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…

Let T be a C_{\cdot 0}-contraction on a Hilbert space H and S be a non-trivial closed subspace of H. We prove that S is a T-invariant subspace of H if and only if there exists a Hilbert space D and a partially isometric operator \Pi :…

We show that (for the weak operator topology) the set of unitary operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is residual in the set of all contractions. The analogous result holds for isometries and the strong operator…

A contractive $n$-tuple $A=(A_1,...,A_n)$ has a minimal joint isometric dilation $S=(S_1,...,S_n)$ where the $S_i$'s are isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. This determines a representation of the Cuntz-Toeplitz algebra. When $A$…

We study the generalization of $m$-isometries and $m$-contractions (for positive integers $m$) to what we call $a$-isometries and $a$-contractions for positive real numbers $a$. We show that any Hilbert space operator, satisfying an…

The celebrated Sz.-Nagy and Foias and Ando theorems state that a single contraction, or a pair of commuting contractions, acting on a Hilbert space always possesses isometric dilation and subsequently satisfies the von Neumann inequality…

We study completely non-unitary contractions $T$ with finite dimensional defect spaces $\mathcal{D}_T$ and $\mathcal{D}_{T^*}$. We present a complete classification of all such contractions $T$ that satisfy a generalized property of Hardy…

We consider the $ U(1) $ sigma model in the two dimensional space-time which is a field-theoretical model possessing a nontrivial topology. It is pointed out that its topological structure is characterized by the zero-mode and the winding…

The finite Hilbert transform $T$ is a classical (singular) kernel operator which is continuous in every rearrangement invariant space $X$ over $(-1,1)$ having non-trivial Boyd indices. For $X=L^p$, $1<p<\infty$, this operator has been…

We introduce a notion called `maximal commuting piece' for tuples of Hilbert space operators. Given a commuting tuple of operators forming a row contraction there are two commonly used dilations in multivariable operator theory. Firstly…

The purpose of the paper is to obtain estimates for differences of functions of two pairs of commuting contractions on Hilbert space. In particular, Lipschitz type estimates, H\"older type estimates, Schatten--von Neumann estimates are…

Let $n>1$, and $\{U_{ij}\}$ for $1 \leq i < j \leq n$ be $\binom{n}{2}$ commuting unitaries on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ such that $U_{ji}:=U^*_{ij}$. An $n$-tuple of contractions $(T_1, \dots, T_n)$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is called…

A commuting tuple of $n$ 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_{i=1}^{n}z_i, \sum\limits_{1\leq i<j\leq n}z_iz_j, \dots,…

Given a linear semi-bounded symmetric operator $S\ge -\omega$, we explicitly define, and provide their nonlinear resolvents, nonlinear maximal monotone operators $A_\Theta$ of type $\lambda>\omega$ (i.e. generators of one-parameter…

Motivated by a result on weak Markov dilations, we define a notion of characteristic function for ergodic and coisometric row contractions with a one-dimensional invariant subspace for the adjoints. This extends a definition given by G.…

We investigate expansive Hilbert space operators $T$ that are finite rank perturbations of isometric operators. If the spectrum of $T$ is contained in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, then such operators are of the form $T=…

We define the notion of a free resolution of a d-tuple $(T_1, T_2, . . . T_d)$ of mutually commuting operators acting on a Hilbert space H, and that this invariant gives rise to a class of vector space complexes parametrized by points in…
