Invariant subspace lattices for a class of operators

Boon-Hua Ong

Vol. 94 (1981), No. 2, 385–405
Abstract

We study the invariant subspace lattices for a one parameter family of operators {Tα}α on Lp(0,1), α a complex number, where

                 ∫
x
Tαf(x) = xf(x)+ α 0 f(t)dt,

and their adjoints Tα,

                 ∫ 1
T∗αf(x) = xf(x)+ α   f(t)dt.
x

The closed invariant subspaces for Tα are in one-to-one correspondence with certain closed ideals of α, where α is a Silov algebra with unit and in which the range α of the Riemann Liouville operator Jα

(Jαf(x) =----    (x − t)α−1f(t)dt)

is embedded as a closed ideal. When n is a positive integer, there is a complete lattice isomorphism between the closed ideals of n and the n-tuples (E0,E1,,En1) of closed subsets of [0,1] where E0 E1 En1 derived set of E0. Every closed ideal of n is the intersection of closed primary ideals. Similar results carry over to α where the real part of α is an integer and also to the adjoint operators.
