The scalar de Branges--Rovnyak spaces $\\mathcal{H}(b)$ have essentially different properties, according to whether the defining function $b$ is or not extreme in the unit ball of $H^\\infty$. For $b$ extreme the model space is just $\\mathcal{H}(b)$, while for $b$ nonextreme an additional construction is required. In the present paper we identify the precise class of contractions which have as a model $\\mathcal{H}(b)$ with $b$ nonextreme.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-12-04T21:32:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47A45", "47B35" ], "keywords": [ "branges-rovnyak spaces", "nonextreme", "contractions", "alternate functional model", "precise class" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1312.1362M" } } }
