Algebraic pairs of pure commuting isometries with finite multiplicity

Authors:  Udeni D. Wijesooriya

Summary:  An algebraic isopair is a commuting pair of pure isometries that is annihilated by a polynomial. The notion of the rank of a pure algebraic isopair with finite bimultiplicity is introduced as an $s$-tuple $\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_s)$ of natural numbers. A pure algebraic isopair of finite bimultiplicity with rank $\alpha$, acting on a Hilbert space, is nearly $\max\{\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_s\}$-cyclic and there is a finite codimensional invariant subspace such that the restriction to that subspace is $\max\{\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_s\}$-cyclic.
