Unitary perturbations of compressed n-dimensional shifts

Abstract: Given a purely contractive matrix-valued analytic function

T h e t a

on the unit disc

, we study the

m c U (n)

-parameter family of unitary perturbations of the operator

Z_{T} h e t a

of multiplication by

z

in the Hilbert space

L_{T}^{2} h e t a

of

n -

component vector-valued functions on the unit circle

which are square integrable with respect to the matrix-valued measure

O m_{T} h e t a

determined uniquely by

T h e t a

and the matrix-valued Herglotz representation theorem. In the case where

T h e t a

is an extreme point of the unit ball of bounded

-valued functions we verify that the

m c U (n)

-parameter family of unitary perturbations of

Z_{T} h e t a^{*}

is unitarily equivalent to a

m c U (n)

-parameter family of unitary perturbations of

X_{T} h e t a

, the restriction of the backwards shift in

, the Hardy space of

valued functions on the unit disc, to

K_{T}^{2} h e t a

, the de Branges-Rovnyak space constructed using

T h e t a

. These perturbations are higher dimensional analogues of the unitary perturbations introduced by D.N. Clark in the case where

T h e t a

is a scalar-valued (

n = 1

) inner function, and studied by E. Fricain in the case where

T h e t a

is scalar-valued and an extreme point of the unit ball of

... A matrix-valued disintegration theorem for the Aleksandrov-Clark measures associated with matrix-valued contractive analytic functions

T h e t a

is obtained as a consequence of the Weyl integration formula for

m c U (n)

applied to the family of unitary perturbations of

Z_{T} h e t a
