Abstract. We consider the weighted shifts of infinite multiplicity with quasi-affine weights. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the Deddens algebra associated to such a shift to have a nontrivial invariant subspace, or to be dense. Our technique is based on the study of compressions of operators in the Deddens algebra to some subspaces, and the relations between such compressions.
