Dilation and Model Theory for Pairs of Commuting Contractions
Joseph A. Ball, Haripada Sau
This manuscript is an effort to extend the Sz.-Nagy--Foias dilation and model theory for a single contraction to the case of commuting pair of contractions. Fundamental to the Sz.-…
Functional Models for Commuting Hilbert-space Contractions
Joseph A. Ball, Haripada Sau
We develop a Sz.-Nagy--Foias-type functional model for a commutative contractive operator tuple having equal to a completel…
Dilation theory and functional models for tetrablock contractions
Joseph A. Ball, Haripada Sau
A classical result of Sz.-Nagy asserts that a Hilbert space contraction operator can be dilated to a unitary $\cU$. A more general multivariable setting for these ideas is the…
Toeplitz operators and Hilbert modules on the symmetrized polydisc
Tirthankar Bhattacharyya, B. Krishna Das, Haripada Sau
When is the collection of -Toeplitz operators with respect to a tuple of commuting bounded operators , which has the symmetri…
Models for q-commutative tuples of isometries
Joseph A. Ball, Haripada Sau
A pair of Hilbert space linear operators is said to be -commutative, for a unimodular complex number , if . A concrete functional model for -co…
