Abstract.
A multicontraction on a Hilbert space \(\user1{\mathcal{H}}\) is an n-tuple of operators T = (T1,..., T n ) acting on \(\user1{\mathcal{H}}\), such that \(\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^n {T_i T_i^* \, \leq \,1_\user1{\mathcal{H}}}\). We obtain some results related to the characteristic function of a commuting multicontraction, most notably discussing its behaviour with respect to the action of the analytic automorphisms of the unit ball.
