On the Invariant Subspace Problem via Universal Toeplitz Operators on the Hardy Space Over the Bidisk

The invariant subspace problem (ISP) for Hilbert spaces asks if every bounded linear operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. Due to the existence of universal operators (in the sense of Rota) the ISP can be solved by proving that every minimal invariant subspace of a universal operator is one dimensional.

We then use this fact to obtain sufficient conditions for the ISP to be true.
