On unilateral weighted shifts in noncommutative operator theory (Q952591)

The author studies the \(n\)-tuple \(M_z\) of multiplication operators by the complex variables \(z_1,\dots,z_n\) on the closure of polynomials in \(\mathbb C^n\) with respect to a rotationally symmetric, positive measure supported by the unit ball. The interplay between a weighted shift representation of these operators and the functional model leads to a characterization of the operator algebra generated by \(M_z\). In the background of the proof lie a multivariate moment problem and von Neumann type inequalities.
