Contractions with Polynomial characteristic functions I. Geometric approach

Operator theory on noncommutative varieties

We develop a dilation theory for row contractions subject to constraints determined by sets of noncommutative polynomials. Under natural conditions on the constraints, we have uniqueness for the minimal dilation. A characteristic function is associated with any (constrained) row contraction. For pure constrained row contraction, we show that the characteristic function is a complete unitary invariant and provide a model. We also show that the curvature invariant and Euler characteristic asssociated with a Hilbert module generated by an arbitrary (resp. commuting) row contraction can be express…

Almost weak polynomial stability of operators

We investigate whether almost weak stability of an operator $T$ on a Banach space $X$ implies its almost weak polynomial stability. We show, using a modified version of the van der Corput Lemma that if $X$ is a Hilbert space and $T$ a contraction, then the implication holds. On the other hand, based on a TDS arising from a two dimensional ODE, we give an explicit example of a contraction on a $C_0$ space that is almost weakly stable, but its appropriate polynomial powers fail to converge weakly to zero along a subsequence of density 1. Finally we provide an application to convergence of polyno…

Contraction and decoupling inequalities for multilinear forms and u-statistics

We prove decoupling inequalities for random polynomials in independent random variables with coefficients in vector space. We use various means of comparison, including rearrangement invariant norms (e.g., Orlicz and Lorentz norms), tail distributions, tightness, hypercontractivity, etc.

A geometric approach to finite rank unitary perturbations

For a fixed natural number n, we consider a family of rank n unitary perturbations of a completely non-unitary contraction (cnu) with deficiency indices (n,n) on a separable Hilbert space. We relate the unitary dilation of such a contraction to its rank n unitary perturbations. Based on this construction, we prove that the spectra of the perturbed operators are purely singular if and only if the operator-valued characteristic function corresponding to the unperturbed operator is inner. In the case where n=1 the latter statement reduces to a well-known result in the theory of rank one perturbat…

On existence of shift-type invariant subspaces for polynomially bounded operator

A particular case of results from [K2] is as follows. Let the unitary asymptote of a contraction $T$ contain the bilateral shift (of finite or infinite multiplicity). Then there exists an invariant subspace $\mathcal M$ of $T$ such that $T|_{\mathcal M}$ is similar to the unilateral shift of the same multiplicity. The proof is based on the Sz.-Nagy--Foias functional model for contractions. In the present paper this result is generalized to polynomially bounded operators, but in the simplest case. Namely, it is proved that if the unitary asymptote of a polynomially bounded operator $T$ contains…

Triangular Tetrablock-contractions, factorization of contractions, dilation and subvarieties

A commuting triple of Hilbert space operators $(A,B,P)$, for which the closed tetrablock $\bar{\mathbb E}$ is a spectral set, is called a \textit{tetrablock-contraction} or simply an $\mathbb E$-\textit{contraction}, where \[ \mathbb E=\{(a_{11},a_{22}, \det A):\, A=[a_{ij}]\in \mathcal M_2(\mathbb C), \; \|A\| <1 \} \subset \mathbb C^3 \] is a polynomially convex domain which is naturally associated with the $μ$-synthesis problem. We introduce triangular $\mathbb E$-contractions and prove that every pure triangular $\mathbb E$-contraction dilates to a pure triangular $\mathbb E$-isometry. We …

Unitary invariants on the unit ball of B(H)^n

In this paper, we introduce a unitary invariant $Γ$ defined on the unit ball of $B(H)^n$ in terms of the characteristic function, the noncommutative Poisson kernel, and the defect operator associated with a row contraction. We show that $Γ$ detects the pure row isometries and completely classify them up to a unitary equivalence. We also show that $Γ$ detects the pure row contractions with polynomial characteristic functions and completely non-coisometric row contractions. In particular, we show that any completely non-coisometric row contraction with constant characteristic function is homogen…
