An operator C on a Hilbert space H dilates to an operator T on a Hilbert space K if there is an isometry V from H to K such that C=V^*TV. A main result of this paper is, for a positive integer d, the simultaneous dilation, up to a sharp…

A d-contraction is a d-tuple $(T_1,...,T_d)$ of mutually commuting operators acting on a common Hilbert space H such that $ \|T_1\xi_1+T_2\xi_2+... +T_d\xi_d\|^2\leq \|\xi_1\|^2+\|\xi_2\|^2+...+\|\xi_d\|^2 $ for all…

The simplest and most natural examples of completely nonunitary contractions on separable complex Hilbert spaces which have polynomial characteristic functions are the nilpotent operators. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the…

An operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is called expansive, if $\|Tx\|\geq \|x\|$ ($x\in\mathcal H$). Expansive operators $T$ quasisimilar to the unilateral shift $S_N$ of finite multiplicity $N$ are studied. It is proved that…

A major open question in the theory of Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space of the unit disk of the complex plane is the complete characterization of the set of all Toeplitz operators that commute with a given operator. In \cite{al}, the…

Using a result from ergodic Ramsey theory, we answer a question posed by B\`es, Martin, Peris and Shkarin by showing a mixing operator $T$ on a Hilbert space such that the tuple $(T, T^2)$ is not disjoint transitive.

An operator $T$ acting on a separable complex Hilbert space $H$ is said to be hypercyclic if there exists $f\in H$ such that the orbit $\{T^n f:\ n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is dense in $H$. Godefroy and Shapiro \cite{GoSha} characterized those…

This paper proves two theorems. The first of these simplifies and lends clarity to the previous characterizations of the invariant subspaces of $S$, the operator of multiplication by the coordinate function $z$, on…

We say that a submodule $\cls$ of $H^2(\mathbb{D}^n)$ ($n >1$) is co-doubly commuting if the quotient module $H^2(\mathbb{D}^n)/\cls$ is doubly commuting. We show that a co-doubly commuting submodule of $H^2(\mathbb{D}^n)$ is essentially…

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…

We show that whenever a contractive $k$-tuple $T$ on a finite dimensional space $H$ has a unitary dilation, then for any fixed degree $N$ there is a unitary $k$-tuple $U$ on a finite dimensional space so that $q(T) = P_H q(U) |_H$ for all…

An operator $T$ is called a 3-isometry if there exists operators $B_1(T^*,T)$ and $B_2(T^*,T)$ such that \[Q(n)=T^{*n}T^n=1+nB_1(T^*,T)+n^2 B_2(T^*,T)\] for all natural numbers $n$. An operator $J$ is a Jordan operator of order $2$ if…

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…

Given a commuting d-tuple $\bar T=(T_1,...,T_d)$ of otherwise arbitrary nonnormal operators on a Hilbert space, there is an associated Dirac operator $D_{\bar T}$. Significant attributes of the d-tuple are best expressed in terms of…

Ando's theorem states that any pair of commuting contractions on a Hilbert space can be dilated to a pair of commuting unitaries. Parrott presented an example showing that an analogous result does not hold for a triple of pairwise commuting…

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…

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…

Sz.-Nagy and Foias proved that each $C_{\cdot0}$-contraction has a dilation to a Hardy shift and thus established an elegant analytic functional model for contractions of class $C_{\cdot0}$. This has motivated lots of further works on model…

Let $\mathcal U(d)$ be the group of $d\times d$ unitary matrices. We find conditions to ensure that a $\mathcal U(d)$-homogeneous $d$-tuple $\boldsymbol T$ is unitarily equivalent to multiplication by the coordinate functions on some…
