Abstract

The non-zero part of compact defect operators of Berger–Coburn–Lebow pairs (BCL pairs) of isometries are diagonal operators of the form (Formula presented.). We discuss the question of constructing an irreducible BCL pair from a diagonal operator of the above type. The answer is sometimes yes, sometimes no. This also partially addresses the question of He, Qin, and Yang. Our explicit constructions of BCL pairs yield concrete examples of pairs of commuting isometries.
