If $b$ is an inner function, then composition with $b$ induces an
endomorphism, $\beta$, of $L^\infty(\mathbb{T})$ that leaves
$H^\infty(\mathbb{T})$ invariant. We investigate the structure of the
endomorphisms of $B(L^2(\mathbb{T}))$ and $B(H^2(\mathbb{T}))$ that implement
$\beta$ through the representations of $L^\infty(\mathbb{T})$ and
$H^\infty(\mathbb{T})$ in terms of multiplication operators on
$L^2(\mathbb{T})$ and $H^2(\mathbb{T})$. Our analysis, which is based on work
of R. Rochberg and J. McDonald, will wind its way through the theory of
composition operators on spaces of analytic functions to recent work on Cuntz
families of isometries and Hilbert $C^*$-modules
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
