Every composition operator is (mean) asymptotically Toeplitz

Nazarov and Shapiro recently showed that, while composition operators on the Hardy space H² can only trivially be Toeplitz, or even “Toeplitz plus compact,” it is an interesting problem to determine which of them can be “asymptotically Toeplitz.” I show here that if “asymptotically” is interpreted in, for example, the Cesàro (C,α) sense (α>0), then every composition operator on H² becomes asymptotically Toeplitz.     

Toeplitz and composition operators on H2 (B n)

The composition operators with closed rangc on H²(B _n) are characterized, and the Fredholmness of products of Toeplitz and composition operators discussed. Moreover, using composition operators, the spectra of Toeplitz operators are studied.

TOEPLITZ OPERATORS ON HEISENBERG GROUP

Denote by Ω the Siegel domain in Cn, n 〉 1. In this paper, we study the essential spectra of Toeplitz operators defined on the Hardy space H2（а↓Ω）. In addition, the characteristic equation of analytic Toeplitz operators iааs obtained.     

On composition operators onH p -spaces in several variables

In this paper, we prove that a composition operator onH ^p (B) is Fredholm if and only if it is invertible if and only if its symbol is an automorphism onB, and give the representation of the spectra of a class of composition operators. In addition, using composition operator, we discuss intertwining Toeplitz operators. Supported by NNSF and PDSF     

On operators commuting with Toeplitz operators modulo the compact operators

We prove that an operator on H² of the disc commutes modulo the compacts with all analytic Toeplitz operators if and only if it is a compact perturbation of a Toeplitz operator with symbol in H^∞ + C. Consequently, the essential commutant of the whole Toeplitz algebra is the algebra of Toeplitz operators with symbol in QC. The image in the Calkin algebra of the Toeplitz operators with symbol in H^∞ + C is a maximal abelian algebra. These results lead to a characterization of automorphisms of the algebra of compact perturbations of the analytic Toeplitz operators.     

Essential spectra of quasi-parabolic composition operators on Hardy spaces of analytic functions

In this work we study the essential spectra of composition operators on Hardy spaces of analytic functions which might be termed as “quasi-parabolic.” This is the class of composition operators on H² with symbols whose conjugate with the Cayley transform on the upper half-plane are of the form φ(z)=z+ψ(z), where ψ∈H^∞(H) and ℑ(ψ(z))>?>0. We especially examine the case where ψ is discontinuous at infinity. A new method is devised to show that this type of composition operator fall in a C*-algebra of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers. This method enables us to provide new examples of essentially normal composition operators and to calculate their essential spectra.     

The p-approximation property in terms of density of finite rank operators

We characterize the p-approximation property (p-AP) introduced by Sinha and Karn [D.P. Sinha, A.K. Karn, Compact operators whose adjoints factor through subspaces of ?p, Studia Math. 150 (2002) 17-33] in terms of density of finite rank operators in the spaces of p-compact and of adjoints of p-summable operators. As application, the p-AP of dual Banach spaces is characterized via density of finite rank operators in the space of quasi-p-nuclear operators. This relates the p-AP to Saphar's approximation property APp^′. As another application, the p-AP is characterized via a trace condition, allowing to define the trace functional on certain subspaces of the space of nuclear operators.     

Spectral theory for algebraic combinations of Toeplitz and composition operators

We determine the essential spectra of algebraic combinations of Toeplitz operators with continuous symbol and composition operators induced by a class of linear-fractional non-automorphisms of the unit disk. The operators in question act on the Hardy space H² on the unit disk. Our method is to realize the C^*-algebra that they generate as an extension of the compact operators by a concrete C^*-algebra whose invertible elements are easily characterized.     

Asymptotic behaviours and generalized Toeplitz operators

We study some generalized Toeplitz operators associated to operators T on a Hilbert space H, for which there exists the limit of {‖Tnh‖} for every h∈H. We refer to the asymptotic limit ST of such a T, in the sense of [L. Kerchy, Operators with regular norm-sequences, Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 63 (1997) 571-605; L. Kerchy, Generalized Toeplitz operators, Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 68 (2002) 373-400; G. Cassier, Generalized Toeplitz operators, restrictions to invariant subspaces and similarity problems, J. Operator Theory 53 (1) (2005) 101-140; C.S. Kubrusly, An Introduction to Models and Decompositions in Operator Theory, Birkhäuser, Boston, 1997], and we give some conditions of ergodicity for T. Also, certain results of Douglas [R.G. Douglas, On the operator equation S^∗XT=X and related topics, Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 30 (1969) 19-32] involving generalized Toeplitz operators are extended in our more general setting, and we apply these results to ρ-contractions.     

Some results for operators on a model space

We investigate some problems for truncated Toeplitz operators. Namely, the solvability of the Riccati operator equation on the set of all truncated Toeplitz operators on the model space K _θ = H²ΘθH² is studied. We study in terms of Berezin symbols invertibility of model operators. We also prove some results for the Berezin number of the truncated Toeplitz operators. Moreover, we study some property for H²-functions in terms of noncyclicity of co-analytic Toeplitz operators and hypercyclicity of model operators.     

Toeplitz operators on Bergman spaces

Let ? be an element in \(H^\infty (D) + C(\overline D )\) such that ?^* is locally sectorial. In this paper it is shown that the Toeplitz operator defined on the Bergman spaceA ² (D) is Fredholm. Also, it is proved that ifS is an operator onA ²(D) which commutes with the Toeplitz operatorT _? whose symbol ? is a finite Blaschke product, thenS H ^∞ (D) is contained inH ^∞ (D). Moreover, some spectral properties of Toeplitz operators are discussed, and it is shown that the spectrum of a class of Toeplitz operators defined on the Bergman spaceA ² (D), is not connected.     

Unitary Equivalence, Similarity and Calculation of K0-Group

In this paper, we are concerned with the classification of operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces, in the unitary equivalence sense and the similarity sense, respectively. We show that two strongly irreducible operators A and B are unitary equivalent if and only if W＊（A＋B）′≈M2（C）, and two operators A and B in B1（Ω） are similar if and only if A′（AGB）/J≈M2（C）. Moreover, we obtain V（H^∞（Ω,μ）≈N and Ko（H^∞（Ω,μ）≈Z by the technique of complex geometry, where Ω is a bounded connected open set in C, and μ is a completely non-reducing measure on Ω.     

Unbounded Toeplitz Operators

This partly expository article develops the basic theory of unbounded Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space H ², with emphasis on operators whose symbols are not square integrable. Unbounded truncated Toeplitz operators on coinvariant subspaces of H ² are also studied. In memory of Paul R. Halmos     

Joint hyponormality of composition operators with linear fractional symbols

We study joint hyponormality and joint subnormality of ofn-tuples of commuting composition operators with linear fractional symbols, acting on the Hardy spaceH ². We also consider subnormality ofn-tuples of adjoints of composition operators.     

Which linear-fractional composition operators are essentially normal?

We characterize the essentially normal composition operators induced on the Hardy space H² by linear-fractional maps; they are either compact, normal, or (the nontrivial case) induced by parabolic nonautomorphisms. These parabolic maps induce the first known examples of nontrivially essentially normal composition operators. In addition, we characterize those linear-fractionally induced composition operators on H² that are essentially self-adjoint, and present a number of results for composition operators induced by maps that are not linear-fractional.     

Berezin-Toeplitz quantization and composition formulas

Extending results in [L.A. Coburn, The measure algebra of the Heisenberg group, J. Funct. Anal. 161 (1999) 509-525; L.A. Coburn, On the Berezin-Toeplitz calculus, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 129 (11) (2001) 3331-3338] we derive composition formulas for Berezin-Toeplitz operators with i.g. unbounded symbols in the range of certain integral transforms. The question whether a finite product of Berezin-Toeplitz operators is an operator of this type again can be answered affirmatively in several cases, but there are also well-known counter examples. We explain some consequences of such formulas to C^∗-algebras generated by Toeplitz operators.     

Symbols of truncated Toeplitz operators

We consider three topics connected with coinvariant subspaces of the backward shift operator in Hardy spaces Hp:

-

properties of truncated Toeplitz operators;

-

Carleson-type embedding theorems for the coinvariant subspaces;

-

factorizations of pseudocontinuable functions from H¹.

These problems turn out to be closely connected and even, in a sense, equivalent. The new approach based on the factorizations allows us to answer a number of challenging questions about truncated Toeplitz operators posed by D. Sarason.     

Products of composition and analytic Toeplitz operators

We will consider the problem of which the products of composition and analytic Toeplitz operators would be bounded or compact on the Hardy space H² and the Bergman space L_a².     

Berezin-Toeplitz quantization on Lie groups

Let K be a connected compact semisimple Lie group and KC its complexification. The generalized Segal-Bargmann space for KC is a space of square-integrable holomorphic functions on KC, with respect to a K-invariant heat kernel measure. This space is connected to the “Schrödinger” Hilbert space L²(K) by a unitary map, the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform. This paper considers certain natural operators on L²(K), namely multiplication operators and differential operators, conjugated by the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform. The main results show that the resulting operators on the generalized Segal-Bargmann space can be represented as Toeplitz operators. The symbols of these Toeplitz operators are expressed in terms of a certain subelliptic heat kernel on KC. I also examine some of the results from an infinite-dimensional point of view based on the work of L. Gross and P. Malliavin.     

Toeplitz operators on generalised H2 spaces

Some aspects are developed of the theory of Toeplitz operators on generalised HardyH ² spaces associated to function algebras. It is shown that a substantial number of results of the classical theory of Toeplitz operators on the circle extend to this situation, although counterexamples are given which show that there are also important differences. Spectral connectedness results are obtained, and a characterisation of invertibility for Toeplitz operators. The Fredholm theory is also studied.
