Tensor product of \(n\)-isometries (Q417593): Difference between revisions

A Hilbert space operator \(A\) is an \(m\)-isometry if \(\sum\limits_{k=0}^{m} \left( -1\right) ^{k}\binom{k}{m}A^{\ast m-k}A^{m-k}=0\). Using delicate combinatorial results, the author proves that the tensor product of an \(m\)-isometry \(A\) with an \(n\)-isometry \(B\) is an \((m+n-1)\)-isometry. This proves a conjecture of \textit{F. Botelho} and \textit{J. Jamison} [Linear Algebra Appl. 432, No. 1, 357--365 (2010; Zbl 1182.47034)].
