Abstract: This note finds a new characterization of complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernels on the Euclidean unit ball. The classical theory of Sz.-Nagy and Foias about the characteristic function is extended in this note to a commuting tuple of bounded operators satisfying the natural positivity condition of 1/k-contractivity for an irreducible unitarily invariant complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernel. The characteristic function is a multiplier from HkotimescE to HkotimescF, {em factoring} a certain positive operator, for suitable Hilbert spaces cE and cF depending on . There is a converse, which roughly says that if a kernel k {em admits} a characteristic function, then it has to be an irreducible unitarily invariant complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernel. The characterization explains, among other things, why in the literature an analogue of the characteristic function for a Bergman contraction (1/k-contraction where k is the Bergman kernel), when viewed as a multiplier between two vector valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, requires a different (vector valued) reproducing kernel Hilbert space as the domain.
