We study for which reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces it suffices to consider matrices of bounded size $n$. We connect this problem to the notion of subhomogeneity of non-selfadjoint operator algebras. Our main results show that multiplier algebras of many Hilbert spaces of analytic functions, such as the Dirichlet space and the Drury-Arveson space, are not subhomogeneous, and hence one has to test Pick matrices of arbitrarily large matrix size $n$. To treat the Drury-Arveson space, we show that multiplier algebras of certain weighted Dirichlet spaces on the disc embed completely isometrically into the multiplier algebra of the Drury-Arveson space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-08-03T16:04:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46E22", "47B32", "47L55" ], "keywords": [ "multiplier algebra", "multiplier tests", "reproducing kernel hilbert spaces", "drury-arveson space", "subhomogeneity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
