Abstract

A commuting triple of Hilbert space operators (A,B,P)(A,B,P), for which the closed tetrablock Eˉ\bar{\mathbb E} is a spectral set, is called a \textit{tetrablock-contraction} or simply an E\mathbb E-\textit{contraction}, where E={(a11,a22,detA):A=[aij]M2(C),  A<1}C3 \mathbb E=\{(a_{11},a_{22}, \det A):\, A=[a_{ij}]\in \mathcal M_2(\mathbb C), \; \|A\| <1 \} \subset \mathbb C^3 is a polynomially convex domain which is naturally associated with the μ\mu-synthesis problem. We introduce triangular E\mathbb E-contractions and prove that every pure triangular E\mathbb E-contraction dilates to a pure triangular E\mathbb E-isometry. We construct a functional model for a pure triangular E\mathbb E-isometry and apply that model to find a new proof for the famous Berger-Coburn-Lebow Model Theorem for commuting isometries. Next we give an alternative proof to the more generalized version of Berger-Coburn-Lebow Model, namely the factorization of a pure contraction due to Das, Sarkar and Sarkar (\textit{Adv. Math.} 322 (2017), 186 -- 200). We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of E\mathbb E-unitary dilation of an E\mathbb E-contraction (A,B,P)(A,B,P) on the smallest dilation space and show that it is equivalent to the existence of a distinguished variety in E\mathbb E when the defect space DPD_{P^*} is finite dimensional.
