An equivalent operator problem invariant under unitary equivalence is stated. The related condition involves certain joint spectra of commuting subnormal operators. A special case leading to isometries is studied. As a result one obtains a relatively short proof of Corona Theorem for a wide class of domains in the plane, where Marshall's Theorem on the approximation by inner functions holds.", keywords = "Hardy classes, Taylor's joint spectra, cluster sets", issn = "1232-9274" }
