The Cauchy dual and 2-isometric liftings of concave operators (Q1728027)

The authors start with the construction of two special 2-isometric liftings for the class of concave operators. A~result on extensions of concave operators is proved. A~characterization of a class of concave operators \(T\) which are \({\Delta}_T\)-regular is presented. To a~given concave operator one can associate its Cauchy dual \(T'= T(T*T)^{-1}\). Some properties of the Cauchy dual of \({\Delta}_T\)-regular concave operators are investigated. Quasinormality conditions for the compressions of \(T\) and \(T'\) are studied.
