The structure of twisted power partial isometries (2211.07753v1)

Abstract: Let $n>1$ and let ${U_{ij}}{1\leq i<j\leq n}$ be $n\choose 2$ commuting unitaries on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Suppose $U{ji}:=U^*_{ij}$, $1\leq i<j\leq n$. An n-tuple of power partial isometries $(V_1,...,V_n)$ on Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is called $\mathcal{U}n$-twisted power partial isometry with respect to ${U{ij}}{i<j}$ (or simply $\mathcal{U}_n$-twisted power partial isometry if ${U{ij}}{i<j}$ is clear from the context) if $V_i^*V_j=U{ij}V_jV^*_i, ~~ V_iV_j=U_{ji}V_jV_i \text{and} V_kU_{ij}=U_{ij}V_k~~(i,j,k=1,2,...,n,~\text{and}~i\neq j).$ We prove that each $\mathcal{U}_n$-twisted power partial isometry admits a Halmos and Wallen \cite{HW70} type orthogonal decomposition.
