For fixed $0<r<1$, let $A_r=\{z \in \mathbb{C} : r<|z|<1\}$ be the annulus with boundary $\partial \overline{A}_r=\mathbb{T} \cup r\mathbb{T}$, where $\mathbb T$ is the unit circle in the complex plane $\mathbb C$. An operator having…

We give an alternative proof to Agler's famous result on success of rational dilation on an annulus by an application of a result due to Dritschel and McCullough. We show interplay between operators associated with an annulus, $C_{1,r}$ or…

For $0<r<1$, let us consider the following annulus: \[ \mathbb A_r= \{ z\in \mathbb C\, : \, r<|z|<1 \}. \] A Hilbert space operator $T$ for which $\overline{\mathbb A}_r$ is a spectral set is called an $\mathbb A_r$-\textit{contraction}.…

Fix 1<R. The dilation theory for the quantum annulus, consisting of those invertible Hilbert space operators T such that the norm of T and its inverse are both at most R is determined. The proof technique involves a geometric approach to…

We find several new estimates for the spectral constants $K(\mathbb A_r)$ for which a closed annulus $\overline{\mathbb A}_r$ or closed polyannulus $\overline{\mathbb A}^n_r$ is a $K$-spectral set for operators in the quantum annulus…

Given a bounded operator $Q$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, a pair of bounded operators $(T_1, T_2)$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be $Q$-commuting if one of the following holds: \[ T_1T_2=QT_2T_1 \text{ or }T_1T_2=T_2QT_1 \text{ or…

For an invertible linear operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $H$, put \[ \alpha(T^*,T) := -T^{*2}T^2 + (1+r^2) T^* T - r^2 I, \] where $I$ stands for the identity operator on $H$ and $r\in (0,1)$; this expression comes from applying Agler's…

A commuting tuple of Hilbert space operators $(T_1, \dotsc, T_n)$ is said to be an \textit{$\mathbb{A}_r^n$-contraction} if the closure of the polyannulus \[ \mathbb A_r^n=\left\{(z_1, \dotsc, z_n) \ : \ r<|z_i|<1, \ 1 \leq i \leq n…

We introduce and study a scale of operator classes on the annulus that is motivated by the $\mathcal{C}_{\rho}$ classes of $\rho$-contractions of Nagy and Foia\c{s}. In particular, our classes are defined in terms of the contractivity of…

A tuple $\underline{T}=(T_1, \dotsc, T_k)$ of operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is said to be \textit{$q$-commuting with} $\|q\|=1$ or simply $q$-\textit{commuting} if there is a family of scalars $q=\{q_{ij} \in \mathbb C :…

We suggest a new version of the notion of $\rho$-dilation ($\rho>0$) of an $N$-tuple $\mathbf{A}=(A_1,...,A_N)$ of bounded linear operators on a common Hilbert space. We say that $\mathbf{A}$ belongs to the class $C_{\rho,N}$ if…

We introduce the notion of $Q$-commuting operators which is a generalization of commuting operators. We prove a generalized version of commutant lifting theorem and Ando's dilation theorem in the context of $Q$-commuting operators.

An n-tuple (n \geq 2), T = (T_1, \ldots, T_n), of commuting bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space \mathcal{H} is doubly commuting if T_i T_j^* = T_j^* T_i for all $1 \leq i < j \leq n$. If in addition, each T_i \in C_{\cdot 0}, then…

We present several operator versions of the Dunkl--Williams inequality with respect to the $p$-angular distance for operators. More precisely, we show that if $A, B \in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ such that $|A|$ and $|B|$ are invertible,…

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…

A bounded Hilbert space operator $T$ for which the closure of the annulus \[ \mathbb{A}_r=\{z \ : \ r<|z|<1\} \subseteq \mathbb{C}, \qquad (0<r<1) \] is a spectral set is called an $\mathbb A_r$-contraction. A celebrated theorem due to…

We scrutinize the possibility of extending the result of \cite{ccr} to the case of q-deformed oscillator for $q$ real; for this we exploit the whole range of the deformation parameter as much as possible. We split the case into two…
