Abstract:

The main objects under study are quotients of multiplier algebras of certain complete Nevanlinna–Pick spaces, examples of which include the Drury–Arveson space on the ball and the Dirichlet space on the disc. We are particularly interested in the non-commutative Choquet boundaries for these quotients. Arveson’s notion of hyperrigidity is shown to be detectable through the essential normality of some natural multiplication operators, thus extending previously known results on the Arveson–Douglas conjecture. We also highlight how the non-commutative Choquet boundaries of these quotients are intertwined with their Gelfand transforms being completely isometric. Finally, we isolate analytic and topological conditions on the so-called supports of the underlying ideals that clarify the nature of the non-commutative Choquet boundaries.
