Title: Linear contractions

Abstract:
The unital universal operator algebra generated by a contraction is 
considered; for example we show it is contractible and
explore its close connection with the universal operator algebra of a 
partial isometry. This talk continues from my recent talk on partial 
isometries but does not depend on it.
