Helson-Lowdenslager and de Branges type theorems in the setting of continuous rotationally symmetric norms

Abstract: A Helson-Lowdenslager type result has been proved by Chen in the context of Lebesgue spaces of the unit circle equipped with a continuous rotationally symmetric norm by studying the simply invariant subspaces of the operator of multiplication by the coordinate function $z$. In this paper, we generalize Chen's result by obtaining a description of simply invariant subspaces for multiplication by $z^n$. A de Branges type result is also proved for Hardy spaces equipped with continuous rotationally symmetric norms.
