A classical result of Sz.-Nagy asserts that a Hilbert space contraction operator $T$ can be dilated to a unitary $\cU$. A more general multivariable setting for these ideas is the setup where (i) the unit disk is replaced by a domain…

We explore aspects of dilation theory in the finite dimensional case and show that for a commuting $n$-tuple of operators $T=(T_1,...,T_n) $ acting on some finite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ and a compact set $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ the…

A d-contraction is a d-tuple $(T_1,...,T_d)$ of mutually commuting operators acting on a common Hilbert space H such that $ \|T_1\xi_1+T_2\xi_2+... +T_d\xi_d\|^2\leq \|\xi_1\|^2+\|\xi_2\|^2+...+\|\xi_d\|^2 $ for all…

Let $\Omega$ be a Cartan domain and $K = \sum_{\underline s}a_{\underline s}K_{\underline s}$ be a $\mathbb K$-invariant kernel on $\Omega$. In this article, we first obtain a necessary condition on $K$ to have the complete Nevanlinna-Pick…

We apply weighted Mourre commutator theory to prove the limiting absorption principle for the discrete Schr{\"o}dinger operator perturbed by the sum of a Wigner-von Neumann and long-range type potential. In particular, this implies a new…

Contraction theory for dynamical systems on Euclidean spaces is well-established. For contractive (resp. semi-contractive) systems, the distance (resp. semi-distance) between any two trajectories decreases exponentially fast. For partially…

The main aim of this paper is to generalize the classical concept of positive operator, and to develop a general extension theory, which overcomes not only the lack of a Hilbert space structure, but also the lack of a normable topology. The…

Contraction theory is an analytical tool to study differential dynamics of a non-autonomous (i.e., time-varying) nonlinear system under a contraction metric defined with a uniformly positive definite matrix, the existence of which results…

The objective of this paper is to study wandering subspaces for commuting tuples of bounded operators on Hilbert spaces. It is shown that, for a large class of analytic functional Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}_K$ on the unit ball in $\mathbb…

The goal of the present paper is to push Sz.-Nagy--Foias model theory for a completely nonunitary Hilbert-space contraction operator $T$, to the case of a commuting pair of contraction operators $(T_1, T_2)$ having product $T = T_1 T_2$…

Suppose that f is a projective birational morphism with at most one-dimensional fibres between d-dimensional varieties X and Y, satisfying ${\bf R}f_* \mathcal{O}_X = \mathcal{O}_Y$. Consider the locus L in Y over which f is not an…

Following Beurling's theorem the natural compressions of the multiplication operator in the classical $L^2$ space are compressions to model spaces and to their orthogonal complements. Two possibly different model spaces are considered hence…

We characterize inclusions of compact noncommutative convex sets with the property that every continuous affine function on the smaller set can be extended to a continuous affine function on the larger set with a uniform bound. As an…

We obtain intertwining dilation theorems for noncommutative regular domains D_f and noncommutative varieties V_J of n-tuples of operators, which generalize Sarason and Sz.-Nagy--Foias commutant lifting theorem for commuting contractions. We…

A notion of curvature is introduced in multivariable operator theory and an analogue of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem is established for graded (contractive) Hilbert modules over the complex polynomial algebra in d variables, d=1,2,3,....…

The article deals with isometric dilation and commutant lifting for a class of $n$-tuples $(n \geq 3)$ of commuting contractions. We show that operator tuples in the class dilate to tuples of commuting isometries of BCL type. As a…

Paul Halmos' work in dilation theory began with a question and its answer: Which operators on a Hilbert space can be extended to normal operators on a larger Hilbert space? The answer is interesting and subtle. The idea of representing…

Using works of T.~Ando and L.~Gurvits, the well-known theorem of P.R.~Halmos concerning the existence of unitary dilations for contractive linear operators acting on Hilbert spaces recast as a result for $d$-tuples of contractive Hilbert…

We construct a weak dilation of a not necessarily unital CP-semigroup to an E-semigroup acting on the adjointable operators of a Hilbert module with a unit vector. We construct the dilation in such a way that the dilating E-semigroup has a…

A field theoretical perturbation theory in inverse powers of coupling constant is developed which is manifestly covariant in every order of the expansion. A dilatation operator serves as an evolution dynamical one in a scale non-invariant…
