Abstract

In this paper, we show that if T=(T1,T2)\mathbf{T} = (T_1, T_2) is an analytic left-inverse commuting pair of toral 22-isometries satisfying the joint kernel condition, then it is unitarily equivalent to an operator-valued weighted shift with invertible weights {WI(j):j=1,2}IZ+2,\{W_{I}^{(j)}:j=1,2\}_{I\in \mathbb{Z}_{+}^2}, where the initial weights W0,0(1)W_{0,0}^{(1)} and W0,0(2)W_{0,0}^{(2)} are positive operators. Moreover, if these initial weights commute, then the Cauchy dual T:=(T1,T2)\mathbf{T}' := (T_1', T_2') is jointly subnormal. We also construct an example in which the initial weights do not commute, and the corresponding Cauchy dual fails to be jointly subnormal.
