Abstract

Motivated by a recent work of G. Knese [Canad. Math. Bull., 2026], we introduce the operator-valued Schur-Agler class in infinitely many variables, consisting of functions whose restrictions to every finite-dimensional polydisk lie in the operator-valued Schur-Agler class. We first establish an operator-valued analogue of Montel's theorem and, using it as a key ingredient, establish an Agler decomposition and a realization formula for functions in this class. The series in the Agler decomposition converges in the strong operator topology, and we show that this convergence cannot, in general, be strengthened to norm convergence. The realization formula yields a holomorphic extension of every function in the operator-valued Schur-Agler class to $\mathrm{Ball}(\ell^\infty)$, the open unit ball of $\ell^\infty$. Finally, as an application, we prove an Agler-Pick interpolation theorem in infinitely many variables.

Beurling and Model subspaces invariant under a universal operator

We classify the Beurling and model subspaces of the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb D)$ that are invariant under the composition operators $C_{ϕ_a}$, where $ϕ_a(z)=az+1-a$ and $0<a<1$. These operators have universal translates in the sense of Rota and provide a function-theoretic approach to the Hilbert space Invariant Subspace Problem. For each fixed $a$, a Beurling subspace $ΘH^2$ is invariant precisely when \[ Θ(z)=λB(z)\exp\left(-c\,\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right), \qquad |λ|=1,\quad c\ge0, \] where $B$ is a possibly constant Blaschke product satisfying $m_B(w)\le m_B(ϕ_a(w))$ for every $w\in\mathbb D$, with $m_B$ denoting zero multiplicity. For every affine self-map $ϕ(z)=αz+β$ with $0<|α|<1$, we show that the nonzero invariant model spaces are exactly the spaces of polynomials of bounded degree. We also recover the corresponding Beurling and model subspace classifications for the classical Cesàro operator. Finally, we characterize when a cyclic invariant subspace contains a nonzero function analytic across $1$ through its intersections with model spaces whose boundary spectra omit $1$, and exhibit an infinite-dimensional cyclic subspace containing an eigenvector but no such analytic function.

Connectedness properties of small minimal clusters in Riemannian or Finsler manifolds

We prove that in a compact Riemannian manifold, the $m$-minimal clusters of sufficiently small total volume are connected and with small diameter, while in a more general Finsler manifold they are done by at most $m$ connected components of small diameter. We apply these results to calculate the asymptotic expansion of the multi-isoperimetric profile at the first nontrivial order, for small volumes.

Connections between Essential Norm, Bhatia-Šemrl Property and Strong Subdifferentiability of Operators on Banach Spaces

We study Birkhoff-James orthogonality in spaces of bounded linear operators between Banach spaces through the Bhatia-Šemrl property. We investigate the interplay among three key properties of bounded linear operators: strong subdifferentiability, the Bhatia-Šemrl property, and the condition that the essential norm is strictly less than the operator norm. If $X$ is a Banach space with a $1$-unconditional basis and $Y$ is any Banach space, we show that every nonzero operator $T \in B(X, Y)$ satisfying the Bhatia-Šemrl property satisfies $\|T\|_e<\|T\|$. We identify a class of pairs of Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ for which the inequality $\|T\|_e<\|T\|$ can be characterized in terms of strong subdifferentiability of the operator norm at $T$ and compactness of the norm attainment set of $T$. We also study norm one projections satisfying the Bhatia-Šemrl property and provide examples of operators that possess this property.
