Doubly twisted near-isometries: Classification and a Wold-type decomposition
Abstract
We introduce and study doubly twisted near-isometries. A doubly twisted near-isometry is a tuple of near-isometries satisfying certain relations determined by a prescribed family of unitaries, thereby generalizing the notion of doubly commuting near-isometries. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a tuple of near-isometries to admit a Wold-type decomposition and prove that the existence of such a decomposition automatically ensures its uniqueness by providing an explicit description of the summands. Furthermore, we show that every doubly twisted near-isometry admits a Wold-type decomposition. We also characterize unitary equivalence within the class of doubly twisted near-isometries and construct an analytic model for them. Several examples are included to highlight the distinctions between our results and the corresponding results in the setting of doubly twisted isometries.
