Uniqueness of fundamental operators for Theta_n-contractions
Determine whether the tuples of fundamental operators associated with a Theta_n-contraction are uniquely determined by the operator tuple. Specifically, establish whether, for a Theta_n-contraction mathbf T=(T_1,ldots,T_n), the tuples (A_0^{(i)},ldots,A_p^{(i)}) in the fundamental equations are uniquely determined for every 1leq ileq n-1.

This naturally leads to the following question for the broader class of $\mathbf{\Theta}_n$-contractions: are the tuples
(A_0{(i)},\ldots,A_p{(i)}), \qquad 1\leq i\leq n-1, uniquely determined by $\mathbf T$? To the best of our knowledge, this problem remains open.
