Toeplitz operators on connected domains"

The proof of the index formula of the Toeplitz operator with a continuous symbol on the Hardy space for the unit circle in the complex plane depends on the Hopf theorem. However, the analogue result of the Hopf theorem does not hold on a general connected domain. Hence, the extension of the index formula of the Toeplitz operator on a general domain needs a method which is different from that for the case of the unit circle. In the present paper, the index formula of the Toeplitz operator with a continuous symbol on the finite complex connected domain in the complex plane is obtained, and the cohomology groups of Toeplitz algebras on general domains are discussed. In addition, the Toeplitz operators with symbols in QC are also discussed.     

Toeplitz operators and weighted Bergman kernels

For a smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain, we describe the boundary singularity of weighted Bergman kernels with respect to weights behaving like a power (possibly fractional) of a defining function, and, more generally, of the reproducing kernels of Sobolev spaces of holomorphic functions of any real order. This generalizes the classical result of Fefferman for the unweighted Bergman kernel. Finally, we also exhibit a holomorphic continuation of the kernels with respect to the Sobolev parameter to the entire complex plane. Our main tool are the generalized Toeplitz operators of Boutet de Monvel and Guillemin.     

Hyponormality of Toeplitz operators with generalized circulant symbols

In this paper we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for Toeplitz operators with generalized circulant symbols to be hyponormal.     

Compact Toeplitz operators on the Segal-Bargmann space

In this note, we show that Miao and Zheng's characterization of compact operators on the Bergman space of the unit disk that are finite sums of finite products of Toeplitz operators (with each one of the symbols belonging to BT) also holds for the Segal-Bargmann space of Cn.     

Toeplitz and composition operators on H2 (B n)

Toeplitz operators with unbounded symbols of several complex variables

In this note we construct a function φ in L²(Bn,dA) which is unbounded on any neighborhood of each boundary point of Bn such that Tφ is a trace class operator on Bergman space for several complex variables. In addition, we also discuss the compactness of Toeplitz operators with L¹ symbols.     

Hyponormal Toeplitz operators on the polydisk

By bounded vector-valued functions and block matrix representations of Hankel operators, we completely characterize the hyponormality of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the polydisk.     

Unitary equivalence of one-parameter groups of Toeplitz and composition operators

The composition operators on H² whose symbols are hyperbolic automorphisms of the unit disk fixing ±1 comprise a one-parameter group and the analytic Toeplitz operators coming from covering maps of annuli centered at the origin whose radii are reciprocals also form a one-parameter group. Using the eigenvectors of the composition operators and of the adjoints of the Toeplitz operators, a direct unitary equivalence is found between the restrictions to zH² of the group of Toeplitz operators and the group of adjoints of these composition operators. On the other hand, it is shown that there is not a unitary equivalence of the groups of Toeplitz operators and the adjoints of the composition operators on the whole of H², but there is a similarity between them.     

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.

Trace class Toeplitz operators with unbounded symbols on weighted Bergman spaces

In this note we construct a function φ in L2（Bn,dμ） which is unbounded on any neighborhood of each boundary point of Bn such that Tφ is a trace class operator on weighted Bergman space Lα2（Bn,dμ） for several complex variables.     

Fredholmness of Toeplitz operators and corona problems

A meromorphic analogue to the corona problem is formulated and studied and its solutions are characterized as being left-invertible in a space of meromorphic functions. The Fredholmness of Toeplitz operators with symbol G∈(L_∞(R))^2×2 is shown to be equivalent to that of a Toeplitz operator with scalar symbol , provided that the Riemann-Hilbert problem admits a solution such that the meromorphic corona problems with data are solvable. The Fredholm properties are characterized in terms of and the corresponding meromorphic left-inverses. Partial index estimates for the symbols and Fredholmness criteria are established for several classes of Toeplitz operators.     

Algebraic properties of Toeplitz operators on the Dirichlet space

We study some algebraic properties of Toeplitz operators on the Dirichlet space. We first characterize (semi-)commuting Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols. Next we study the product problem of when product of two Toeplitz operators is another Toeplitz operator. As an application, we show that the zero product of two Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbol has only a trivial solution. Also, the corresponding compact product problem is studied.     

Schatten class Toeplitz operators on generalized Fock spaces

In this paper we characterize the Schatten p   class membership of Toeplitz operators with positive measure symbols acting on generalized Fock spaces for the full range 0<p<∞$0<p<\infty$.     

Commuting dual Toeplitz operators with pluriharmonic symbols

In this paper we completely characterize commuting dual Toeplitz operators with bounded pluriharmonic symbols on the Bergman space of the unit ball. We show that for φ and ψ pluriharmonic, SφSψ=Sψφ on only in the trivial case. Here the trivial case is φ or holomorphic.     

Error bounds for approximations of traces of products of truncated Toeplitz operators

The paper establishes error orders for integral limit approximations to the traces of products of truncated Toeplitz operators generated by integrable real symmetric functions defined on the real line. These approximations and the corresponding error bounds are of importance in the statistical analysis of continuous-time stationary processes (asymptotic distributions and large deviations of Toeplitz type quadratic functionals, estimation of the spectrum, etc.). The results improve the rates obtained by the authors (in an earlier paper). An explicit second-order asymptotic expansion is found for the trace of a product of two truncated Toeplitz operators generated by the spectral densities of continuous-time stationary fractional Riesz-Bessel motions. The order of magnitude of the second term in this expansion is shown to depend on the long-memory parameters of the processes. The second-order term provides a substantially better approximation to the original functional, as compared with the first-order approximation. M.

Commuting Toeplitz operators on the Dirichlet space

In this paper, we study the commutativity of Toeplitz operators with continuous symbols on the Dirichlet space. First, under a mild condition concerning absolute continuity we characterize (semi-)commuting Toeplitz operators. This is a generalization of the case of harmonic symbols. Also, if one of the symbol is radial or analytic, we get another characterization, which is different from the case on the Bergman space.     

Self-adjointness of Toeplitz operators on the Segal-Bargmann space

We prove a new criterion that guarantees self-adjointness of Toeplitz operators with unbounded operator-valued symbols. Our criterion applies, in particular, to symbols with Lipschitz continuous derivatives, which is the natural class of Hamiltonian functions for classical mechanics. For this we extend the Berger-Coburn estimate to the case of vector-valued Segal-Bargmann spaces. Finally, we apply our result to prove self-adjointness for a class of (operator-valued) quadratic forms on the space of Schwartz functions in the Schrödinger representation.     

Toeplitz operators with BMO symbols of several complex variables

In this note we prove that the boundedness and compactness of the Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space L_a² (\mathbbB_n )L_a^2 (\mathbb{B}_n ) for several complex variables with a BMO¹ symbol is completely determined by the boundary behavior of its Berezin transform.
