Let $G$ and $T$ be topological groups, $\alpha : T \to \Aut(G)$ a homomorphism defining a continuous action of $T$ on $G$ and $G^\sharp := G \rtimes_\alpha T$ the corresponding semidirect product group. In this paper we address several…

We extend some classical results of Cowling and Meda to the noncommutative setting. Let $(T_t)_{t>0}$ be a symmetric contraction semigroup on a noncommutative space $L_p(\mathcal{M}),$ and let the functions $\phi$ and $\psi$ be regularly…

Motivated by the canonical decomposition of contractions on Hilbert spaces, we investigate when contractive Toeplitz operators on vector-valued Hardy spaces on the unit disc admit a non-zero reducing subspace on which its restriction is…

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…

Let T:=[T_1,..., T_n] be an n-tuple of operators on a Hilbert space such that T is a completely non-coisometric row contraction. We establish the existence of a "one-to-one" correspondence between the joint invariant subspaces under…

Sz.-Nagy's famous theorem states that a bounded operator $T$ which acts on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is similar to a unitary operator if and only if $T$ is invertible and both $T$ and $T^{-1}$ are power bounded. There is an…

In this paper we construct a large class of multiplication operators on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces which are {\em homogeneous} with respect to the action of the M\"{o}bius group consisting of bi-holomorphic automorphisms of the unit…

We study the theory of projective representations for a compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, i.e. actions of $\mathbb{G}$ on $\mathcal{B}(H)$ for some Hilbert space $H$. We show that any such projective representation is inner, and is hence…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group. The representation zeta function $\zeta_G(s)$ of $G$ enumerates twist isoclasses of finite-dimensional irreducible complex representations of $G$. We prove that $\zeta_G(s)$ has…

We consider contractive operators $T$ that are trace class perturbations of a unitary operator $U$. We prove that the dimension functions of the absolutely continuous spectrum of $T$, $T^*$ and of $U$ coincide. In particular, if $U$ has a…

We prove a product formula which involves the unitary group generated by a semibounded self-adjoint operator and an orthogonal projection $P$ on a separable Hilbert space $\HH$, with the convergence in $L^2_\mathrm{loc}(\mathbb{R};\HH)$. It…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be the semigroup $\mathcal{S}=\sum^{\oplus k}_{i=1}\Sc{S}_i$, where for each $i\in I$, $\mathcal{S}_i$ is a countable subsemigroup of the additive semigroup $\B{R}_+$ containing 0. We consider representations of…

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…

The characteristic function for a contraction is a classical complete unitary invariant devised by Sz.-Nagy and Foias. Just as a contraction is related to the Szego kernel $k_S(z,w) = (1 - z\ow)^{-1}$ for $|z|, |w| < 1$, by means of…

In this paper we construct an unitary operator $F_{xx*}$ such that $(F_{xx^{*}})^2=identity$ and $Fix(F_{xx^*})\neq\emptyset$. We get the unitary equivalent representations $F_{xx*}(M_{z\psi(z)}-a)$ on…

Suppose $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$ is the tensor algebra of a $W^{*}$-correspondence $E$ and $H^{\infty}(E)$ is the associated Hardy algebra. We investigate the problem of extending completely contractive representations of $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$…
