On the invariant subspace problem via universal Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space $H^{2}(\mathbb{D}^{2})$
The Invariant Subspace Problem (ISP) for Hilbert spaces asks if every bounded linear operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. Due to the existence of universal operators (in the sense of Rota) the ISP can be solved by proving that every minimal invariant subspace of a universal operator is one dimensional. In this paper, we obtain a nontrivial invariant subspace of $T^{*}_φ|_{M}$, where $T_φ$ is the Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space over the bidisk $H^{2}(\mathbb{D}^{2})$ induced by the symbol $φ\in H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$ and $M$ is a $T_φ^{*}$-invariant subspace. We use this fact to get sufficient conditions for the ISP.
