 Title: Analytic Unitary Operators Author(s): Wingler, Eric Jeffrey Department / Program: Mathematics Discipline: Mathematics Degree Granting Institution: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Degree: Ph.D. Genre: Dissertation Subject(s): Mathematics Abstract: Forelli has shown that every linear isometry T from H('p) onto H('p),1 (LESSTHEQ) p < (INFIN), p (NOT=) 2, is of the form Tf = (nu)((phi)')('1/p)f(CCIRC)(phi), where (nu) is a unimodular constant and (phi) is in M, the group of Mobius transformations of the unit disc . For p = 2, the operators of this form are called analytic unitary operators. These operators form a group, which is denoted by OU(,S) and is a proper subgroup of the group U of unitary operators on H('2). The main objective of this work is to investigate operators in OU(,S).The analytic unitary operators are distinguished from the other operators in U by their relation to the shift operator S defined by (Sf) (z) = zf(z) for f in H('2). In Fact, T is in OU(,S) if and only if there is an element (phi) in M such that TST* = (phi)(S). Besides this property, a unitary operator T can be characterized as an analytic unitary operator by either of the following: (1) T can be expressed as the composition of a multiplication operator and a multiplicative operator; (2) TST* commutes with S.A means is given by which the spectra of elements of OU(,S) can be computed and also given is the spectral decomposition of one-parameter groups of analytic unitary operators.In the uniform operator topology, OU(,S) is nowhere dense in U andalso nonseparable. Although OU(,S) is not a normal subgroup of U, thequotient topological space U/OU(,S) = {{U} : U (ELEM) U}, where {U} ={UT : T (ELEM) OU(,S)}, can still be considered. If U has the uniform operator topology, then U/OU(,S) is non-separable in the quotient topology.Operators of the form Tf = ((PHI)')(' 1/2)f(CCIRC)(PHI), where (PHI) is a Mobius transformation mapping into , are also considered. The normal operators of this form are characterized. Issue Date: 1982 Type: Text Description: 65 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1982.
