We introduce and give a more or less complete study of a family of branching-Toeplitz operators on the Hilbert space $\ell^2(T_q)$ indexed by a rooted homogeneous tree $T_q$ of degree $q\ge 2$. The finite dimensional analogues of such operators form a very natural family of structured sparse matrices called branching-Toeplitz matrices and will also be investigated. The branching-Toeplitz operators/matrices in this paper should be viewed as natural generalizations of the standard Toeplitz operators/matrices. We will apply our results to construct a family of determinantal point processes on homogeneous trees which are branching-type strong stationary stochastic processes.
We use a theorem by Gonzalez, Leon-Saavedra and Montes-Rodriguez to construct a class of coanalytic Toeplitz operators which have an infinite-dimensional closed subspace, where any non-zero vector is hypercyclic.
The paper is concerned with a sequence of constants which appear in several problems. These problems include the minimal eigenvalue of certain positive definite Toeplitz matrices, the minimal eigenvalue of some higher-order ordinary differential operators, the norm of the Green kernels of these operators, the best constant in a Wirtinger-Sobolev inequality, and the conditioning of a special least squares problem. The main result of the paper gives the asymptotics of this sequence.
We study the compactness and the hypercyclicity of Toeplitz operators in the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces H(b) with co-analytic and bounded symbols on D. We highlight the fundamental role played by the function b generating the de Branges-Rovnyak space H(b). The characterization of compactness depends wether b is inner function or not and the characterization of hypercyclicity depends wether the function log(1-|b|) is integrable or not.
In this note we discuss an open problem whether a truncated Toeplitz operator on a model space can be hypercyclic. We compute point spectrum and eigenfunctions for a class of truncated Toeplitz operators with polynomial analytic and antianalytic parts. We show that, for a class of model spaces, truncated Toeplitz operators with symbols of the form $Φ(z) =a \bar{z} +b + cz$, $|a| \ne |c|$, have complete sets of eigenvectors, and, in particular, are not hypercyclic.
We study hypercyclicity of Toeplitz operators in the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ with symbols of the form $R(\overline{z}) +ϕ(z)$, where $R$ is a rational function and $ϕ\in H^\infty(\mathbb{D})$. We relate this problem to cyclicity of certain families of functions for analytic Toeplitz operators and give new sufficient conditions for hypercyclicity based on deep results of B. Solomyak.
Toeplitz operators (also called localization operators) are a generalization of the well-known anti-Wick pseudodifferential operators studied by Berezin and Shubin. When a Toeplitz operator is positive semi-definite and has trace one we call it a density Toeplitz operator. Such operators represent physical states in quantum mechanics. In the present paper we study several aspects of Toeplitz operators when their symbols belong to some well-known functional spaces (e.g. the Feichtinger algebra) and discuss (tentatively) their separability properties with an emphasis on the Gaussian case.
We study hypercyclicity of the Toeplitz operators in the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ with symbols of the form $p(\bar{z}) +ϕ(z)$, where $p$ is a polynomial and $ϕ\in H^\infty(\mathbb{D})$. We find both necessary and sufficient conditions for hypercyclicity which almost coincide in the case when ${\rm deg}\, p =1$.
We define a new notion of entropy for operators on Fock spaces and positive definite multi-Toeplitz kernels on free semigroups. This is studied in connection with factorization theorems for (multi-Toeplitz, multi-analytic, etc.) operators on Fock spaces. These results lead to entropy inequalities and entropy formulas for positive definite multi-Toeplitz kernels on free semigroups (resp.multi-Toeplitz operators) and consequences concerning the extreme points of the unit ball of the noncommutative analytic Toeplitz algebra F_n^\infty. We obtain several geometric characterizations of the multivar…
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 …
We study Toeplitz operators on Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions on symmetric domains, and more generally on certain algebraic subvarieties, determined by integration over boundary orbits of the underlying domain. The main result classifies the irreducible representations of the Toeplitz $C^*$-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with continuous symbol. This relies on the limit behavior of "hypergeometric" measures under certain peaking functions.
We prove a new criterion of weak hypercyclicity of a bounded linear operator on a Banach space. Applying this criterion, we solve few open questions. Namely, we show that if $G$ is a region of $\C$ bounded by a smooth Jordan curve $Γ$ such that $G$ does not meet the unit ball but $Γ$ intersects the unit circle in a non-trivial arc, then $M^*$ is a weakly hypercyclic operator on $H^2(G)$, where $M$ is the multiplication by the argument operator $Mf(z)=zf(z)$. We also prove that if $g$ is a non-constant function from the Hardy space $H^\infty(\D)$ on the unit disk $\D$ such that $g(\D)\cap\D=\va…
We propose a definition of branching-type stationary stochastic processes on rooted trees and related definitions of hyper-positivity for functions on the unit circle and functions on the set of non-negative integers. We then obtain (1) a necessary and sufficient condition on a rooted tree for the existence of non-trivial branching-type stationary stochastic processes on it, (2) a complete criterion of the hyper-positive functions in the setting of rooted homogeneous trees in terms of a variant of the classical Herglotz-Bochner Theorem, (3) a prediction theory result for branching-type station…
The definition of Toeplitz operators in the Bergman space $A^2(D)$ of square integrable analytic functions in the unit disk in the complex plane is extended in such way that it covers many cases where the traditional definition does not work. This includes, in particular, highly singular symbols such as measures, distributions, and certain hyper-functions.
The following theorem on the circle group $\mathbb{T}$ is due to Norbert Wiener: If $f\in L^{1}\left( \mathbb{T}\right) $ has non-negative Fourier coefficients and is square integrable on a neighbourhood of the identity, then $f\in L^{2}\left( \mathbb{T}\right) $. This result has been extended to even exponents including $p=\infty$, but shown to fail for all other $p\in\left( 1,\infty\right] .$ All of this was extended further (appropriately formulated) well beyond locally compact abelian groups. In this paper we prove Wiener's theorem for even exponents for a large class of commutative hyperg…
We study the restriction operator from the Bergman space of a domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to the Bergman space of a non-empty open subset of the domain. We relate the restriction operator to the Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space of the domain whose symbol is the characteristic function of the subset. Using the biholomorphic invariance of the spectrum of the associated Toeplitz operator, we study the restriction operator from the Bergman space of the unit disc to the Bergman space of subdomains with large symmetry groups, such as horodiscs and subdomains bounded by hypercycles. Furthermore, w…
