Lemma 6.8. If \( 1 < p < \infty \) and if \( w{\left( x\right) }^{\prime } \) satisfies \( \left( {A}_{p}\right) \), then\n\n(a) \( w\left( x\right) \) satisfies \( \left( {A}_{r}\right) \) for all \( r > p \), and\n\n(b) the weight \( {\left( 1/w\right) }^{1/\left( {p - 1}\right) } \) satisfies \( \left( {A}_{q}\right...
Proof. For (a) note that \( 1/\left( {r - 1}\right) < 1/\left( {p - 1}\right) \), so that by Hölder’s inequality\n\n\[ \n\frac{1}{\left| I\right| }{\int }_{I}{\left( \frac{1}{w}\right) }^{1/\left( {r - 1}\right) }{dx} \leq {\left( \frac{1}{\left| I\right| }{\int }_{I}{\left( \frac{1}{w}\right) }^{1/\left( {p - 1}\right...

Corollary 6.10. If \( 1 < p < \infty \) and if the weight \( w\left( x\right) \) satisfies the \( \left( {A}_{p}\right) \) condition, then\n\n(a) there are \( \delta > 0 \) and \( C > 0 \) such that, for any interval \( I \), \n\n\[ \n{\left( \frac{1}{\left| I\right| }{\int }_{I}w{\left( x\right) }^{1 + \delta }dx\righ...
Proof. To prove part (a) we can assume that \( p > 2 \), because of Lemma 6.8(a).

Lemma 6.11. If \( w\left( x\right) \) satisfies \( \left( {A}_{p}\right) \) for some \( p < \infty \), then \( {d\mu } = w\left( x\right) {dx} \) satisfies \( \left( {\mathrm{A}}_{\infty }\right) \) .

Lemma 1.2. Let \( B\left( z\right) \) be the Blaschke product in the upper half plane with zeros \( \left\{ {z}_{j}\right\} \) . Then\n\n\[ - \log {\left| B\left( z\right) \right| }^{2} \geq \mathop{\sum }\limits_{j}\frac{{4y}{y}_{j}}{{\left| z - {\bar{z}}_{j}\right| }^{2}},\;z = x + {iy}. \]
Proof. The inequality \( - \log t \geq 1 - t, t > 0 \), gives\n\n\[ - \log {\left| \frac{z - {z}_{j}}{z - {\bar{z}}_{j}}\right| }^{2} \geq 1 - {\left| \frac{z - {z}_{j}}{z - {\bar{z}}_{j}}\right| }^{2} = \frac{{4y}{y}_{j}}{{\left| z - {\bar{z}}_{j}\right| }^{2}}. \]\n\nSumming now gives (1.9).

Proof for \( p \leq 2 \) . The case \( p \leq 2 \) is easier because it is only Hölder’s inequality in disguise. Let \( {X}_{j}\left( \omega \right) = {\omega }_{j}, j = 1,2,\ldots, n \) .

Theorem 1.2. If \( A \) is a closed subalgebra of \( {L}^{\infty } \) containing \( {H}^{\infty } \), then its maximal ideal space \( {\mathfrak{M}}_{A} \) can be identified with a closed subset of \( \mathfrak{M} \) which contains \( X \), and \( X \) is the Silov boundary of \( A \) .
Proof. We can identify \( X \) with a closed subset of \( {\mathfrak{M}}_{A} \) because \( A \) is a closed subalgebra of \( {L}^{\infty } = C\left( X\right) \) and, since \( A \supset {H}^{\infty }, A \) separates the points of \( X \) .

Theorem 1.2.9 (Toeplitz-Hausdorff Theorem). The numerical range of a bounded linear operator is a convex subset of the complex plane.
Proof. There are several well-known elementary proofs of this theorem (cf. [27, p. 113], [80]).

Example 1.2.10. If \( A \) is a finite diagonal matrix\n\n\[ A = \left( \begin{matrix} {d}_{1} & 0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ 0 & {d}_{2} & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & {d}_{3} & \cdots & 0 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ 0 & 0 & \cdots & \cdots & {d}_{n} \end{matrix}\right) \]\n\nthen \( W\left( A\right) \) is ...
Proof. If \( f = \left( {{f}_{1},{f}_{2},{f}_{3},\ldots ,{f}_{n}}\right) \), then \( \left( {{Af}, f}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i = 1}}^{n}{d}_{i}{\left| {f}_{i}\right| }^{2} \).\n\nThus, in the case of finite diagonal matrices, the numerical range is the convex hull of the spectrum of \( A \) .

For every operator \( A,\sigma \left( A\right) \subset \overline{W\left( A\right) } \) (i.e., the closure of the numerical range).
As was mentioned above, \( \sigma \left( A\right) = \Pi \left( A\right) \cup \Gamma \left( A\right) \) (by Theorem 1.2.6). We first prove that \( \Pi \left( A\right) \subset \overline{W\left( A\right) } \) . Let \( \lambda \in \Pi \left( A\right) \) . Then there exists a sequence \( \left\{ {f}_{n}\right\} \) in \( \ma...

Theorem 1.2.12. If \( A \) is normal, then \( \overline{W\left( A\right) } \) (the closure of the numerical range of \( A \) ) is the convex hull of \( \sigma \left( A\right) \) .
Proof. By one form of the spectral theorem ([12, p. 272], [41, p. 13], [42, p. 246]), we may assume that \( A \) is multiplication by an \( {\mathbf{L}}^{\infty }\left( {X,{d\mu }}\right) \) function \( \phi \) acting on a space \( {\mathbf{L}}^{2}\left( {X,{d\mu }}\right) \) for some measurable subset \( X \) of the c...

Theorem 1.2.20. Let \( A \) be a bounded linear operator. Then \( \mathcal{M} \in \operatorname{Lat}A \) if and only if \( {\mathcal{M}}^{ \bot } \in \operatorname{Lat}{A}^{ * } \) .
Proof. This follows immediately from the fact that, for \( f \in \mathcal{M} \) and \( g \in {\mathcal{M}}^{ \bot } \) , \( \left( {{Af}, g}\right) = \left( {f,{A}^{ * }g}\right) .

Theorem 1.2.23. If \( \mathcal{M} \in \operatorname{Lat}A \) and \( P \) is the projection onto \( \mathcal{M} \), then \( {AP} = \) PAP. Conversely, if \( P \) is a projection and \( {AP} = {PAP} \), then \( P\mathcal{H} \in \operatorname{Lat}A \) .
Proof. Let \( \mathcal{M} \in \operatorname{Lat}A \) and \( P \) be the projection onto \( \mathcal{M} \) . If \( f \in \mathcal{H} \) then \( {Pf} \in \mathcal{M} \) and therefore \( {APf} \) is contained in \( A\mathcal{M} \) . Since \( A\mathcal{M} \subset \mathcal{M} \) it follows that \( P\left( {APf}\right) = {AP...

Theorem 1.2.25. Let \( P \) be the projection onto the subspace \( \mathcal{M} \). Then \( \mathcal{M} \) is a reducing subspace for \( A \) if and only if \( {PA} = {AP} \). Also, \( \mathcal{M} \) reduces \( A \) if and only if \( \mathcal{M} \) is invariant under both \( A \) and \( {A}^{ * } \).
Proof. If \( \mathcal{M} \) is a reducing subspace, then \( \mathcal{M} \) and \( {\mathcal{M}}^{ \bot } \) are invariant under \( A \). If \( P \) is the projection onto \( \mathcal{M} \), it is easily seen that \( I - P \) is the projection onto \( {\mathcal{M}}^{ \bot } \). The previous theorem then implies \( A\lef...

Theorem 1.2.28. (i) If \( A \) is an operator of rank 1, then there exist \( f \) and \( g \) in \( \mathcal{H} \) with \( A = f \otimes g \) .
Proof of (i): Let \( f \) be any nonzero vector in the range of \( A \) . Since the range of \( A \) is one-dimensional, there is a bounded linear functional \( \lambda \) such that \( {Ah} = \lambda \left( h\right) f \) for all vectors \( h \) . By the Riesz representation theorem ([12, p. 13],[28, pp. 31-32],[55, p. ...

Theorem 2.1.2. (i) The unilateral shift is an isometry (i.e., \( \parallel {Uf}\parallel = \parallel f\parallel \) for all \( f \in {\ell }^{2} \) ).
Proof. To prove (i), we must show that \( \begin{Vmatrix}\left( {{a}_{0},{a}_{1},{a}_{2},\ldots }\right) \end{Vmatrix} = \begin{Vmatrix}\left( {0,{a}_{0},{a}_{1},{a}_{2},\ldots }\right) \end{Vmatrix} \) .

Theorem 2.1.5. (i) The bilateral shift is a unitary operator.
Proof. It is clear that \( \parallel {Wx}\parallel = \parallel x\parallel \) for all \( x \in {\ell }^{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \), and thus \( W \) is an isometry. Define the bounded linear operator \( A \) by\n\n\[ A\left( {\ldots ,{a}_{-2},{a}_{-1},{\mathbf{a}}_{\mathbf{0}},{a}_{1},{a}_{2},\ldots }\right) = \left(...

Theorem 2.1.6. Let \( U \) be the unilateral shift on \( {\ell }^{2} \) and let \( {U}^{ * } \) be its adjoint. Then \( {\Pi }_{0}\left( {U}^{ * }\right) = \mathbb{D} \) . Furthermore, for \( \lambda \) in \( \mathbb{D},\left( {{U}^{ * } - \lambda }\right) f = 0 \) for a vector \( f \) in \( {\ell }^{2} \) if and only ...
Proof. Observe first that, since \( \begin{Vmatrix}{U}^{ * }\end{Vmatrix} = \parallel U\parallel = 1 \), the spectral radius formula (Theorem 1.2.4) implies that \( {\Pi }_{0}\left( {U}^{ * }\right) \subset \sigma \left( {U}^{ * }\right) \subset \overline{\mathbb{D}} \) .\n\nIf \( \left| \lambda \right| < 1 \), then th...

Theorem 2.1.9. The operator \( {M}_{z} \) on \( {\mathbf{H}}^{2} \) is unitarily equivalent to the unilateral shift.

Theorem 2.1.11. The operator \( {M}_{{e}^{i\theta }} \) on \( {\mathbf{L}}^{2} \) is unitarily equivalent to the bilateral shift \( W \) on \( {\ell }^{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \), and the operator \( {M}_{{e}^{-{i\theta }}} \) is unitarily equivalent to \( {W}^{ * } \)
Proof. If \( V \) is the unitary operator mapping \( {\ell }^{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \) onto \( {\mathbf{L}}^{2} \) given by\n\n\[ \nV\left( {\ldots ,{a}_{-2},{a}_{-1},{\mathbf{a}}_{\mathbf{0}},{a}_{1},{a}_{2},\ldots }\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = - \infty }}^{\infty }{a}_{n}{e}^{in\theta }, \n\]\n\nit is e...

Theorem 2.1.12. The operator \( {M}_{{e}^{i\theta }} \) leaves the subspace \( {\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} \) of \( {\mathbf{L}}^{2} \) invariant and the restriction of \( {M}_{{e}^{i\theta }} \) to \( {\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} \) is the unilateral shift on \( {\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} \) . On \( {\ell }^{2}\lef...

Theorem 2.2.1. The only reducing subspaces of the unilateral shift are \( \{ 0\} \) and the entire space.
Proof. This is easily proven using any representation of \( U \) . Suppose \( \mathcal{M} \) is a subspace of \( {\ell }^{2} \) that reduces \( U \) and is different from \( \{ 0\} \) . We must show that \( \mathcal{M} = {\ell }^{2} \n\nSince \( \mathcal{M} \neq \{ 0\} \), it follows that there exists a nonzero vector\...

Theorem 2.2.4. If \( \phi \) is a function in \( {\mathbf{L}}^{\infty } \), then \( \begin{Vmatrix}{M}_{\phi }\end{Vmatrix} = \parallel \phi {\parallel }_{\infty } \) .

Since \( \left| {\phi \left( {e}^{i\theta }\right) }\right| \leq \parallel \phi {\parallel }_{\infty } \) a.e., it follows that\n\n\[ \n{\begin{Vmatrix}{M}_{\phi }f\end{Vmatrix}}^{2} = \frac{1}{2\pi }{\int }_{0}^{2\pi }{\left| \phi \left( {e}...

Corollary 2.2.6. The reducing subspaces of the bilateral shift on \( {\mathbf{L}}^{2} \) are the subspaces \[ {\mathcal{M}}_{E} = \left\{ {f \in {\mathbf{H}}^{2} : f\left( {e}^{i\theta }\right) = 0\text{ a.e. on }E}\right\} \] for measurable subsets \( E \subset {S}^{1} \) .
Proof. Fix any measurable subset \( E \) of \( {S}^{1} \) and let \[ {\mathcal{M}}_{E} = \left\{ {f \in {\mathbf{H}}^{2} : f\left( {e}^{i\theta }\right) = 0\text{ a.e. on }E}\right\} . \] If \( f\left( {e}^{i{\theta }_{0}}\right) = 0 \), then \( {e}^{i{\theta }_{0}}f\left( {e}^{i{\theta }_{0}}\right) = 0 \), so \( {\ma...

Theorem 2.2.8. If \( \left| {{\phi }_{1}\left( {e}^{i\theta }\right) }\right| = \left| {{\phi }_{2}\left( {e}^{i\theta }\right) }\right| = 1 \), a.e., then \( {\phi }_{1}{\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} = {\phi }_{2}{\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} \) if and only if there is a constant \( c \) of modulus 1 such that \( {\phi }...
Proof. Clearly \( {\phi }_{1}{\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} = c{\phi }_{1}{\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} \) when \( \left| c\right| = 1 \) .

Theorem 2.2.10. If \( \phi \) is a nonconstant inner function, then \( \left| {\phi \left( z\right) }\right| < 1 \) for all \( z \in \mathbb{D} \) .

No
Theorem 2.2.11. Let \( \phi \in {\mathbf{H}}^{2} \) . If \( \left| {\widetilde{\phi }\left( {e}^{i\theta }\right) }\right| = 1 \) a.e., then \( \phi \) is an inner function.
Proof. It only needs to be shown that \( \phi \in {\mathbf{H}}^{\infty } \) ; this follows from Corollary 1.1.24.

Corollary 2.2.12 (Beurling's Theorem). Every invariant subspace of the unilateral shift other than \( \{ 0\} \) has the form \( \phi {\mathbf{H}}^{2} \), where \( \phi \) is an inner function.
Proof. The unilateral shift is the restriction of multiplication by \( {e}^{i\theta } \) to \( {\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} \), so if \( \mathcal{M} \) is an invariant subspace of the unilateral shift, it is an invariant subspace of the bilateral shift contained in \( {\widetilde{\mathbf{H}}}^{2} \) . Thus, by Theorem ...

Corollary 2.2.13. Every invariant subspace of the unilateral shift is cyclic. (See Definition 1.2.17.)

Theorem 2.3.2. If \( F \) is an outer function, then \( F \) has no zeros in \( \mathbb{D} \) .
Proof. If \( F\left( {z}_{0}\right) = 0 \), then \( \left( {{U}^{n}F}\right) \left( {z}_{0}\right) = {z}_{0}^{n}F\left( {z}_{0}\right) = 0 \) for all \( n \) . Since the limit of a sequence of functions in \( {\mathbf{H}}^{2} \) that all vanish at \( {z}_{0} \) must also vanish at \( {z}_{0} \) (Theorem 1.1.9), \[ \mat...

Theorem 2.3.4. If \( f \) is a function in \( {\mathbf{H}}^{2} \) that is not identically zero, then \( f = {\phi F} \), where \( \phi \) is an inner function and \( F \) is an outer function. This factorization is unique up to constant factors.
Proof. Let \( f \in {\mathbf{H}}^{2} \) and consider \( \mathop{\bigvee }\limits_{{n = 0}}^{\infty }\left\{ {{U}^{n}f}\right\} \) . If this span is \( {\mathbf{H}}^{2} \), then \( f \) is outer by definition, and we can take \( \phi \) to be the constant function 1 and \( F = f \) to obtain the desired conclusion.\n\nI...
