Commutant lifting theorem

In operator theory, the commutant lifting theorem, due to Sz.-Nagy and Foias, is a powerful theorem used to prove several interpolation results.

Statement

The commutant lifting theorem states that if T is a contraction on a Hilbert space H, U is its minimal unitary dilation acting on some Hilbert space K (which can be shown to exist by Sz.-Nagy's dilation theorem), and R is an operator on H commuting with T, then there is an operator S on K commuting with U such that

RT^{n}=P_{H}SU^{n}\vert _{H}\;\forall n\geq 0,

and

\Vert S\Vert =\Vert R\Vert .

In other words, an operator from the commutant of T can be "lifted" to an operator in the commutant of the unitary dilation of T.

Applications

The commutant lifting theorem can be used to prove the left Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation theorem, the Sarason interpolation theorem, and the two-sided Nudelman theorem, among others.

gollark: I wouldn't actually need decoding in this case.

gollark: I was looking for a JS version but a Python one should be portable.

gollark: Maybe some sort of thing with Hilbert whatsits...

gollark: ★!

gollark: I mean... maybe a similar one with the nice square patterns but not as fixed...
