Nonextreme de Branges-Rovnyak spaces as models for contractions
The de Branges--Rovnyak spaces are known to provide an alternate functional
model for contractions on a Hilbert space, equivalent to the Sz.-Nagy--Foias
model. The scalar de Branges--Rovnyak spaces have essentially
different properties, according to whether the defining function is or not
extreme in the unit ball of . For extreme the model space is just
, while for nonextreme an additional construction is
required. In the present paper we identify the precise class of contractions
which have as a model with nonextreme.Comment: 15v page
