“Shift Operators on Harmonic Hilbert Function Spaces and von Neumann Inequality”<\/p>\n
Abstract: The classical von Neumann inequality from 1951 puts an upper bound on the norm of the holomorphic polynomial of a Hilbert space operator that is a contraction. Drury in 1978 and Arveson in 1998 generalized this to a tuple of commuting operators that is a row contraction. The upper bound is modified to the norm of the holomorphic polynomial of a tuple of shift operators acting on a specific holomorphic function space now called the Drury-Arveson space.We extend this to a new setting by allowing a harmonic polynomial and a harmonic function space. We define shift operators on harmonic function spaces from scratch, we identify the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces that is the counterpart of the Drury-Arveson space, and provea von Neumann inequality for row contractions that are of harmonic type. A byproduct of our work with shift operators is a new identity for zonal harmonics and hence for Gegenbauer polynomials in terms of the Kelvin transform and derivatives of the fundamental solutions of the Laplacian.
