Abstract

Fix a bounded planar domain Omega. If an operator T, in the Cowen-Douglas class B-1(Omega), admits the compact set Omega as a spectral set, then the curvature inequality K-T(w)<=-4 pi S-2(Omega)(w,w)(2), where S-Omega is the Szego kernel of the domain Omega, is evident. Except when Omega is simply connected, the existence of an operator for which K-T(w) = -4 pi S-2(Omega)(w,w)(2) for all w in Omega is not known. However, if w is a fixed but arbitrary point in Omega, then there exists a bundle shift of rank one, say S, depending on this w, such that K-s*(w) = -4 pi S-2(Omega)(w,w)(2). We prove that these extremal operators are uniquely determined. If T-1 and T-2 are two operators in B-1(Omega), each of which is the adjoint of a rank-one bundle shift, and K-T1(w) = -4 pi S-2(Omega)(w,w)(2) = KT2(w) for a fixed w in Omega, then T-1 and T-2 are unitarily equivalent. A surprising consequence is that the adjoints of only some of the bundle shifts of rank one occur as extremal operators in domains of connectivity greater than 1. These are described explicitly.
