Compressions of Toeplitz operators to coinvariant subspaces of $H^2$ are called truncated Toeplitz operators. We study two questions related to these operators. The first, raised by Sarason, is whether boundedness of the operator implies the existence of a bounded symbol; the second is the reproducing kernel thesis. We show that in general the answer to the first question is negative, and we exhibit some classes of spaces for which the answers to both questions are positive.
The classical theory of Toeplitz operators in spaces of analytic functions deals usually with symbols that are bounded measurable functions on the domain in question. A further extension of the theory was made for symbols being unbounded functions, measures, and compactly supported distributions, all of them subject to some restrictions. In the context of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space we propose a certain framework for a `maximally possible' extension of the notion of Toeplitz operators for a `maximally wide' class of `highly singular' symbols. Using the language of sesquilinear forms we …
In this paper, using a generalization of a Richter and Sundberg representation theorem, we give a new characterization of Carleson measures for the Dirichlet-type space $\mathcal D(μ)$ when $μ$ is a finite sum of point masses. A reproducing kernel thesis result is also established in this case.
In this note, we describe the backward shift invariant subspaces for a large class of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. This class includes in particular de Branges-Rovnyak spaces (the non-extreme case) and the range space of co-analytic Toeplitz operators.
It is shown that the property of being bounded below (having closed range) of weighted composition operators on Hardy and Bergman spaces can be tested by their action on a set of simple test functions, including reproducing kernels. The methods used in the analysis are based on the theory of reverse Carleson embeddings.
Let $m \geq 1$ be an integer and let $H_m(\mathbb B)$ be the analytic functional Hilbert space on the unit ball $\mathbb B \subset \mathbb C^n$ given by the reproducing kernel $K_m(z,w) = (1 - \langle z,w \rangle)^{-m}$. We prove that Toeplitz operators with pluriharmonic symbol on $H_m(\mathbb B)$ can be characterized by an algebraic identity which extends the classical Brown-Halmos characterization of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the unit disc as well as corresponding results of Louhichi and Olofsson for Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbol on weighted Bergman spaces of the di…
We define and study Toeplitz operators in the space of Herglotz solutions of the Helmholtz equation in $R^d$. As the most traditional definition of Toeplitz operators via Bergman-type projection is not available here, we use an approach based upon the reproducing kernel nature of the Herglotz space and sesquilinear forms, which results in a meaningful theory. For two important patterns of sesquilinear forms we discuss a number of properties, including the uniqueness of determining the symbols from the operator, the finite rank property, the conditions for boundedness and compactness, spectral …
While the symbol map for the collection of bounded Toeplitz operators is well studied, there has been little work on a symbol map for densely defined Toeplitz operators. In this work a family of candidate symbols, the Sarason Sub-Symbols, is introduced as a means of reproducing the symbol of a densely defined Toeplitz operator. This leads to a partial answer to a question posed by Donald Sarason in 2008. In the bounded case the Toeplitzness of an operator can be classified in terms of its Sarason Sub-Symbols. This justifies the investigation into the application of the Sarason Sub-Symbols on d…
We present a unified approach to study properties of Toeplitz localization operators based on the Calderón and Gabor reproducing formula. We show that these operators with functional symbols on a plane domain may be viewed as certain pseudodifferential operators (with symbols on a line, or certain compound symbols).
We characterize the Schatten class Toeplitz operators induced by a positive Borel measure on the unit disc and the reproducing kernel of the Bergman space $A^2_ω$, where $ω$ is a radial weight satisfying the doubling property $\int_r^1ω(s)\,ds\le C\int_{\frac{1+r}{2}}^1ω(s)\,ds$. By using this, we describe the Schatten class composition operators. We also discuss basic properties of composition operators acting from $A^p_ω$ to $A^q_v$.
The symmetrized bidisc has been a rich field of holomorphic function theory and operator theory. A certain well-known reproducing kernel Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the symmetrized bidisc resembles the Hardy space of the unit disc in several aspects. This space is known as the Hardy space of the symmetrized bidisc. We introduce the study of those operators on the Hardy space of the symmetrized bidisc that are analogous to Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the unit disc. More explicitly, we first study multiplication operators on a bigger space (an $L^2$-space) and then stu…
We study the boundedness of Toeplitz-type operators defined in the context of the Calderón reproducing formula considering the specific wavelets whose Fourier transforms are related to Laguerre polynomials. Some sufficient conditions for simultaneous boundedness of these Calderón-Toeplitz operators on each wavelet subspace for unbounded symbols are given, where investigating the behavior of certain sequence of iterated integrals of symbols is helpful. A number of examples and counterexamples is given.
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 Bout…
Given a regular weight $ω$ and a positive Borel measure $μ$ on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$, the Toeplitz operator associated with $μ$ is $$ \mathcal{T}_μ(f)(z)=\int_{\mathbb{D}} f(ζ)\bar{B_z^ω(ζ)}\,dμ(ζ), $$ where $B^ω_{z}$ are the reproducing kernels of the weighted Bergman space $A^2_ω$. We describe bounded and compact Toeplitz operators $\mathcal{T}_μ:A^p_ω\to A^q_ω$, $1<q,p<\infty$, in terms of Carleson measures and the Berezin transform $$ \widetilde{\mathcal{T}_μ}(z)=\frac{\langle\mathcal{T}_μ(B^ω_{z}), B^ω_{z} \rangle_{A^2_ω}}{\|B_z^ω\|^2_{A^2_ω}}. $$ We also characterize Schatten class …
We present two alternative proofs of Mandrekar's theorem, which states that an invariant subspaces of the Hardy space on the bidisc is of Beurling type precisely when the shifts satisfy a doubly commuting condition. The first proof uses properties of Toeplitz operators to derive a formula for the reproducing kernel of certain shift invariant subspaces, which can then be used to characterize them. The second proof relies on the reproducing property in order to show that the reproducing kernel at the origin must generate the entire shift invariant subspace.
We obtain a noncommutative multivariable analogue of Louhichi and Olofsson characterization of Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols on the weighted Bergman space $A_m({\bf D})$, as well as Eschmeier and Langendorfer extension to the unit ball of ${\bf C}^n$. All our results are proved in the more general setting of noncommutative poly-hyperballs ${\bf D_n^m}(H)$, ${\bf n,m}\in {\bf N}^k$, and are used to characterize the bounded free $k$-pluriharmonic functions with operator coefficients on poly-hyperballs and to solve the associated Dirichlet extension problem. In particular, the results …
In this paper we investigate the reproducing kernel Hilbert space where the polylogarithm appears as kernel functions. This investigation begins with the properties of functions in this space, and here a connection to the classical Hardy space is shown through the Bose-Einstein integral equation. Next we consider function theoretic operators over the polylogarithmic Hardy space, such as multiplication and Toeplitz operators. It is determined that there are only trivial densely defined multiplication operators (and therefore only trivial bounded multipliers) over this space, which makes this sp…
We prove variants of Wiener's Tauberian theorem in the framework of quantum harmonic analysis, i.e. for convolutions between an absolutely integrable function and a trace class operator, or of two trace class operators. Our results include Wiener's Tauberian theorem as a special case. Applications of our Tauberian theorems are related to localization operators, Toeplitz operators, isomorphism theorems between Bargmann-Fock spaces and quantization schemes with consequences for Shubin's pseudodifferential operator calculus and Born-Jordan quantization. Based on the links between localization ope…
