Jan 6, 2011 at 1:22 comment added Zen Harper Sorry I can't find the reference - maybe an expert can supply it? Since about 1990(?), the general invariant subspace problem is known to be equivalent to a special case. Let $L^2_a(D)$ be the Bergman space of analytic functions on the unit disc $D = \{ |z|<1 \}$, with squared norm the area integral $\| f \|^2 = \frac{1}{\pi}\int\int_D |f(z)|^2 dA(z)$, and the linear operator $M$ is just $(Mf)(z) = z f(z)$. Similarly to David Feldman's comment, it is not $M$ itself, but the restriction of $M$ to subspaces, which is important; but the subspaces themselves have no simple description.

Dec 20, 2010 at 8:31 comment added David Feldman This paper maths.leeds.ac.uk/~pmt6jrp/op_de_composition_rev.pdf gives examples of concrete operators which "all their invariant subspaces have themselves have non-trivial invariant subspaces" implies that every bounded operator on Hilbert space has an invariant subspace. Of course you might complain that the operator is concrete, but not its invariant subspaces.

Dec 19, 2010 at 18:08 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo Andrey, there are very general positive results, so I do not think a "concrete" candidate is known. There is a nice recent paper with good references to the state of the art on the problem: B. S. Yadav, "The Present State and Heritages of the Invariant Subspace Problem", Milan j. math. 73 (2005), 289–316.
