Consider the domain $E$ in $\mathbb{C}^3$ defined by $$ E=\{(a_{11},a_{22},\text{det}A): A=\begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{pmatrix}\text{ with }\lVert A \rVert <1\}. $$ This is called the tetrablock. This paper…

A criterion on the similarity of a (bounded, linear) operator $T$ on a (complex, separable) Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ in terms of shift-type invariant subspaces of $T$ to a contraction of class $C_{\cdot 0}$ with finite unequal defects is…

We introduce and investigate $H^\infty$-functional calculus for commuting finite families of Ritt operators on Banach space $X$. We show that if either $X$ is a Banach lattice or $X$ or $X^*$ has property $(\alpha)$, then a commuting…

Quantum speed-ups for dynamical simulation usually demand unitary time-evolution, whereas the large ODE/PDE systems encountered in realistic physical models are generically non-unitary. We present a universal moment-fulfilling dilation that…

We continue our analysis of the consequences of the commutation relation $[S,T]=\Id$, where $S$ and $T$ are two closable unbounded operators. The {\em weak} sense of this commutator is given in terms of the inner product of the Hilbert…

Let $\{T_1, \ldots, T_n\}$ be a set of $n$ commuting bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Then the $n$-tuple $(T_1, \ldots, T_n)$ turns $\mathcal{H}$ into a module over $\mathbb{C}[z_1, \ldots, z_n]$ in the following…

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 present a set-theoretic version of some basic dilation results of operator theory. The results we have considered are Wold decomposition, Halmos dilation, Sz. Nagy dilation, inter-twining lifting, commuting and non-commuting dilations,…

A truncated Toeplitz operator is the compression $A_{\phi}:\K_{\Theta} \to \K_{\Theta}$ of a Toeplitz operator $T_{\phi}:H^2\to H^2$ to a model space $\K_{\Theta} := H^2 \ominus \Theta H^2$. For $\Theta$ inner, let $\T_{\Theta}$ denote the…

A conjecture of Halmos proved by Choi and Li states that the closure of the numerical range of a contraction on a Hilbert space is the intersection of the closure of the numerical ranges of all its unitary dilations. We show that for…

A pair of Hilbert space linear operators $(V_1,V_2)$ is said to be $q$-commutative, for a unimodular complex number $q$, if $V_1V_2=qV_2V_1$. A concrete functional model for $q$-commutative pairs of isometries is obtained. The functional…

Here we study dilations of q-commuting tuples. In [BBD] the authors gave the correspondence between the two standard dilations of commuting tuples and here these results have been extended to q-commuting tuples. We are able to do this when…

In this note, we provide a family of $2\times 2$ tetrablock contractions that have tetrablock isometric dilation, but the corresponding fundamental operators do not commute. This answers a question raised by Bhattacharyya [Indiana Univ.…

Inspired by some recent development on the theory about projection valued dilations for operator valued measures or more generally bounded homomorphism dilations for bounded linear maps on Banach algebras, we explore a pure algebraic…

We extend the notion of dilation distance to strongly continuous one-parameter unitary groups. If the dilation distance between two such groups is finite, then these groups can be represented on the same space in such a way that their…

Let $T\colon H\to H$ be a bounded operator on Hilbert space. We say that $T$ has a polygonal type if there exists an open convex polygon $\Delta\subset {\mathbb D}$, with $\overline{\Delta}\cap{\mathbb T}\neq\emptyset$, such that the…

Let $H_1, H_2$ be complex Hilbert spaces and $T$ be a densely defined closed linear operator from its domain $D(T)$, a dense subspace of $H_1$, into $H_2$. Let $N(T)$ denote the null space of $T$ and $R(T)$ denote the range of $T$. Recall…

An $n$-tuple of operators $(V_1,...,V_n)$ acting on a Hilbert space $H$ is said to be isometric if the operator $[V_1\...\ V_n]:H^n\to H$ is an isometry. We prove a decomposition for an isometric tuple of operators that generalizes the…

In first-passage percolation, one assigns i.i.d. nonnegative weights $(t_e)$ to the edges of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and studies the induced distance (passage time) $T(x,y)$ between vertices $x$ and $y$. It is known that for $d=2$, the fluctuations…

The wandering subspace problem for an analytic norm-increasing $m$-isometry $T$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ asks whether every $T$-invariant subspace of $\mathcal H$ can be generated by a wandering subspace. An affirmative solution to…
