Abstract: We study non-selfadjoint representations of a finite dimensional real Lie algebra

f g

. To this end we embed a non-selfadjoint representation of

f g

into a more complicated structure, that we call a

f g

-operator vessel and that is associated to an overdetermined linear conservative input/state/output system on the corresponding simply connected Lie group

f G

. We develop the frequency domain theory of the system in terms of representations of

f G

, and introduce the joint characteristic function of a

f g

-operator vessel which is the analogue of the classical notion of the characteristic function of a single non-selfadjoint operator. As the first non-commutative example, we apply the theory to the Lie algebra of the

a x + b

group, the group of affine transformations of the line.

Review text

The representations of a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\), corresponding to a simply connected Lie group \(\mathfrak{G}\), by non-skewselfadjoint operators in Hilbert space are investigated by using an extension of the notion of a colligation/vessel to the non-commuting setting and certain invariant conservative input/state/output systems on \(\mathfrak{G}\). An operator colligation is a collection \((\mathcal{H},\mathcal{E},A,\Phi,\sigma)\) containing two Hilbert spaces \(\mathcal{H}\) and \(\mathcal{E}\), a bounded non-selfadjoint operator \(A:\mathcal{H}\rightarrow \mathcal{H}\), a bounded linear operator \(\Phi:\mathcal{H}\rightarrow \mathcal{E}\) and a bounded selfadjoint operator \(\sigma:\mathcal{E}\rightarrow \mathcal{E}\) satisfying the colligation condition \(A-A^*=i \Phi^*\sigma \Phi\). The characteristic function of the colligation \(S(z)=I-i \Phi (A-z I)^{-1}\Phi^*\sigma\) can be obtained from the time invariant conservative input/state/output system \(i f'(t)+A f(t)=\Phi^*\sigma u(t)\), \(y(t)=u(t)- i \Phi f(t)\). The authors generalize such notions, develop an analogous of frequency domain theory and apply them to the study of the non-skewselfadjoint representations of \(\mathfrak{g}\). In ordered to illustrate the proposed approach, the non-skewselfadjoint representations of the Lie algebra of the group of affine transformations of the line \(ax+b\) are described in detail.
