Abstract

Applying the techniques resulting the existence of almost invariant half-spaces, similarity models \whT\wh T can be given for upper triangular operator-matrices T=[AC0B]T= \left[\begin{matrix}A&C\\ 0&B\end{matrix}\right]. The model \whT\wh T is also an operator-matrix, containing two diagonal operators in the general case \cite{ker25}, and the unilateral shift SS together with a diagonal operator in the particular case when AA is similar to SS \cite{ker26}. Well-chosen compressions of operators in the commutant {\whT}\{\wh T\}' form a linear manifold \wh\L\wh\L satisfying the condition that every \whX\wh\L\wh X\in\wh \L is transformed into \whY\wh Y with \rank\whY2\rank\wh Y\le 2 by a canonical mapping. Furthermore, a cyclcity property of {T}\{T\}' yields transitivity of \wh\L\wh\L. In \cite{ker25} and \cite{ker26} the 3-dimensional cross-sections of \wh\L\wh\L have been investigated characterizing the canonical bases occurring in the corresponding subspaces of the matrix-algebra M3[\C]M_3[\C]. In this paper new conditions are provided by studying matching of adjacent cross-sections.
