Canonical decomposition of operators associated with the symmetrized polydisc

Abstract

A tuple of commuting operators (S1,,Sn1,P)(S_1,\dots,S_{n-1},P) for which the closed symmetrized polydisc Γn\Gamma_n is a spectral set is called a Γn\Gamma_n-contraction. We show that every Γn\Gamma_n-contraction admits a decomposition into a Γn\Gamma_n-unitary and a completely non-unitary Γn\Gamma_n-contraction. This decomposition is an analogue to the canonical decomposition of a contraction into a unitary and a completely non-unitary contraction. We also find new characterizations for the set Γn\Gamma_n and Γn\Gamma_n-contractions.
