Topological isomorphisms for some universal operator algebras

Publication date 13 December 2012

Abstract: Let

I s u b s e t m a t h b b C [z_{1}, ..., z_{d}]

be a radical homogeneous ideal, and let

m a t h c a l A_{I}

be the norm-closed non-selfadjoint algebra generated by the compressions of the

d

-shift on Drury-Arveson space

H_{d}^{2}

to the co-invariant subspace

H_{d}^{2} o m i n u s I

. Then

m a t h c a l A_{I}

is the universal operator algebra for commuting row contractions subject to the relations in

I

. We ask under which conditions are there topological isomorphisms between two such algebras

m a t h c a l A_{I}

and

m a t h c a l A_{J}

? We provide a positive answer to a conjecture of Davidson, Ramsey and Shalit:

m a t h c a l A_{I}

and

m a t h c a l A_{J}

are topologically isomorphic if and only if there is an invertible linear map

A

on

m a t h b b C^{d}

which maps the vanishing locus of

J

isometrically onto the vanishing locus of

I

. Most of the proof is devoted to showing that finite algebraic sums of full Fock spaces over subspaces of

m a t h b b C^{d}

are closed. This allows us to show that the map

A

induces a completely bounded isomorphism between

m a t h c a l A_{I}

and

m a t h c a l A_{J}

.
