The article deals with isometric dilation and commutant lifting for a class of $n$-tuples $(n \geq 3)$ of commuting contractions. We show that operator tuples in the class dilate to tuples of commuting isometries of BCL type. As a…
There are several proofs of the classical commutant lifting and intertwining lifting theorems in the literature. In this article, we present analogous proofs to a few $Q$-commuting lifting and $Q$-intertwining lifting theorems. We provide…
Consider a nonzero contraction $T$ and a bounded operator $X$ satisfying $TX=qXT$ for a complex number $q$. There are some interesting results in the literature on $q$-commuting dilation and $q$-commutant lifting of such pair $(T,X)$ when…
Given a bounded operator $Q$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a pair of bounded operators $(T_1, T_2)$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be $Q$-commuting if one of the following holds: \[ T_1T_2=QT_2T_1 \text{ or }T_1T_2=T_2QT_1 \text{ or…
A classical result of Sz.-Nagy asserts that a Hilbert-space contraction operator $T$ can be lifted to an isometry $V$. A more general multivariable setting of recent interest for these ideas is the case where (i) the unit disk is replaced…
For $0<r<1$, let us consider the following annulus: \[ \mathbb A_r= \{ z\in \mathbb C\, : \, r<|z|<1 \}. \] A Hilbert space operator $T$ for which $\overline{\mathbb A}_r$ is a spectral set is called an $\mathbb A_r$-\textit{contraction}.…
We introduce a notion called `maximal commuting piece' for tuples of Hilbert space operators. Given a commuting tuple of operators forming a row contraction there are two commonly used dilations in multivariable operator theory. Firstly…
For commuting contractions $T_1,\dots ,T_n$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ with $T=\prod_{i=1}^n T_i$, we find a necessary and sufficient condition under which $(T_1,\dots ,T_n)$ dilates to commuting isometries $(V_1,\dots ,V_n)$ on…
Given a row contraction of operators on Hilbert space and a family of projections on the space which stabilize the operators, we show there is a unique minimal joint dilation to a row contraction of partial isometries which satisfy natural…
We introduce the notion of $Q$-commuting operators which is a generalization of commuting operators. We prove a generalized version of commutant lifting theorem and Ando's dilation theorem in the context of $Q$-commuting operators.
We develop a dilation theory for row contractions subject to constraints determined by sets of noncommutative polynomials. Under natural conditions on the constraints, we have uniqueness for the minimal dilation. A characteristic function…
We obtain intertwining dilation theorems for noncommutative regular domains D_f and noncommutative varieties V_J of n-tuples of operators, which generalize Sarason and Sz.-Nagy--Foias commutant lifting theorem for commuting contractions. We…
For commuting contractions $T_1,\dots ,T_n$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ with $T=\prod_{i=1}^n T_i$, we show that $(T_1, \dots, T_n)$ dilates to commuting isometries $(V_1, \dots , V_n)$ on the minimal isometric dilation space of…
We explore aspects of dilation theory in the finite dimensional case and show that for a commuting $n$-tuple of operators $T=(T_1,...,T_n) $ acting on some finite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ and a compact set $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ the…
A commuting tuple of Hilbert space operators $(T_1, \dotsc, T_n)$ is said to be an \textit{$\mathbb{A}_r^n$-contraction} if the closure of the polyannulus \[ \mathbb A_r^n=\left\{(z_1, \dotsc, z_n) \ : \ r<|z_i|<1, \ 1 \leq i \leq n…
For a tuple $T$ of Hilbert space operators, the 'commuting dilation constant' is the smallest number $c$ such that the operators of $T$ are a simultaneous compression of commuting normal operators of norm at most $c$. We present numerical…
A tuple $\underline{T}=(T_1, \dotsc, T_k)$ of operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is said to be \textit{$q$-commuting with} $\|q\|=1$ or simply $q$-\textit{commuting} if there is a family of scalars $q=\{q_{ij} \in \mathbb C :…
This paper presents a few additions to commutant lifting theory. An operator interpolation problem is introduced and shown to be equivalent to the relaxed commutant lifting problem. Using this connection a description of all solutions of…
The isometric dilation of a pair of commuting contractions due to And\^{o} is not minimal. We modify And\^{o}'s dilation and construct a minimal isometric dilation on $\mathcal H \oplus_2 \ell_2(\mathcal H \oplus_2 \mathcal H)$ for a…
An n-tuple (n \geq 2), T = (T_1, \ldots, T_n), of commuting bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space \mathcal{H} is doubly commuting if T_i T_j^* = T_j^* T_i for all $1 \leq i < j \leq n$. If in addition, each T_i \in C_{\cdot 0}, then…
