Abstract

For μ a compactly supported measure on ℂ, we construct a mutually absolutely continuous measure ν so thatP 2(ν) has analytic bounded point evaluations, and the operator of multiplication byz onP 2(ν) has every invariant subspace hyperinvariant. We also construct an equivalent measure σ so thatR 2(K, σ) has as analytic bounded point evaluations precisely the interior of the set of weak-star continuous point evaluations ofR (K, μ). In the course of the proof, we classify weak-star closed super-algebras ofR (K, μ) whenR(K) is hypo-Dirichlet.
