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…
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…
The classical Cowen-Douglas class of (commuting tuples of) operators possessing an open set of (joint) eigenvalues of finite constant multiplicity was introduced by Cowen and Douglas, generalizing the backward shifts. Their unitary…
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 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…
In this paper we study quasi-homogeneous operators, which include the homogeneous operators, in the Cowen-Douglas class. We give two separate theorems describing canonical models (with respect to equivalence under unitary and invertible…
Denote $\mathcal{FB}_{n}(\Omega)$ as the collection of operators possessing a flag structure in the Cowen-Douglas class $\mathcal{B}_{n}(\Omega)$, and all the irreducible homogeneous operators in $\mathcal{B}_{n}(\Omega)$ belong to this…
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.
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 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:…
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,…
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…
One can view contraction operators given by a canonical model of Sz.-Nagy and Foias as being defined by a quotient module where the basic building blocks are Hardy spaces. In this note we generalize this framework to allow the Bergman and…

Let $\mathrm{L}^2_a(\mathbb{D})$ be the classical Bergman space and denote $M_h$ for the multiplication operator by a function $h$. Let $B$ be a finite Blaschke product with order $n$.An open question proposed by R. G. Douglas is whether…
Fix a bounded planar domain $\Omega.$ If an operator $T,$ in the Cowen-Douglas class $B_1(\Omega),$ admits the compact set $\bar{\Omega}$ as a spectral set, then the curvature inequality $\mathcal K_T(w) \leq - 4 \pi^2 S_\Omega(w,w)^2,$…
This paper studies the compressed shift operator $S_z$ on the Hardy space over the bidisk via the geometric approach. We calculate the spectrum and essential spectrum of $S_z$ on the Beurling type quotient modules induced by rational inner…
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 explicit description of homogeneous operators and localization of a Hilbert module naturally leads to the definition of a class of Cowen-Douglas operators possessing a flag structure. These operators are irreducible. We show that the…
