We study a specific family of symmetric norms on the algebra $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$ of operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. With respect to each symmetric norm in this family the identity operator fails to attain…

In this note, we develop a parallel theory of the classical Sz.-Nagy--Foias dilation and model theory for a single contraction operator in the setting of pairs of \em{{$q$-commuting}} contraction operators for a unimodular complex number…

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…

The celebrated theorem of Berger, Coburn and Lebow on pairs of commuting isometries can be formulated as follows: a pure isometry $V$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is a product of two commuting isometries $V_1$ and $V_2$ in…

We give a Riemannian structure to the set $\Sigma$ of positive invertible unitized Hilbert-Schmidt operators, by means of the trace inner product. This metric makes of $\Sigma$ a nonpositively curved, simply connected and metrically…

Let $U$ be an operator in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_{0}$, and let $\mathcal{K}\subset\mathcal{H}_{0}$ be a closed and invariant subspace. Suppose there is a period-2 unitary operator $J$ in $\mathcal{H}_{0}$ such that $JUJ=U^*$, and $PJP…

The paper proves two results involving a pair (A,B) of P-biisometric or (m,P)-biisometric Hilbert-space operators for arbitrary positive integer m and positive operator P. It is shown that if A and B are power bounded and the pair (A,B) is…

Dilation theory is a paradigm for studying operators by way of exhibiting an operator as a compression of another operator which is in some sense well behaved. For example, every contraction can be dilated to (i.e., is a compression of) a…

The fundamental result of B. Sz. Nazy states that every contraction has a coisometric extension and a unitary dilation. The isometric dilation of a contraction on a Hilbert space motivated whether this theory can be extended sensibly to…

This paper presents Wold-type decomposition for various pairs of twisted contractions on Hilbert spaces. As a consequence, we obtain Wold-type decomposition for pairs of doubly twisted isometries and in particular, new and simple proof of…

In this paper, we establish the one-sided maximal ergodic inequalities for a large subclass of positive operators on noncommutative $L_p$-spaces for a fixed $1<p<\infty$, which particularly applies to positive isometries and general…

This paper combines the decomposition technique ($\sigma$-stability) in random functional analysis with the deterministic theory of asymptotically pointwise contractions to provide a complete self-contained derivation of a fixed point…

A tuple of commuting operators $(S_1,\dots,S_{n-1},P)$ for which the closed symmetrized polydisc $\Gamma_n$ is a spectral set is called a $\Gamma_n$-contraction. We show that every $\Gamma_n$-contraction admits a decomposition into a…

A classical result of Sz.-Nagy asserts that a Hilbert space contraction operator $T$ can be dilated to a unitary $\cU$. A more general multivariable setting for these ideas is the setup where (i) the unit disk is replaced by a domain…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let $\big\{A_{n}\big\}_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$. Then a bounded operator $B$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{K} \supseteq \mathcal{H}$ is said to be…

Let the complex reflection group $G(m,p,n)$ act on the unit polydisc $\mathbb D^n$ in $\mathbb C^n.$ A $\boldsymbol\Theta_n$-contraction is a commuting tuple of operators on a Hilbert space having…

In a recent paper it was shown that if a Hamiltonian H has an unbroken PT symmetry, then it also possesses a hidden symmetry represented by the linear operator C. The operator C commutes with both H and PT. The inner product with respect to…

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…
