Bercovici", "D. Timotin" ], "categories": [ "math.FA" ], "abstract": "Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if = for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every A-invariant operator is the compression to H of an unbounded linear transformation that commutes with the minimal unitary dilation of A. This result was proved by Sarason under the additional hypothesis that A is of class C_{00}, leading to an intrinsic characterization of the truncated Toeplitz operators. We also adapt to our more general context other results about truncated Toeplitz operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-28T15:41:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47A45", "47B35" ], "keywords": [ "operators invariant relative", "nonunitary contraction", "truncated toeplitz operators", "minimal unitary dilation", "special case" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
