Abstract

In this chapter we study isometric and unitary dilations. These concepts are due to Sz.-Nagy and they have no analogue in linear algebra, that is, they are genuinely infinite dimensional concepts. Indeed their natural framework is that of infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. From now on we assume that the reader is acquainted with elementary facts concerning operators in Hilbert space, as presented in [RieszSz.-N].
