In terms of reproducing kernels this it the most far-reaching generalization of the classical de Branges-Rovnyaks spaces, as well as their very recent generalization to several variables. This includes the so called sub-Bergman spaces in one or several variables. We study some general properties of $\\mathcal{H}_k(b)$ e.g. when the inclusion map into $\\mathcal{H}$ is compact. Our main result provides a model for $\\mathcal{H}_k(b)$ reminiscent of the Sz.-Nagy-Foia\\c{s} model for contractions. As an application we obtain sufficient conditions for the containment and density of the linear span of $\\{k_w:w\\in\\mathcal{X}\\}$ in $\\mathcal{H}_k(b)$. In the standard cases this reduces to containment and density of polynomials. These methods resolve a very recent conjecture regarding polynomial approximation in spaces with kernel $\\frac{(1-b(z)b(w)^*)^m}{(1-z\\overline w)^\\beta}, 1\\leq m<\\beta, m\\in\\mathbb{N}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-05-11T13:48:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "branges-rovnyak spaces", "reproducing kernel", "conjecture regarding polynomial approximation", "study spaces", "generalization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
