The closed unit bidisc $\overline{\mathbb{D}}^2$ is known to be a spectral set for any pair $(T_1,T_2)$ of commuting contractions. When each $T_i$ is pure and has finite defect, the pair admits a much smaller spectral set: the closure of a…

Let $(S_1, S_2)$ be a bi-isometry, that is, a pair of commuting isometries $S_1$ and $S_2$ on a complex Hilbert space $\mathscr H.$ By the von Neumann-Wold decomposition, the hyper-range $\mathscr H_\infty(S_1):=\cap_{n=0}^\infty…

Let $M=S^n/ \Gamma$ and $h$ be a nontrivial element of finite order $p$ in $\pi_1(M)$, where the integer $n\geq2$, $\Gamma$ is a finite group which acts freely and isometrically on the $n$-sphere and therefore $M$ is diffeomorphic to a…

There are considered isometries on a Hilbert space. By the Wold theorem any isometry can be decomposed into a unitary operator and a unilateral shift. For a pair of isometries, even commuting, a maximal subspace reducing one isometry to a…
