Abstract: Let H^2_m be the Drury-Arveson (DA) module which is the reproducing kernel Hilbert space with the kernel function (z, w) in B^m imes B^m aro (1 - <z,w>)^{-1}. We investigate for which multipliers heta : mathbb{B}^m aro cll(cle, cle_*) the quotient module clh_{ heta} is similar to H^2_m otimes clf for some Hilbert space clf, where M_{ heta} is the corresponding multiplication operator in cll(H^2_m otimes cle, H^2_m otimes cle_*) for Hilbert spaces cle and cle_* and clh_{ heta} is the quotient module (H^2_m otimes cle_*)/ {clos} [M_{ heta}(H^2_m otimes cle)]. We show that a necessary condition is the existence of a multiplier $psi$ in clm(cle_*, cle) such that heta psi heta = heta. Moreover, we show that the converse is equivalent to a structure theorem for complemented submodules of H^2_m otimes cle for a Hilbert space cle, which is valid for the case of m=1. The latter result generalizes a known theorem on similarity to the unilateral shift, but the above statement is new. Further, we show that a finite resolution of DA-modules of arbitrary multiplicity using partially isometric module maps must be trivial. Finally, we discuss the analogous questions when the underlying operator tuple or algebra is not necessarily commuting. In this case the converse to the similarity result is always valid.
