Abstract
Let T be a spherical completely hyperexpansive m-variable
weighted shift on a complex, separable Hilbert space H
and let Ts denote its spherical Cauchy dual. We
obtain the hyperexpansivity analog of the structure theorem of
Olin-Thomson for the C*-algebra C*(T) generated by T, under
the natural assumption that Ts is commuting. If, in
addition, the defect operator I - T1T*1 - ... - TmT*m is
compact then we ensure exactness of the sequence of C*-algebras
0 → C(H)
→ C*(T) →
C(σap(T)) → 0,
where C(H) stands for the ideal of compact operators on H, and π : C*(T) → C(σap(T))
is the unital *-homomorphism defined by
π(Ti)= zi (i=1, ..., m). This unifies and generalizes the
results of Coburn, 1973/74 and Arveson, 1998. We further
illustrate our results by exhibiting a one parameter family
F of spherical completely hyperexpansive 2-tuples
Tνλ acting on P2(μλ) (1 ≦ λ ≦
2), where dμλ:= dνλ dσ,
νλ is a probability measure on [0, 1], and σ
is the normalized surface area measure on the unit sphere ∂B. Interestingly, within the family F, the
Szegö 2-shift Tν1 and the Drury-Arveson
2-shift Tν2 occupy the extreme positions. We would like to
emphasize that Tνλ is unitarily equivalent to the
multiplication operator tuples in P2(μλ) if and only
if λ =1.
