In this note, we give a new property of de Branges-Rovnyak kernels. As the main theorem, it is shown that the exponential of de Branges-Rovnyak kernel is strictly positive definite if the inner part of the corresponding Schur class function is nontrivial.
We characterize the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces with complete Nevanlinna-Pick property. Our method relies on the general theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
The notes provide a short introduction to de Branges--Rovnyak spaces. They cover some basic facts and are intended to give the reader a taste of the theory, providing sufficient motivation to make it interesting.
We study a general metric constrained interpolation problem in a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal{H}(K_S)$ associated with a contractive multiplier $S$ between two Fock spaces along with its commutative counterpart, a de Branges-Rovnyak space associated with a Schur multiplier on the Drury-Arveson space of the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^n$.
We study the compactness and the hypercyclicity of Toeplitz operators in the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces H(b) with co-analytic and bounded symbols on D. We highlight the fundamental role played by the function b generating the de Branges-Rovnyak space H(b). The characterization of compactness depends wether b is inner function or not and the characterization of hypercyclicity depends wether the function log(1-|b|) is integrable or not.
We show that de Branges-Rovnyak spaces include as special cases a number of spaces, such as the Hardy space, the Fock space, the Hardy-Sobolev space and the Dirichlet space. We present a general framework in which all these spaces can be obtained by specializing a sequence that appears in the construction. We show how to exploit this approach to solve interpolation problems in the Fock space.
A general interpolation problem with operator argument is studied for functions f from the de Branges-Rovnyak space H(s) associated with an analytic function s mapping the open unit disk D into the closed unit disk. The interpolation condition is taken in the Rosenblum-Rovnyak form f(A)c = b (with a suitable interpretation of f(A)c) for given Hilbert space operator A and two vectors b; c from the same space.
In this paper, we characterize the boundedness, the compactness and the Hilbert-Schmidt property for composition operators acting from a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal H(b)$ into itself, when $b$ is a rational function in the closed unit ball of $H^\infty$ (but not a finite Blaschke product). In particular, we extend some of the results obtained by D. Sarason and J.N. Silva in the context of local Dirichlet spaces.
We describe de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal H (b_α)$, $α>0$, where the function $b_α$ is not extreme in the unit ball of $H^{\infty}$ on the unit disk $\mathbb D$, defined by the equality $b_α(z)/a_α(z)=(1-z)^{-α}$, $z\in\mathbb D$, where $a_α$ is the outer function such that $a_α(0)>0$ and $|a_α|^2+|b_α|^2= 1$ a.e. on $\partial \mathbb D$.
Following ideas from the Abstract Interpolation Problem of Katsnelson et al. (Operators in spaces of functions and problems in function theory, vol 146, pp 83-69, Naukova Dumka, Keiv, 1987) for Schur class functions, we study a general metric constrained interpolation problem for functions from a vector-valued de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal{H}(K_S)$ associated with an operator-valued Schur class function $S$. A description of all solutions is obtained in terms of functions from an associated de Branges-Rovnyak space satisfying only a bound on the de Branges-Rovnyak-space norm. Attention is…
In most classical holomorphic function spaces on the unit disk, a function $f$ can be approximated in the norm of the space by its dilates $f\_r(z):=f(rz)~(r \textless{} 1)$. We show that this is \emph{not} the case for the de Branges--Rovnyak spaces $\cH(b)$. More precisely, we give an example of a non-extreme point $b$ of the unit ball of $H^\infty$ and a function $f\in\cH(b)$ such that $\lim\_{r\to1^-}\|f\_r\|\_{\cH(b)}=\infty$. It is known that, if $b$ is a non-extreme point of the unit ball of $H^\infty$, then polynomials are dense in $\cH(b)$. We give the first constructive proof of this…
For $b\in H^\infty_1$, the closed unit ball of $H^\infty$, the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(b)$ is a Hilbert space contractively contained in the Hardy space $H^2$ that is invariant by the backward shift operator $S^*$. We consider the reducing subspaces of the operator $S^{*2}|_{\mathcal{H}(b)}$. When $b$ is an inner function, $S^{*2}|_{\mathcal{H}(b)}$ is a truncated Toepltiz operator and its reducibility was characterized by Douglas and Foias using model theory. We use another approach to extend their result to the case where $b$ is extreme. We prove that if $b$ is extreme but not…
Using an explicit construction, we show that the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathscr{H}(b)$, corresponding to rational $b$, are contained in their associated Smirnov classes.

The Cauchy dual subnormality problem (for short, CDSP) asks whether the Cauchy dual of a $2$-isometry is subnormal. In this paper, we address this problem for cyclic $2$-isometries. In view of some recent developments in operator theory on function spaces (see \cite{AM, LGR}), one may recast CDSP as the problem of subnormality of the Cauchy dual $\mathscr M'_z$ of the multiplication operator $\mathscr M_z$ acting on a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal H(B),$ where $B$ is a vector-valued rational function. The main result of this paper characterizes the subnormality of $\mathscr M'_z$ on $\mat…
We show that there exists a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal{H}(b)$ on the unit disk containing a function $f$ with the following property: even though $f$ can be approximated by polynomials in $\mathcal{H}(b)$, neither the Taylor partial sums of $f$ nor their Cesàro, Abel, Borel or logarithmic means converge to $f$ in $\mathcal{H}(b)$. A key tool is a new abstract result showing that, if one regular summability method includes another for scalar sequences, then it automatically does so for certain Banach-space-valued sequences too.
We consider Dirichlet spaces with superharmonic weights. This class contains both the harmonic weights and the power weights. Our main result is a characterization of the Dirichlet spaces with superharmonic weights that can be identified as de Branges-Rovnyak spaces. As an application, we obtain the dilation inequality \[ {\cal D}_ω(f_r)\le \frac{2r}{1+r}{\cal D}_ω(f) \qquad(0\le r<1), \] where ${\cal D}_ω$ denotes the Dirichlet integral with superharmonic weight $ω$, and $f_r(z):=f(rz)$ is the $r$-dilation of the holomorphic function $f$.

We investigate expansive Hilbert space operators $T$ that are finite rank perturbations of isometric operators. If the spectrum of $T$ is contained in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, then such operators are of the form $T= U\oplus R$, where $U$ is isometric and $R$ is unitarily equivalent to the operator of multiplication by the variable $z$ on a de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal{H}(B)$. In fact, the space $\mathcal{H}(B)$ is defined in terms of a rational operator-valued Schur function $B$. In the case when $\dim \ker T^*=1$, then $\mathcal{H}(B)$ can be taken to be a space of …
In this paper, we study the cyclicity problem with respect to the forward shift operator $S_b$ acting on the de Branges--Rovnyak space $\mathscr{H}(b)$ associated to a function $b$ in the closed unit ball of $H^\infty$ and satisfying $\log(1-|b|)\in L^1(\mathbb T)$. We present a characterisation of cyclic vectors for $S_b$ when $b$ is a rational function which is not a finite Blaschke product. This characterisation can be derived from the description, given in [S. Luo, C. Gu, S. Richter, Higher order local Dirichlet integrals and de Branges--Rovnyak spaces, \emph{Adv. Math., \textbf{385} (2021…

We present a solution of the operator-valued Schur-function realization problem on the right-half plane by developing the corresponding de Branges-Rovnyak canonical conservative simple functional model. This model corresponds to the closely connected unitary model in the disk setting, but we work the theory out directly in the right-half plane, which allows us to exhibit structure which is absent in the disk case. A main feature of the study is that the connecting operator is unbounded, and so we need to make use of the theory of well-posed continuous-time systems. In order to strengthen the c…
In this paper we begin the study of Schur analysis and de Branges-Rovnyak spaces in the framework of Fueter hyperholomorphic functions. The difference with other approaches is that we consider the class of functions spanned by Appell-like polynomials. This approach is very efficient from various points of view, for example in operator theory, and allows to make connections with the recently developed theory of slice polyanalytic functions. We tackle a number of problems: we describe a Hardy space, Schur multipliers and related results. We also discuss Blaschke functions, Herglotz multipliers a…
Let $B_n$ denote the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^n$, $n\ge 1$, and let $\mathcal{D}$ denote a finite product of $B_{n_j}$, $j\ge 1$. Given a non-constant holomorphic function $b: \mathcal{D} \to B_1$, we study the corresponding family $σ_α[b]$, $α\in\partial B_1$, of Clark measures on the distinguished boundary $\partial\mathcal{D}$. We construct a natural unitary operator from the de Branges-Rovnyak space $\mathcal{H}(b)$ onto the Hardy space $H^2(σ_α)$. As an application, for $\mathcal{D}= B_n$ and an inner function $I: B_n \to B_1$, we show that the property $σ_1[I]\llσ_1[b]$ is directly relat…
For the class of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal{H}(b)$ of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ defined by extreme points $b$ of the unit ball of $H^\infty$, we study the problem of approximation of a general function in $\mathcal{H}(b)$ by a function with an extension to the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ of some degree of smoothness, for instance satisfying Hölder estimates or being differentiable. We will exhibit connections between this question and the theory of subnormal operators and, in particular, we will tie the possibility of smooth approximations to properties of invariant subspaces of a certa…
We apply the theory of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces to describe kernels of some Toeplitz operators on the classical Hardy space $H^2$. In particular, we discuss the kernels of the operators $T_{\bar f/ f}$ and $T_{\bar I\bar f/ f}$, where $f$ is an outer function in $H^2$ and $I$ is inner such that $I(0)=0$. We also obtain results on de Branges-Rovnyak spaces generated by nonextreme functions.
We study triplets of Hilbert space operators satisfying a certain inequality. A range inclusion theorem with norm estimate for those triplets is given with the language of Kre\uın space geometry and de Branges-Rovnyak space theory.
In this paper we extend vessel theory, or equivalently, the theory of overdetermined $2D$ systems to the Pontryagin space setting. We focus on realization theorems of the various characteristic functions associated to such vessels. In particular, we develop an indefinite version of de Branges-Rovnyak theory over real compact Riemann surfaces. To do so, we use the theory of contractions in Pontryagin spaces and the theory of analytic kernels with a finite number of negative squares. Finally, we utilize the indefinite de Branges-Rovnyak theory on compact Riemann surfaces in order to prove a Beur…
In this note, we describe the backward shift invariant subspaces for a large class of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. This class includes in particular de Branges-Rovnyak spaces (the non-extreme case) and the range space of co-analytic Toeplitz operators.
