We provide an explicit normal distinguished boundary dilation to a pair of commuting operators $(S,P)$ having the closed symmetrized bidisc $\Gamma$ as a spectral set. This is called Sz.-Nagy dilation of $(S,P)$. The operator pair that…

For a contraction P and a bounded commutant S of P, we seek a solution X of the operator equation S-S*P = (I-P*P)^1/2 X(I-P*P) 1/2, where X is a bounded operator on Ran(I-P*P) 1/2 with numerical radius of X being not greater than 1. A pair…
The symmetrization map $\pi:\mathbb C^2\rightarrow \mathbb C^2$ is defined by $ \pi(z_1,z_2)=(z_1+z_2,z_1z_2). $ The closed symmetrized bidisc $\Gamma$ is the symmetrization of the closed unit bidisc $\overline{\mathbb D^2}$, that is, \[…

A pair of commuting operators $(S,P)$ defined on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ for which the closed symmetrized bidisc $$ \Gamma= \{(z_1+z_2,z_1z_2):: |z_1|\leq 1,\, |z_2|\leq 1 \}\subseteq \mathbb C^2, $$ is a spectral set is called a…
A fundamental theorem of Sz.-Nagy states that a contraction $T$ on a Hilbert space can be dilated to an isometry $V.$ A more multivariable context of recent significance for these concepts involves substituting the unit disk with…
A commuting tuple of operators $(S_1,\dots, S_{n-1},P)$, defined on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$, for which the closed symmetrized polydisc \[ \Gamma_n =\left\{ \left(\sum_{1\leq i\leq n} z_i,\sum_{1\leq i<j\leq n}z_iz_j,\dots,…
A commuting pair of operators (S, P) on a Hilbert space H is said to be a Gamma-contraction if the symmetrized bidisc is a spectral set of the tuple (S, P). In this paper we develop some operator theory inspired by Agler and Young's results…
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}.…
A pair of commuting Hilbert space contractions $(T_1,T_2)$ is said to be toral if there is a polynomial $p \in \mathbb C[z_1,z_2]$ such that its zero set $Z(p)$ defines a distinguished variety in the bidisc $\mathbb D^2$ and $p(T_1,T_2)=0$.…
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…
We prove some estimates for elementary symmetric polynomials on $\mathbb D^n.$ We show that these estimates are sharp which allow us to study the properties of closed symmetrized polydisc $\Gamma_n.$ Furthermore, we show the existence and…
