Abstract
In this paper we first prove certain formulas concerning rational inner fun ctions in one and two complex variables, and then use these formulas to giv e operator theoretic consequences, in particular Ando's inequality for two commuting contractions on Hilbert space. The work in this paper is closely related to earlier work by Jim Agler in [ Ag-1], [Ag-2], [Ag-3].
