approach towards describing the lattice of all invariant subspaces of $mathcalC$. Finally, we present a functional calculus argument which allows us to extend a recent result by Mashreghi, Ptak and Ross regarding the square root of $mathcalC$, and discuss its invariant subspaces.
