Bi-Isometries and Commutant Lifting
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a previous paper, the authors obtained a model for a bi-isometry, that is, a pair of commuting isometries on complex Hilbert space. This representation is based on the canonical model of Sz. Nagy and the third author. One approach to describing the invariant subspaces for such a bi-isometry using this model is to consider isometric intertwining maps from another such model to the given one. Representing such maps requires a careful study of the commutant lifting theorem and its refinements. Various conditions relating to the existence of isometric liftings are obtained in this note, along with some examples demonstrating the limitations of our results. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46G15, 47A15, 47A20, 47A45, 47B345.

Commutant Lifting for Commuting Row Contractions
The commutant lifting theorem of Sz.Nagy and Foiaş [22, 21] is a central result in the dilation theory of a single contraction. It states that if T ∈ B(H) is a contraction with isometric dilation V acting on K ⊃ H, and TX = XT , then there is an operator Y with ‖Y ‖ = ‖X‖, V Y = Y V and PHY = XPH. This result is equivalent to Ando’s Theorem that two commuting contractions have a joint (power) d...
متن کاملRelaxed Commutant Lifting: Existence of a Unique Solution
Abstract. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution to the relaxed commutant lifting problem. The obtained conditions are more complicated than those for the classical commutant lifting setting, and earlier obtained sufficient conditions turn out not to be necessary conditions. It is also shown that these conditions simplify in certain s...
متن کاملFe b 20 07 Relaxed commutant lifting : an equivalent version and a new application
This paper presents a few additions to commutant lifting theory. An operator interpolation problem is introduced and shown to be equivalent to the relaxed commutant lifting problem. Using this connection a description of all solutions of the former problem is given. Also a new application, involving bounded operators induced by H 2 operator-valued functions, is presented.
متن کاملRelaxed commutant lifting and a relaxed Nehari problem: Redheffer state space formulas
The description of all solutions to the relaxed commutant lifting problem in terms of an underlying contraction, obtained earlier in joint work of the author with A.E. Frazho and M.A. Kaashoek, is transformed into a linear fractional Redheffer state space form. Under certain additional conditions the coefficient functions in this representation are described explicitly in terms of the original ...
متن کاملCommutant lifting theorem for n-tuples of contractions
We show that the commutant lifting theorem for n-tuples of commuting contractions with regular dilations fails to be true. A positive answer is given for operators which ”double intertwine” given n-tuples of contractions. The commutant lifting theorem is one of the most important results of the Sz. Nagy—Foias dilation theory. It is usually stated in the following way: Theorem. Let T and T ′ be ...
