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…
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…
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,…
In 1978, M. J. Cowen and R.G. Douglas introduce a class of operators (known as Cowen-Douglas class of operators) and associates a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle to such an operator in a very influential paper. They give a complete set…
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…
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 this article, we obtain two sets of results. The first set of complete results are exclusively for the case of the bi-disc while the second set of results describe in part, which of these carry over to the general case of the poly-disc:…

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…
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…
The study of Cowen-Douglas operators involves not only operator-theoretic tools but also complex geometry on holomorphic vector bundles. By leveraging the properties of holomorphic vector bundles, this paper investigates the cyclicity of…
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…
The main features of homogeneous Cowen-Douglas operators, well-known for the unit disk, are generalized to the setting of hermitian bounded symmetric domains of arbitrary rank.
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…
We construct a large family of positive-definite kernels $K: \mathbb{D}^n\times \mathbb{D}^n \to \mbox{M} (r, \mathbb C)$, holomorphic in the first variable and anti-holomorphic in the second, that are quasi-invariant with respect to the…
A complete list of homogeneous operators in the Cowen-Douglas class $B_n(D)$ is given. This classification is obtained from an explicit realization of all the homogeneous Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles on the unit disc under the…
The goal of this paper is to study the structure of noncommutative weighted shifts, their properties, and to understand their role as models (up to similarity) for $n$-tuples of operators on Hilbert spaces as well as their implications to…
A well-known theorem due to R. E. Curto and N. Salinas gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the unitary equivalence of commuting tuples of bounded linear operators acting on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Inspired by this…
A refined notion of curvature for a linear system of Hermitian vector spaces, in the sense of Grothendieck, leads to the unitary classification of a large class of analytic Hilbert modules. Specifically, we study Hilbert sub-modules, for…
The leitmotiv of this review is noncommutative principal U(1)-bundles and associated line bundles. In the first part I give a brief introduction to Hopf-Galois theory and its applications, from field extensions to principal group actions. I…
