The matricial range of E₂₁

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2003391




Abstract: The matricial range of the 2imes2 matrix E21 (i.e., the 2imes2 unilateral shift) is described very simply: it consists of all matrices with numerical radius at most 1/2. The known proofs of this simple statement, however, are far from trivial and they depend on subtle results on dilations. We offer here a brief introduction to the matricial range and a recap of those two proofs, following independent work of Arveson and Ando in the early 1970s.
