A new perspective on Riemann surfaces and von Neumann algebras via thin Blaschke products
Abstract
In 2014, K.Guo and the second author constructed the first example of an infinite Blaschke product B (a thin Blaschke product), for which the associated multiplication operator MB is irreducible on the Bergman space La2(๐ป) over the unit disk ๐ป. We take a substantial step forward toward characterizing the irreducibility of the operator MB on La2(๐ป), or equivalently, the trivialness of the von Neumann algebra {MB,MB*}'. This characterization indicates a close connection with the primeness of B and with the two-component property of the Riemann surface ๐ฎB associated with B. The approach is built upon a nested family of connected components of the sublevel set {zโ ๐ป:|B(z)|<t} for 0<t<1, which captures the function-theoretic and geometric feature of B.
