SELF-ADJOINT INTERPOLATION FOR OPERATORS IN TRIDIAGONAL ALGEBRAS

Let \(e_1 ,e_2 , \ldots \) be the standard orthonormal basis of \(\ell^2\) and let \(\mathcal L\) be the subspace lattice generated by \([e_{2k-1}], [e_{2k-1}, e_{2k}, e_{2k+1}]\), where \(k \in \mathbb N\). Given finite or infinite sequences \(X_1 , X_2 , \ldots \) and \(Y_1 , Y_2 , \ldots \) of bounded operators on \(\ell^2\), the authors study the interpolation question whether there exists a self-adjoint diagonal operator \(A\) such that \(AX_p=Y_p\) for all \(p\). For just two operators \(X\) and \(Y\), an old result of Douglas says that there exists a (not necessarily self-adjoint or diagonal) operator \(A\) such that \(AX=Y\) iff there is \(c \geq 0\) such that \(\| Y f \| \leq c \| X f \| \) for all \(f \in \ell^2\). Assume that there is a permutation \(\sigma\) of \(\mathbb N\) such that \(x_{i ,\sigma(i)}\neq 0\) for all \(i\), where \(X=[x_{i,j}]\). The authors show that there exists a diagonal and selfadjoint operator \(A\) with \(AX=Y\) if and only if \(\overline{x_{i,\sigma (i)}} y_{i,\sigma (i)}\) is real for all \(i\) and there is \(c \geq 0\) such that \(\| \sum_{i=1}^n E_i Y f_i \| \leq c \| \sum_{i=1}^n E_i X f_i \| \) for all \(n\), \(E_i \in \mathcal L\) and \(f_i \in \ell^2\). A similar criterion for finite and infinite tuples \(X_1,X_2, \ldots \) and \(Y_1 , Y_2, \ldots \) is also established.
