Beurling–Lax theorem

In mathematics, the Beurling–Lax theorem is a theorem due to (Beurling 1948) and (Lax 1959) which characterizes the shift-invariant subspaces of the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb{𝔻},\mathbb{ℂ})$. It states that each such space is of the form

$\theta H^2(\mathbb{𝔻},\mathbb{ℂ}),$

for some inner function $\theta$.
