Functional Model for Isometric Pairs Satisfying an Automorphic Covariance Relation - I
Abstract
We derive a canonical functional model for a pair of isometric operators (V1, V2) acting on a Hilbert space β that satisfy the automorphic covariance relation V1 V2 = V2 Ο(V1), where Ο is an automorphism of the unit disk π». This extends the classical Bercovici--Douglas--Foias functional model for commuting isometric pairs to a dynamically twisted setting. When both V1 and V2 are pure isometries (shifts), the model simplifies to (Mz, MΞ WΟ*) acting on H2(β±), where WΟ is a unitary weighted composition operator on the Hardy space H2 and Ξβ Hβ(π», β¬(β±)) is an operator-valued inner function such that MΞ is a shift. As an application, we establish a complete unitary classification theorem for automorphically covariant isometric pairs by identifying a complete set of joint unitary invariants. Notably, our results are novel even in the special case of rotation automorphisms (V1 V2 = q V2 V1 with |q| = 1).

AB - We derive a canonical functional model for a pair of isometric operators (V_1, V_2) acting on a Hilbert space β that satisfy the automorphic covariance relation V_1 V_2 = V_2 Ο(V_1), where Ο is an automorphism of the unit disk π». This extends the classical Bercovici--Douglas--Foias functional model for commuting isometric pairs to a dynamically twisted setting. When both V_1 and V_2 are pure isometries (shifts), the model simplifies to (M_z, M_Ξ W_Ο^*) acting on H^2(β±), where W_Ο is a unitary weighted composition operator on the Hardy space H^2 and Ξβ H^β(π», β¬(β±)) is an operator-valued inner function such that M_Ξ is a shift. As an application, we establish a complete unitary classification theorem for automorphically covariant isometric pairs by identifying a complete set of joint unitary invariants. Notably, our results are novel even in the special case of rotation automorphisms (V_1 V_2 = q V_2 V_1 with |q| = 1).
