The Abstract Interpolation Problem and Commutant Lifting: A Coordinate-free Approach (original) (raw)

2000, Operator Theory and Interpolation

We present a coordinate-free formulation of the Abstract Interpolation Problem introduced by Katsnelson, Kheifets and Yuditskii in an abstract scattering theory framework. We also show how the commutant lifting theorem fits into this new formulation of the Abstract Interpolation Problem, giving a coordinate-free version of a result of Kupin.

A commutant lifting theorem on the polydisc

Indiana University Mathematics Journal, 1999

Interpolation problems for bounded analytic functions in the unit disk have been studied for at least one century. The simplest ones are the Nevanlinna-Pick case, in which the constraints on the functions are the values in a finite number of points, and the Caratheodory-Fejer, where the first finite number of Taylor coefficients of the development of a function are prescribed. In all these cases, one imposes a size constraint on the function: say, its supremum norm should be smaller than 1.

The Inverse Commutant Lifting Problem: Characterization of Associated Redheffer Linear-Fractional Maps

2010

It is known that the set of all solutions of a commutant lifting and other interpolation problems admits a Redheffer linear-fractional parametrization. The method of unitary coupling identifies solutions of the lifting problem with minimal unitary extensions of a partially defined isometry constructed explicitly from the problem data. A special role is played by a particular unitary extension, called the central or universal unitary extension. The coefficient matrix for the Redheffer linear-fractional map has a simple expression in terms of the universal unitary extension. The universal unitary extension can be seen as a unitary coupling of four unitary operators (two bilateral shift operators together with two unitary operators coming from the problem data) which has special geometric structure. We use this special geometric structure to obtain an inverse theorem (Theorem 8.4 as well as Theorem 9.3) which characterizes the coefficient matrices for a Redheffer linear-fractional map arising in this way from a lifting problem. When expressed in terms of Hellinger-space functional models (Theorem 10.3), these results lead to generalizations of classical results of Arov and to characterizations of the coefficient matrix-measures of the lifting problem in terms of the density properties of the corresponding model spaces. The main tool is the formalism of unitary scattering systems developed in [18], [45].

An Abstract Interpolation Problem and the Extension Theory of Hermitian Operators

2007

The algebraic structure of V.P. Potapov's Fundamental Matrix Inequality (FMI) is discussed and its interpolation meaning is analyzed. Functional model spaces are involved. A general Abstract Interpolation Problem is formulated which seems to cover all the classical and recent problems in the field and the solution set of this problem is described using the Arov--Grossman formula. The extension theory of isometric operators is the proper language for treating interpolation problems of this type.

Abstract Interpolation in Vector-Valued de Branges–Rovnyak Spaces

Integral Equations and Operator Theory, 2011

Following ideas from the Abstract Interpolation Problem of for Schur class functions, we study a general metric constrained interpolation problem for functions from a vector-valued de Branges-Rovnyak space ℋ( ) associated with an operator-valued Schur class function . A description of all solutions is obtained in terms of functions from an associated de Branges-Rovnyak space satisfying only a bound on the de Branges-Rovnyak-space norm. Attention is also paid to the case that the map which provides this description is injective. The interpolation problem studied here contains as particular cases (1) the vector-valued version of the interpolation problem with operator argument considered recently in [4] (for the nondegenerate and scalar-valued case) and (2) a boundary interpolation problem in ℋ( ). In addition, we discuss connections with results on kernels of Toeplitz operators and nearly invariant subspaces of the backward shift operator.

INTERPOLATION IN SELF-ADJOINT SETTINGS

We study the operator equation AX = Y , where the operators X and Y are given and the operator A is required to lie in some von Neumann al- gebra. We derive a necessary and sucient condition for the existence of a solu- tionA. The condition is that there must exist a constant K so that, for all nite collections of operatorsfD1;D2;:::;Dng in the commutant, and all collections of vectorsff1;f2;:::;fng ,w e havek Pn j=1DjYfjkKk Pn j=1DjXfjk : We also study the equality kDY fk = KkDXfk, in connection with solving the equation AX = Y where the operator A is required to lie in some CSL algebra.

Interpolation and Transfer-function Realization for the Noncommutative Schur–Agler Class

Operator Theory in Different Settings and Related Applications

The Schur-Agler class consists of functions over a domain satisfying an appropriate von Neumann inequality. Originally defined over the polydisk, the idea has been extended to general domains in multivariable complex Euclidean space with matrix polynomial defining function as well as to certain multivariable noncommutative-operator domains with a noncommutative linear-pencil defining function. Still more recently there has emerged a free noncommutative function theory (functions of noncommuting matrix variables respecting direct sums and similarity transformations). The purpose of the present paper is to extend the Schur-Agler-class theory to the free noncommutative function setting. This includes the positive-kernel-decomposition characterization of the class, transfer-function realization and Pick interpolation theory. A special class of defining functions is identified for which the associated Schur-Agler class coincides with the contractive-multiplier class on an associated noncommutative reproducing kernel Hilbert space; in this case, solution of the Pick interpolation problem is in terms of the complete positivity of an associated Pick matrix which is explicitly determined from the interpolation data.
