Unitary equivalence of operators and dilations

Chafiq Benhida (2004)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Given two contractions T and T' such that T'-T is an operator of finite rank, we prove, under some conditions, the unitary equivalence of the unitary parts of the minimal isometric dilations (respectively minimal co-isometric extensions) of T and T'.

Wold-type extension for N-tuples of commuting contractions

Marek Kosiek, Alfredo Octavio (1999)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let (T1,…,TN) be an N-tuple of commuting contractions on a separable, complex, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space ℋ. We obtain the existence of a commuting N-tuple (V1,…,VN) of contractions on a superspace K of ℋ such that each V j extends T j , j=1,…,N, and the N-tuple (V1,…,VN) has a decomposition similar to the Wold-von Neumann decomposition for coisometries (although the V j need not be coisometries). As an application, we obtain a new proof of a result of Słociński (see [9])
