Isometric Dilations for Representations of Product Systems

We discuss representations of product systems (of $W^*$-correspondences) over the semigroup $\mathbb{Z}^n_+$ and show that, under certain pureness and Szego positivity conditions, a completely contractive representation can be dilated to an isometric representation. For $n=1,2$ this is known to hold in general (without assuming the conditions) but, for $n\geq 3$, it does not hold in general (as is known for the special case of isometric dilations of a tuple of commuting contractions). Restricting to the case of tuples of commuting contractions, our result reduces to a result of Barik, Das, Haria and Sarkar. Our dilation is explicitly constructed and we present some applications.

Representations of B^a(E)

We present a short and elegant proof of the complete theory of strict representations of the algebra B^a(E) of all adjointable operators on a Hilbert B-module E by operators on a Hilbert C-module F. Aanalogue for W*-modules and normal representations is also proved. As an application we furnish a new proof of Blecher's Eilenberg-Watts theorem.
