Toeplitz algebras on the disk

Let B be a Douglas algebra and let B be the algebra on the disk generated by the harmonic extensions of the functions in B. In this paper we show that B is generated by H^∞(D) and the complex conjugates of the harmonic extensions of the interpolating Blaschke products invertible in B. Every element S in the Toeplitz algebra TB generated by Toeplitz operators (on the Bergman space) with symbols in B has a canonical decomposition for some R in the commutator ideal CTB; and S is in CTB iff the Berezin transform vanishes identically on the union of the maximal ideal space of the Douglas algebra B and the set M₁ of trivial Gleason parts.     

Compact operators and Toeplitz algebras on multiply-connected domains

If Ω is a smoothly bounded multiply-connected domain in the complex plane and S belongs to the Toeplitz algebra τ of the Bergman space of Ω, we show that S is compact if and only if its Berezin transform vanishes at the boundary of Ω. We also show that every element S in T, the C^?-subalgebra of τ generated by Toeplitz operators with symbols in H^∞(Ω), has a canonical decomposition for some R in the commutator ideal CT; and S is in CT iff the Berezin transform vanishes identically on the set M₁ of trivial Gleason parts.     

Berezin transform and Toeplitz operators on harmonic Bergman spaces

For an operator which is a finite sum of products of finitely many Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space over the half-space, we study the problem: Does the boundary vanishing property of the Berezin transform imply compactness? This is motivated by the Axler-Zheng theorem for analytic Bergman spaces, but the answer would not be yes in general, because the Berezin transform annihilates the commutator of any pair of Toeplitz operators. Nevertheless we show that the answer is yes for certain subclasses of operators. In order to do so, we first find a sufficient condition on general operators and use it to reduce the problem to whether the Berezin transform is one-to-one on related subclasses.     

Commuting Toeplitz operators on the Segal-Bargmann space

Consider two Toeplitz operators Tg, Tf on the Segal-Bargmann space over the complex plane. Let us assume that g is a radial function and both operators commute. Under certain growth condition at infinity of f and g we show that f must be radial, as well. We give a counterexample of this fact in case of bounded Toeplitz operators but a fast growing radial symbol g. In this case the vanishing commutator [Tg,Tf]=0 does not imply the radial dependence of f. Finally, we consider Toeplitz operators on the Segal-Bargmann space over Cn and n>1, where the commuting property of Toeplitz operators can be realized more easily.     

Derivations on the algebra of measurable operators affiliated with a type I von Neumann algebra

Let M be a type I von Neumann algebra with the center Z and let LS(M) be the algebra of all locally measurable operators affiliated with M. We prove that every Z-linear derivation on LS(M) is inner. In particular, all Z-linear derivations on the algebras of measurable and respectively totally measurable operators are spatial and implemented by elements of LS(M). The text was submitted by the authors in English.

On triangular algebras with noncommutative diagonals

We construct a triangular algebra whose diagonals form a noncommutative algebra and its lattice of invariant projections contains only two nontrivial projections. Moreover we prove that our triangular algebra is maximal.     

Von Neumann Algebras and Hilbert Quantales

When A is a von Neumann algebra, the set of all weakly closed linear subspaces forms a Gelfand quantale, Max_w A. We prove that Max_w A is a von Neumann quantale for all von Neumann algebras A. The natural morphism from Max_w A to the Hilbert quantale on the lattice of weakly closed right ideals of A is, in general, not an isomorphism. However, when A is a von Neumann factor, its restriction to right-sided elements is an isomorphism and this leads to a new characterization of von Neumann factors.     

A weak* similarity degree characterization for injective von Neumann algebras

In this note, we show that a von Neumann algebra M is injective if and only if the weak*similarity degree d*(M) ≤ 2.     

On a property ofL p spaces on semifinite von Neumann algebras

A characterization of the traces in a broad class of weights on von Neumann algebras is obtained. A new property of the domain ideals of these traces is proved. In the semifinite case, a relation for a faithful normal trace is established. This result is new even for the algebra of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space. Applications of the main result to the structure theory of von Neumann algebras and to the Köthe duality theory for ideal spaces of Segal measurable operators are given.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 64, No. 2, pp. 185–190, August, 1998.The author wishes to express his deep gratitude to Professor A. N. Sherstnev for setting the problem and for fruitful discussions.This research was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under grant No. 95-01-00025.

In this paper we prove that the boundedness and compactness of Toeplitz operator with a BMO _α ¹ symbol on the weighted Bergman space A _α ²(B _n ) of the unit ball is completely determined by the behavior of its Berezin transform, where α > −1 and n ≥ 1.

Higher order asymptotics of Toeplitz determinants with symbols in weighted Wiener algebras

We extend a result of Böttcher and Silbermann on higher order asymptotics of determinants of block Toeplitz matrices with symbols in Wiener algebras with power weights to the case of Wiener algebras with general weights satisfying natural submultiplicativity, monotonicity, and regularity conditions.     

Characterizing the Hilbert transform by the Bedrosian theorem

It is proved that a bounded linear translation invariant operator on L²(Rd) satisfies the Bedrosian theorem if and only if it is a linear combination of the compositions of the partial Hilbert transforms and the identity operator. This observation justifies a definition of multidimensional analytic signals in the papers [T. Bulow, G. Sommer, Hypercomplex signals—a novel extension of the analytic signal to the multidimensional case, IEEE Trans. Signal Process. 49 (2001) 2844-2852] and [S.L. Hahn, Multidimensional complex signals with single-orthant spectra, Proc. IEEE 80 (1992) 1287-1300].

Schatten classes for Toeplitz operators with Hilbert space windows on modulation spaces

We prove that if ω, ω₁, ω₂, v₁, v₂ are appropriate, , j=1,2, and ωa∈Lp, then the Toeplitz operator Tph₁,h₂(a) from to belongs to the Schatten-von Neumann class of order p. From this property we prove convolution properties between weighted Lebesgue spaces and Schatten-von Neumann classes of symbols in pseudo-differential calculus.
