RONALD G. DOUGLAS AND CONSTANZE LIAWAbstract. For fixed n∈ N, we consider a family of rank nunitary perturbations of acompletely non-unitary contraction (cnu) with deficiency indices (n,n) on a separableHilbert space.We relate the unitary dilation of such a contraction to its rank n unitary per-turbations. Based on this construction, we prove that the spectra of the perturbedoperators are purely singular if and only if the operator-valued characteristic func-tion corresponding to the unperturbed operator is inner. In the case where n= 1 thelatter statement reduces to a well-known result in the theory of rank one perturba-tions. However, our method of proof via the theory of dilations extends to the caseof arbitrary n∈ N.We find a formula for the operator-valued characteristic functions correspondingto a family of related cnu contractions. In the case where n= 1, the characteristicfunction of the original contraction we obtain a simple expression involving the nor-malized Cauchy transform of a certain measure. An application of this representationthen enables us to control the jump behavior of this normalized Cauchy transform“across” the unit circle.
