Extension unitaire et fonctions de représentation d'une contraction de classe \(C_ 1\) (Unitary extension and representating functions of a contraction of class \(C_ 1.)\) (Q1069105)

The authors study properties of a contraction operator T on a Hilbert space which is in the class \(C_ 1\). in the sense of Sz.-Nagy and Foias. They obtain an explicit limit expression for the Fourier coefficients of the scalar spectral measure for the *-residual part of the minimal unitary dilation of T. Various refinements of the Szegö infimum theorem and of the functional calculus of T are developed in this setting.
