Abstract:
Contractive operators T that are trace class perturbations of a unitary operator U are treated. It is proved that the dimension functions of the absolutely continuous spectrum of T, T∗, and of U coincide. In particular, if U has a purely singular spectrum, then the characteristic function θ of T is a two-sided inner function, i.e., θ(ξ) is unitary a.e. on T. Some corollaries to this result are related to investigations of the asymptotic stability of the operators T and T∗ (the convergence Tn→0 and (T∗)n→0, respectively, in the strong operator topology). The proof is based on an explicit computation of the characteristic function.
