Noncommutative commutant lifting, interpolation, and shift-invariant subspaces

We establish a Sarason-type commutant lifting theorem in the framework of noncommutative Drury-Arveson space and apply it to solve the noncommutative Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem on the noncommutative row ball. In particular, it recovers the classical Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation theorem over the open unit disc. We also provide a Beurling-Lax-Halmos-type characterization of shift-invariant subspaces of noncommutative Drury-Arveson space using dilation theoretic technique.

Liftings and invariant subspaces of Hankel operators

We prove a Hankel-variant commutant lifting theorem. This also uncovers the complete structure of the Beurling-type reducing and invariant subspaces of Hankel operators. Kernel spaces of Hankel operators play a key role in the analysis.

de Branges-Rovnyak spaces which are complete Nevanlinna-Pick spaces

We consider de Branges-Rovnyak spaces of a considerably large class of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and find a characterization for them to be complete Nevanlinna-Pick spaces. This extends as well as recovers earlier characterizations obtained for the Hardy space over the unit disc (\cite{Chu}) as well as for the Drury-Arveson space over the unit ball (\cite{Jesse}). Our characterization takes a complete form for the particular cases of the Hardy space over the polydisc and the Bergman space over the disc. We show that a non-trivial de Branges-Rovnyak space, associated to a contractive multiplier, of the Hardy space over the bidisc or the Bergman space over the unit disc is a complete Nevanlinna-Pick space if and only if it is isometrically isomorphic to the Hardy space over the unit disc. On the contrary, it is shown that non-trivial de Branges-Rovnyak spaces of the Hardy space over the $n$-disc with $n\ge 3$ are never complete Nevanlinna-Pick spaces.

Isometric dilation and Sarason's commutant lifting theorem in several variables

The article deals with isometric dilation and commutant lifting for a class of $n$-tuples $(n \geq 3)$ of commuting contractions. We show that operator tuples in the class dilate to tuples of commuting isometries of BCL type. As a consequence of such an explicit dilation, we show that their von Neumann inequality holds on a one dimensional variety of the closed unit polydisc. On the basis of such a dilation, we prove a commutant lifting theorem of Sarason's type by establishing that every commutant can be lifted to the dilation space in a commuting and norm preserving manner. This further leads us to find yet another class of $n$-tuples $(n\geq 3)$ of commuting contractions each of which possesses isometric dilation.

Factorization of Toeplitz operators

In this article, by considering $T=(T_1,\dots, T_d)$, an $d$-tuple of commuting contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we study $T$-Toeplitz operators which consists of bounded operators $X$ on $\mathcal{H}$ such that \[ T_i^*XT_i=X \] for all $i=1,\dots,d$. We show that any positive $T$-Toeplitz operator can be factorized in terms of an isometric pseudo-extension of $T$. A similar factorization result is also obtained for positive pure lower $T$-Toeplitz operators. However, the latter factorization is obtained in terms of a special type of isometric pseudo-extension of $T$, and a certain difference has been observed between the case $d=2$ and $d>2$. In a more general context, by considering $d$-tuples of commuting contractions $S$ and $T$, we also study $(S, T)$-Toeplitz operators.

$\clw$-hypercontractions and their model

We revisit the study of $\omega$-hypercontractions corresponding to a single weight sequence $\omega=\{\omega_k\}_{k\geq0}$ introduced by Olofsson in \cite{O} and find an analogue of Nagy-Foias characteristic function in this setting. Explicit construction of characteristic functions is obtained and it is shown to be a complete unitary invariant. By considering a multi-weight sequence $\clw$ and $\clw$-hypercontractions we extend Olofsson's work \cite{O} in the multi-variable setting. Model for $\clw$-hypercontractions is obtained by finding their dilations on certain weighted Bergman spaces over the polydisc corresponding to the multi-weight sequence $\clw$. This recovers and provides a different proof of the earlier work of Curto and Vasilescu \cite{CVPoly, CV} for $\gamma$-contractive multi-operators through a particular choice of multi-weight sequence.
