Abstract

For a bounded region G C C and a compact set K C G, with area measure zero, we will characterize the invariant subspaces M (under f -> zf)of the Bergman space L^p_a(G \ K), 1 ≤ p < ∞, which contain L^p_a(G) and with dim(M/(z - λ)M) = 1 for all λϵ G \ K. When G \ K is connected, we will see that di\m(M /(z — λ)M) = 1 for all λ ϵ G \ K and thus in this case we will have a complete description of the invariant subspaces lying between L^p_a(G) and L^p_a (G \ K). When p = ∞, we will remark on the structure of the weak-star closed z-invariant subspaces between H^∞(G) and H^∞(G \ K). When G \ K is not connected, we will show that in general the invariant subspaces between L^p_a (G) and L^p_a(G \ K) are fantastically complicated. As an application of these results, we will remark on the complexity of the invariant subspaces (under f-> Cf) of certain Besov spaces on K. In particular, we shall see that in the harmonic Dirichlet space B¹₂(T), there are invariant subspaces F such that the dimension of (F in F is infinite.
