Abstract: A commuting tuple of operators $(S_1,dots,S_{n-1},P)$, defined on a Hilbert space $mathcalH$, for which the closed symmetrized polydisc [ Gamma_n =left{ left(sum_{1leq ileq n} z_i,sum_{1leq i<jleq n}z_iz_j,dots, prod_{i=1}^n z_i ight): ,|z_i|leq 1, i=1,dots,n ight } ] is a spectral set, is called a $Gamm{a}_n$- extit{contraction}. A $Gamm{a}_n$-contraction is said to be extit{pure} or $C{.}_0$ if $P$ is $C{.}_0$, that is, if ${P^{\ast }}^{n}ightarrow0$ strongly as $nightarrowinfty$. We show that for any $Gamm{a}_n$-contraction $(S_1,dots,S_{n-1},P)$, there is a unique operator tuple $(A_1,dots,A_{n-1})$ that satisfies the operator identities [ S_i-S_{n-i}^*P=D_PA_iD_P,, quad quad i=1,dots, n-1. ] This unique tuple is called the extit{fundamental operator tuple} or $mathcal{F}_O$-tuple of $(S_1,dots,S_{n-1},P)$. With the help of the $mathcal{F}_O$-tuple, we construct an operator model for a $C{.}_0;Gamm{a}_n$-contraction and show that there exist $n-1$ operators $C_1,dots,C_{n-1}$ such that each $S_i$ can be represented as $S_i=C_i+P{C}_{n-i}^{\ast }$. We find an explicit minimal dilation for a class of $C{.}_0;Gamm{a}_n$-contractions whose $mathcal{F}_O$-tuples satisfy a certain condition. Also we establish that the $mathcal{F}_O$-tuple of $(S_1^{\ast },dots,S_{n-1}^{\ast },P^{\ast })$ together with the characteristic function of $P$ constitute a complete unitary invariant for the $C{.}_0$ $Gamm{a}_n$-contractions. The entire program is an analogue of the Nagy-Foias theory for $C{.}_0$ contractions.
