Abstract
A -tuple of commuting bounded operators on a Hilbert space is called a \textit{-contraction} if is a spectral set for Let and be tuples of commuting bounded operators defined on a Hilbert space with for and . We say that is a -contraction if is a spectral set for . We derive various properties of -contractions and -contractions and establish a relationship between them. We discuss the fundamental equations for -contractions and -contractions. We explore the structure of -unitaries and -unitaries and elaborate on the relationship between them. We also study various properties of -isometries and -isometries. We discuss the Wold Decomposition for a -isometry and a -isometry. We further outline the structure theorem for a pure -isometry and a pure -isometry.
