Dilation of an operator

Let $Tin B(mathcal{H})$. Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilation_(operator_theory)
dilation of the operator $T$ is an operator on a larger Hilbert space $K$, whose restriction to $mathcal{H}$ composed with the orthogonal projection $P$ onto $mathcal{H}$ is $T$.



I have several questions about this definition. Is there another version of this definition? Is the operator $P$ always projection? I mean could one find a larger Hilbert space $K$ and operators $V, U$ on $K$, when $U$ is not an orthogonal projection, such that $UV|_{mathcal{H}}= T$?

          Your candidate for a definition is exactly the same definition of dilation you quoted. If $UV|_H=T$, then since $PT=T$ you have $PUV|_H=T$, and so $UV$ is a dilation of $T$ in the sense of your first paragraph.



          A "dilation" has to be a "dilation". The spirit is that you have $T$ (typically, $T$ is a contraction), and you get a dilation $$tilde T=begin{bmatrix} T&A\ B& Cend{bmatrix}$$ that is better behaved, say $tilde T$ is a unitary, or a projection.

            Another version:



            Theorem: Let $A$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $mathcal{H}$ with $|A|le 1$. There there exists a Hilbert space $mathcal{K}$, an isometry $V : mathcal{H}rightarrowmathcal{K}$, and a unitary operator $U : mathcal{K}rightarrowmathcal{K}$ such that
            $$
            A^n = V^*U^n V mbox{ for all } n ge 0.
