Summary: We characterize the parts of a vector-valued adjoint shift operator using operator inequalities and a stability condition. The characterization applies in a class of weighted shifts containing the classical Hardy shift operator as well as the full scale of standard weighted Bergman shift operators on the unit disc. Related operator models form an integral part in recent work on generalized mathematical systems theory and Bergman inner functions.
