Wold-type decomposition for doubly twisted left-invertible covariant representations

TL;DR
The paper develops a Wold-type decomposition framework for covariant representations of $C^*$-correspondences that are near-isometric and extends it to doubly twisted left-invertible covariant representations on product systems. It introduces a doubly twisted, left-invertible setting with unitary twists $U_{ij}$ and defines key wandering-subspace structures $\mathcal{N}_{\beta}$ to analyze invariant/reducing subspaces. The main result shows that, under suitable per-component decompositions, one can build a multivariate decomposition of the ambient space into $2^m$ reducing subspaces $\mathcal{K}_{\beta}$, such that restricted blocks realize a Wold-type decomposition for subproduct systems $\mathbb{E}_{\beta}$ over $\mathbb{Z}_+^{\beta}$, while the remaining coordinates are induced or invertible. This canonical multivariate structure advances the understanding of covariant representations in product systems and has potential implications for operator-algebraic dynamics and multivariable noncommutative dilation theory.
Abstract
We will introduce the notion of a near-isometric covariant representation of a $C^*$-correspondence and prove its Wold-type decomposition. Wold-type decomposition for doubly twisted left-invertible covariant representations of a product system is also obtained.
