This book exposes the internal structure of non-self-adjoint operators acting on complex separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space, by analyzing and studying the commutant of operators. A unique presentation of the theorem of Cowen–Douglas operators is given. The authors take the strongly irreducible operator as a basic model, and find complete similarity invariants of Cowen–Douglas operators by using K-theory, complex geometry and operator algebra tools.
