Functional Calculus for Non-Commuting Operators

A Functional Calculus for Pairs of Commuting Polynomially Bounded Operators

A functional calculus valid for the class of absolutely continuous pairs of commuting polynomially bounded operators is defined.

An invariant for pairs of almost commuting unbounded operators

For a wide class of pairs of unbounded selfadjoint operators (A,B) with bounded commutator and with operator (1+A2+B2)−1 being compact we construct aK-theoretical integer invariant ω(A,B), which is continuous, is equal to zero for commuting operators and is equal to one for the pair (x,−i d/dx). Such invariants in the case of bounded operators were constructed by T. Loring [1, 3] for matrices r...

The functional calculus for commuting row contractions

A commuting row contraction is a d-tuple of commuting operators T1, . . . , Td such that ∑d i=1 TiT ∗ i ≤ I. Such operators have a polynomial functional calculus which extends to a norm closed algebra of multipliers Ad on Drury-Arveson space. We characterize those row contractions which admit an extension of this map to a weak-∗ continuous functional calculus on the full multiplier algebra. In ...

The Fredholm index of a pair of commuting operators

This paper concerns Fredholm theory in several variables, and its applications to Hilbert spaces of analytic functions. One feature is the introduction of ideas from commutative algebra to operator theory. Specifically, we introduce a method to calculate the Fredholm index of a pair of commuting operators. To achieve this, we define and study the Hilbert space analogs of Samuel multiplicities i...
