Abstract

It is known that the Invariant Subspace Problem for Hilbert spaces is equivalent to the statement that all minimal non-trivial invariant subspaces for a universal operator are one dimensional. In this paper, we characterize all linear fractional composition operators and their adjoints that have universal translates on the space \({S^2}(\mathbb{D})\). Moreover, we characterize all adjoints of linear fractional composition operators that have universal translates on the Hardy space \({H^2}(\mathbb{D})\). In addition, we consider the minimal invariant subspaces of the composition operator \({C_{{\varphi _a}}}\) on \({S^2}(\mathbb{D})\), where ϕa(z) = az + 1 − a, a ∈ (0, 1). Finally, some relationships between complex symmetry and universality for bounded linear operators and commuting pairs of operators on a complex separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space are explored.
