In this paper we study quasi-homogeneous operators, which include the homogeneous operators, in the Cowen-Douglas class. We give two separate theorems describing canonical models (with respect to equivalence under unitary and invertible…
In 1978, M. J. Cowen and R. G. Douglas introduced a class of geometric operators (known as Cowen-Douglas class of operators) and associated a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle to such operators. In this paper, after giving some basic…
In this paper, a new criterion for the similarity of commuting tuples of operators on Hilbert spaces is introduced. As an application, we obtain a geometric similarity invariant of tuples in the Cowen-Douglas class which gives a partial…
We consider a subclass of the Cowen-Douglas class in which the problem of deciding whether two operators are similar becomes more manageable. A similarity criterion for Cowen-Douglas operators is known to be dependent on the trace of the…
In this paper, we systematically study a class of essentially normal operators by using the geometry method from the Cowen-Douglas theory and prove a Brown-Douglas-Fillmore theorem in the Cowen-Douglas theory. More precisely, the Chern…
We are concerned with the similarity problem for Cowen-Douglas operator tuples. The unitary equivalence counterpart was already investigated in the 1970's and geometric concepts including vector bundles and curvature appeared in the…
Denote $\mathcal{FB}_{n}(\Omega)$ as the collection of operators possessing a flag structure in the Cowen-Douglas class $\mathcal{B}_{n}(\Omega)$, and all the irreducible homogeneous operators in $\mathcal{B}_{n}(\Omega)$ belong to this…
The classical Cowen-Douglas class of (commuting tuples of) operators possessing an open set of (joint) eigenvalues of finite constant multiplicity was introduced by Cowen and Douglas, generalizing the backward shifts. Their unitary…
The curvature $\mathcal K_T(w)$ of a contraction $T$ in the Cowen-Douglas class $B_1(\mathbb D)$ is bounded above by the curvature $\mathcal K_{S^*}(w)$ of the backward shift operator. However, in general, an operator satisfying the…
We show that the same similarity characterization obtained for Cowen-Douglas operators to the backward shift operators on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with analytic kernels can be used to describe similarity in the Dirichlet space…
It is known that all the vector bundles of the title can be obtained by holomorphic induction from representations of a certain parabolic Lie algebra on finite dimensional inner product spaces. The representations, and the induced bundles,…
A curvature inequality is established for contractive commuting tuples of operators in the Cowen-Douglas class of rank n. Properties of the extremal operators, that is, the operators which achieve equality, are investigated. Specifically, a…
One can view contraction operators given by a canonical model of Sz.-Nagy and Foias as being defined by a quotient module where the basic building blocks are Hardy spaces. In this note we generalize this framework to allow the Bergman and…
An explicit construction of all the homogeneous holomorphic Hermitian vector bundles over the unit disc $\mathbb D$ is given. It is shown that every such vector bundle is a direct sum of irreducible ones. Among these irreducible homogeneous…

The study of Cowen-Douglas operators not only involves traditional operator-theoretic tools but also concepts and results from complex geometry on holomorphic vector bundles. We make use of the ratio of the metric matrices first considered…
In [11] the authors investigated a family of quotient Hilbert modules in the Cowen-Douglas class over the unit disk constructed from classical Hilbert modules such as the Hardy and Bergman modules. In this paper we extend the results to the…
