Abstract: We show an interplay between the complex geometry of the tetrablock $mathbbE$ and the commuting triples of operators having $overlinemathbbE$ as a spectral set. We prove that every distinguished variety in the tetrablock is one-dimensional and can be represented as �egin{equation}label{eqn:1} Omega={ (x_1,x_2,x_3)in mathbb E ,:, (x_1,x_2) in sigma_T(A_1^*+x_3A_2,,, A_2^*+x_3A_1) }, end{equation} where $A_1,A_2$ are commuting square matrices of the same order satisfying $[A_1^{\ast },A_1]=[A_2^{\ast },A_2]$ and a norm condition. The converse also holds, i.e, a set of the form ( ef{eqn:1}) is always a distinguished variety in $mathbbE$. We show that for a triple of commuting operators $Upsilon=(T_1,T_2,T_3)$ having $overlinemathbbE$ as a spectral set, there is a one-dimensional subvariety $Omeg{a}_{Upsilon}$ of $overlinemathbbE$ depending on $Upsilon$ such that von-Neumann's inequality holds, i.e, [ f(T_1,T_2,T_3)leq sup_{(x_1,x_2,x_3)inOmega_{Upsilon}}, |f(x_1,x_2,x_3)|, ] for any holomorphic polynomial $f$ in three variables, provided that $T_3^{n}ightarrow0$ strongly as $nightarrowinfty$. The variety $Omeg{a}_{U}psilon$ has been shown to have representation like ( ef{eqn:1}), where $A_1,A_2$ are the unique solutions of the operator equations �egin{gather*} T_1-T_2^*T_3=(I-T_3^*T_3)^{frac{1}{2}}X_1(I-T_3^*T_3)^{frac{1}{2}} ext{ and } \ T_2-T_1^*T_3=(I-T_3^*T_3)^{frac{1}{2}}X_2(I-T_3^*T_3)^{frac{1}{2}}. end{gather*} We also show that under certain condition, $Omeg{a}_{Upsilon}$ is a distinguished variety in $mathbbE$. We produce an explicit dilation and a concrete functional model for such a triple $(T_1,T_2,T_3)$ in which the unique operators $A_1,A_2$ play the main role. Also, we describe a connection of this theory with the distinguished varieties in the bidisc and in the symmetrized bidisc.
