This paper generalizes the classical Sz.-Nagy--Foias $H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$ functional calculus for Hilbert space contractions. In particular, we replace the single contraction $T$ with a tuple $T=(T_1, \dots, T_d)$ of commuting bounded…

We show that many invariant subspaces M for d-shifts (S_1,...,S_d) of finite rank have the property that the projection P onto M almost commutes with the S_k in the sense that the commutators PS_k - S_kP belong to the Schatten-von Neumann…

Given a commuting d-tuple $\bar T=(T_1,...,T_d)$ of otherwise arbitrary nonnormal operators on a Hilbert space, there is an associated Dirac operator $D_{\bar T}$. Significant attributes of the d-tuple are best expressed in terms of…

The matrix normed structure of the unitization of a (non-selfadjoint) operator algebra is determined by that of the original operator algebra. This yields a classification up to completely isometric isomorphism of two-dimensional unital…

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…

A \emph{multicontraction} on a Hilbert space $\HH$ is an $n$-tuple of operators $T=(T_1,...,T_n)$ acting on $\HH$, such that $\sum_{i=1}^n T_i T_i^*\le \1_\HH$. We obtain some results related to the characteristic function of a commuting…

This survey aims to give a brief introduction to operator theory in the Hardy space over the bidisc $H^2(\mathbb D^2)$. As an important component of multivariable operator theory, the theory in $H^2(\mathbb D^2)$ focuses primarily on two…

This note studies Arveson's curvature invariant for d-contractions specialized to the case d=1 of a single contraction operator on a Hilbert space. It establishes a formula which gives an easy-to-understand meaning for the curvature of a…

We develop a Sz.-Nagy--Foias-type functional model for a commutative contractive operator tuple $\underline{T} = (T_1, \dots, T_d)$ having $T = T_1 \cdots T_d$ equal to a completely nonunitary contraction. We identify additional invariants…

A commuting tuple of $n$ operators $(S_1, \dots, S_{n-1}, P)$ defined on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, for which the closed symmetrized polydisc \[ \Gamma_n = \left\{ \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}z_i, \sum\limits_{1\leq i<j\leq n}z_iz_j, \dots,…

We study analytic models of operators of class $C_{\cdot 0}$ with natural positivity assumptions. In particular, we prove that for an $m$-hypercontraction $T \in C_{\cdot 0}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, there exists a Hilbert space…

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…

Let D be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space H and x a bounded operator on H. We say that x is n-times weakly D-differentiable, if for any pair of vectors a, b from H the function < exp(itD)x exp(-itD) a, b> is n-times…

We show that (for the weak operator topology) the set of unitary operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is residual in the set of all contractions. The analogous result holds for isometries and the strong operator…

Let $\mathcal U(d)$ be the group of $d\times d$ unitary matrices. We find conditions to ensure that a $\mathcal U(d)$-homogeneous $d$-tuple $\boldsymbol T$ is unitarily equivalent to multiplication by the coordinate functions on some…

It is known that pure row contractions with one-dimensional defect spaces can be classified up to unitary equivalence by compressions of the standard $d$-shift acting on the full Fock space. Upon settling for a softer relation than unitary…

By a theorem of Dixmier-Douady the unitary group of an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space $H$ in the strong operator topology is contractible. The Dixmier-Douady proof is based on an explicit construction of families of subspaces…

The Drury-Arveson space $H^2_d$, also known as symmetric Fock space or the $d$-shift space, is a Hilbert function space that has a natural $d$-tuple of operators acting on it, which gives it the structure of a Hilbert module. This survey…

Given a countable dense subset D of an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space H the set of operators for which every vector in D except zero is hypercyclic (weakly supercyclic) is residual for the strong (resp. weak) operator topology…

A commuting triple of operators $(A,B,P)$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is called a tetrablock contraction if the closure of the set $$ E = \{\underline{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)\in \mathbb{C}^3: 1-x_1z-x_2w+x_3zw \neq 0 \text{whenever}|z| \leq…
