Abstract
Let M be an invariant subspace of \(H^2\) over the bi-disk and \(N=H^2\ominus M\). Let \(S_{z,N},S_{w,N}\) be the compression of the multiplication operators \(T_z,T_w\) on \(H^2\) onto N. For a two-variable inner function \(\theta \), let \(M_\theta = \theta M\) and \(N_\theta =H^2\ominus M_\theta \). We shall study the relationship of the ranks of the cross-commutators \([S_{z,N},S^*_{w,N}]\) and \([S_{z,N_\theta },S^*_{w,N_\theta }]\). We also characterize M such that rank \([S_{z,N},S^*_{w,N}]\) \(\not =\) rank \([S_{z,N_\theta },S^*_{w,N_\theta }]\) for any non-constant inner function \(\theta \).
