Abstract

© 2018 Elsevier Inc. A set Ω is a spectral set for an operator T if the spectrum of T is contained in Ω, and von Neumann's inequality holds for T with respect to the algebra R(Ω) of rational functions with poles off of Ω‾. It is a complete spectral set if for all r∈N, the same is true for Mr(C)⊗R(Ω). The rational dilation problem asks, if Ω is a spectral set for T, is it a complete spectral set for T? There are natural multivariable versions of this. There are a few cases where rational dilation is known to hold (eg, over the disk and bidisk), and some where it is known to fail, for example over the Neil parabola, a distinguished variety in the bidisk. The Neil parabola is naturally associated to a constrained subalgebra of the disk algebra C+z2A(D). Here it is shown that such a result is generic for a large class of varieties associated to constrained algebras. This is accomplished in part by finding a minimal set of test functions. In addition, an Agler–Pick interpolation theorem is given and it is proved that there exist Kaijser–Varopoulos style examples of non-contractive unital representations where the generators are contractions.
