Conjecture on conjugation-invariant matrix representations of truncated Toeplitz operators

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let MM be a complex symmetric matrix, and suppose that MM is unitarily equivalent to a truncated Toeplitz operator (TTO). Let BB be an inner function, let KBK_B be the corresponding model space, and let CBC_B denote its canonical conjugation. A basis of KBK_B is CBC_B-real if it is fixed by CBC_B. Conjugation-invariant representation conjecture. There exist an inner function BB and a CBC_B-real basis for KBK_B such that MM is the matrix representation of a TTO on KBK_B with respect to this basis; equivalently, every unitary equivalence between a complex symmetric matrix and a TTO arises from a CBC_B-real matrix representation. The conjecture concerns whether arbitrary unitary equivalences can be realized through the canonical conjugation associated with a model space; the supplied text gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
