Abstract

Let (S1,S2)(S_1, S_2) be a bi-isometry, that is, a pair of commuting isometries S1S_1 and S2S_2 on a complex Hilbert space H.\mathscr H. By the von Neumann-Wold decomposition, the hyper-range H(S1):=n=0S1nH\mathscr H_\infty(S_1):=\cap_{n=0}^\infty S^n_1\mathscr H of S1S_1 reduces S1S_1 to a unitary operator. Although H(S1)\mathscr H_\infty(S_1) is an invariant subspace for S2,S_2, in general, H(S1)\mathscr H_\infty(S_1) is not a reducing subspace for S2.S_2. We show that H(S1)\mathscr H_\infty(S_1) reduces S2S_2 to an isometry if and only if the subspaces S2(kerS1)S_2(\ker S^*_1) and H(S1)\mathscr H_\infty(S_1) of H\mathscr H are orthogonal. Further, we describe all bi-isometries (S1,S2)(S_1, S_2) satisfying the orthogonality condition mentioned above.
