Abstract

This paper deals with an operator theory approach to the corona conjecture for H∞([ ]n). Treil gave a counter-example to this conjecture in the case where n = 1 for operator-valued functions; thus one might hope to use this to disprove the corona conjecture for H∞([ ]n) (for n [ges ] 2). This paper shows that this natural approach towards a negative answer fails. On the other hand, the second result here shows that ‘commutant lifting’ cannot be true for more than two contractions for any constant. This obstructs a natural attempted proof of the corona conjecture for H∞([ ]n) (for n [ges ] 2) by our previous result.
