In particular, for $Q=qI_{\\mathcal{H}}$, where $q$ is a complex number of modulus $1$, this gives, as a corollary, an explicit construction of isometric dilations for pairs of $q$-commuting contractions which are well studied. There is an extended notion of $q$-commutativity for general tuples of operators and it is known that isometric dilation does not hold, in general, for an $n$-tuple of $q$-commuting contractions, where $n\\geq 3$. Generalizing the class of commuting contractions considered by Brehmer [8], we construct a class of $n$-tuples of $q$-commuting contractions and find isometric dilations explicitly for the class.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-19T15:00:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "commuting contractions", "isometric dilation", "andos dilation", "generalization", "explicit construction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
