Abstract:
It is proved that a nest on a separable complex Hilbert space has the left (resp. right) partial factorization property, which means that for every invertible operator from onto a Hilbert space there exists an isometry (resp. a coisometry) from into such that both and are in the associated nest algebra if and only if it is atomic (resp. countable).
