Positivity of Toeplitz operators on harmonic Bergman space

In this paper, we study positive Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space via their Berezin transforms. We consider the Toeplitz operators with continuous harmonic symbols on the closed disk and show that the Toeplitz operator is positive if and only if its Berezin transform is nonnegative on the disk. On the other hand, we construct a function such that the Toeplitz operator with this function as the symbol is not positive but its Berezin transform is positive on the disk. We also consider the harmonic Bergman space on the upper half plane and prove that in this case the positive Toeplitz operators with continuous integrable harmonic symbols must be the zero operator.     

Toeplitz operators on the space of analytic functions with logarithmic growth

Continuous and compact Toeplitz operators for positive symbols are characterized on the space of analytic functions with logarithmic growth on the open unit disc of the complex plane. The characterizations are in terms of the behaviour of the Berezin transform of the symbol. The space was introduced and studied by Taskinen. The Bergman projection is continuous on this space in a natural way, which permits to define Toeplitz operators. Sufficient conditions for general symbols are also presented.     

Laurent series for inversion of linearly perturbed bounded linear operators on Banach space

In this paper we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Laurent series expansion with a finite order pole at the origin for the inverse of a linearly perturbed bounded linear operator mapping one Banach space to another. In particular we show that the inversion defines linear projections that separate the Banach spaces into corresponding complementary subspaces. We present two pertinent applications.     

Commutativity of Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Dirichlet space

Compact operators on a Banach space into the space of almost periodic functions

LetS be a topological semigroup andAP(S) the space of continous complex almost periodic functions onS. We obtain characterizations of compact and weakly compact operators from a Banach spaceX into AP(S). For this we use the almost periodic compactification ofS obtained through uniform spaces. For a bounded linear operatorT fromX into AP(S), letT ₅, be the translate ofT bys inS defined byT ₅(x)=(Tx) ₅ . We define topologies on the space of bounded linear operators fromX into AP(S) and obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for an operatorT to be compact or weakly compact in terms of the uniform continuity of the maps→T ₅. IfS is a Hausdorff topological semigroup, we also obtain characterizations of compact and weakly compact multipliers on AP(S) in terms of the uniform continuity of the map S→μ_s, where μ_s denotes the unique vector measure corresponding to the operatorT ₅.     

A question of Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space

Choe and Lee [B.R. Choe, Y.J. Lee, Commuting Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space, Michigan Math. J. 46 (1999) 163-174] put the question: If an analytic Toeplitz operator and a co-analytic Toeplitz operator on the harmonic Bergman space commute, then is one of their symbols constant? If one of their symbols is bounded, then we will show that the answer is yes.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the inversion of linearly-perturbed bounded linear operators on Banach space using Laurent series

Using a Laurent series representation, we present a detailed discussion of necessary and sufficient conditions for the inversion of linearly-perturbed bounded linear operators on Banach space that are singular in the unperturbed state.     

Homomorphisms and composition operators on algebras of analytic functions of bounded type

Let U and V be convex and balanced open subsets of the Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. In this paper we study the following question: given two Fréchet algebras of holomorphic functions of bounded type on U and V, respectively, that are algebra isomorphic, can we deduce that X and Y (or X^* and Y^*) are isomorphic? We prove that if X^* or Y^* has the approximation property and H_wu(U) and H_wu(V) are topologically algebra isomorphic, then X^* and Y^* are isomorphic (the converse being true when U and V are the whole space). We get analogous results for H_b(U) and H_b(V), giving conditions under which an algebra isomorphism between H_b(X) and H_b(Y) is equivalent to an isomorphism between X^* and Y^*. We also obtain characterizations of different algebra homomorphisms as composition operators, study the structure of the spectrum of the algebras under consideration and show the existence of homomorphisms on H_b(X) with pathological behaviors.

Commuting dual Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Dirichlet space

In this paper,we characterize the symbols for(semi-)commuting dual Toeplitz operators on the orthogonal complement of the harmonic Dirichlet space.We show that for φ,ψ∈W~(1,∞),S_φS_ψ=S_ψ Sφ on(D_h)~⊥ if and only if φ and ψ satisfy one of the following conditions:(1) Both φ and ψ are harmonic functions;(2) There exist complex constants α and β,not both 0,such that φ=αψ +β.     

Uniformly continuous superposition operators in the space of bounded variation functions

Let I, J ? ? be intervals. The main result says that if a superposition operator H generated by a function of two variables h: I × J → ?, H (φ)(x) ? h (x, φ (x)), maps the set BV (I, J) of all bounded variation functions, φ: I → J into the Banach space BV (I, ?) and is uniformly continuous with respect to the BV ‐norm, then h (x, y) = a (x)y + b (x), x ∈ I, y ∈ J, for some a, b ∈ BV (I, ?)

Bourgain algebras and tightness in some algebras of analytic functions

We prove that the Bourgain algebra of the polydisk algebra A(Δn) is A(Δn) itself and disprove the tightness of some algebras of analytic functions; in particular that of H^∞(BE).     

Weighted reproducing kernels and Toeplitz operators on harmonic Bergman spaces on the real ball

For the standard weighted Bergman spaces on the complex unit ball, the Berezin transform of a bounded continuous function tends to this function pointwise as the weight parameter tends to infinity. We show that this remains valid also in the context of harmonic Bergman spaces on the real unit ball of any dimension. This generalizes the recent result of C. Liu for the unit disc, as well as the original assertion concerning the holomorphic case. Along the way, we also obtain a formula for the corresponding weighted harmonic Bergman kernels.

     

Power bounded operators and supercyclic vectors II

We show that each power bounded operator with spectral radius equal to one on a reflexive Banach space has a nonzero vector which is not supercyclic. Equivalently, the operator has a nontrivial closed invariant homogeneous subset. Moreover, the operator has a nontrivial closed invariant cone if belongs to its spectrum. This generalizes the corresponding results for Hilbert space operators.

For non-reflexive Banach spaces these results remain true; however, the non-supercyclic vector (invariant cone, respectively) relates to the adjoint of the operator.

     

Isometries and Toeplitz operators of Bergman space of bounded symmetric domains

In this paper we completely characterize the isometries of Bergman space (0?p<∞, p≠2) of bounded symmetric domains. We also prove that a pair of Toeplitz operators Tf and Tg on (0<p<∞, p≠2) is isometric equivalence if and only if there is a τ∈Aut(Ω), such that g=f○τ, where Aut(Ω) is the automorphism group of Ω.
