Let $A_Φ$ be a matrix valued truncated Toeplitz operator-the compression of multiplication operator to vector-valued model space $H^2(E)\ominus ΘH^2(E)$, where $Θ$ is a matrix valued non constant inner function. Under supplementary assumptions, we find necessary and sufficient condition that the product $A_ΦA_Ψ$ is itself a matrix valued truncated Toeplitz operator.
A truncated Toeplitz operator is the compression of a classical Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space to a model space. A truncated Hankel operator is the compression of a Hankel operator on the Hardy space to the orthogonal complement of a model space. We study the product of a truncated Hankel operator and a truncated Toeplitz operator, and characterize when such a product is zero or compact.
In this paper, we completely characterize when two dual truncated Toeplitz operators are essentially commuting and when the semicommutator of two dual truncated Toeplitz operators is compact. Our main idea is to study dual truncated Toeplitz operators via Hankel operators, Toeplitz operators and function algebras.
Asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators are compressions of multiplication operators acting between two model spaces. These operators are natural generalizations of truncated Toeplitz operators. In this paper we describe symbols of asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators equal to the zero operator.
The characterization of normal truncated Toepltiz operators is first given by Chalendar and Timotin. We give an elementary proof of their result without using the algebraic properties of truncated Toeplitz operators.
In this paper we consider asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators acting between two finite-dimensional model spaces. We compute the dimension of the space of all such operators. We also describe the matrix representations of asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators acting between two finite-dimensional model spaces. Our results are generalizations of the results known for truncated Toeplitz operators.
This paper studies matrix-valued truncated Toeplitz operators, which are a vectorial generalisation of truncated Toeplitz operators. It is demonstrated that, although there exist matrix-valued truncated Toeplitz operators without a matrix symbol in $L^p$ for any $p \in (2, \infty ]$, there is a wide class of matrix-valued truncated Toeplitz operators which possess a matrix symbol in $L^p$ for some $p \in (2, \infty ]$. In the case when the matrix-valued truncated Toeplitz operator has a symbol in $L^p$ for some $p \in (2, \infty ]$, an approach is developed which bypasses some of the technical…
We show that truncated Toeplitz operators are characterized by a collection of complex symmetries. This was conjectured by Klis-Garlicka, Lanucha, and Ptak, and proved by them in some special cases.
For truncated Toeplitz operators, which are compressions of multiplication operators to model subspaces of the Hardy space $H^2$, we obtain criteria for commutation relations. The results show an analogy to the case of Toeplitz matrices, and they extend the theory of Sedlock algebras.
Matrix valued truncated Toeplitz operators act on vector-valued model spaces. They represent a generalization of block Toeplitz matrices. A characterization of these operators analogue to the scalar case is obtained, as well as the determination of the symbols that produce the zero operator.
Truncated Toeplitz operators in a model space are C--symmetric with respect to a natural conjugation in that space. We show that this and another conjugation associated to an orthogonal decomposition possess unique properties and we study their relations with asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators in terms of C--symmetry. New connections with Hankel operators are established through this approach.
Matrix valued asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operator are compression of multiplication operators acting between two model spaces. These are the generalization of matrix valued truncated Toeplitz operators. In this paper we use generalized Crofoot transform to characterize symbol of matrix valued asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operator equal to zero operator.
In this paper we investigate operators unitarily equivalent to truncated Toeplitz operators. We show that this class contains certain sums of tensor products of truncated Toeplitz operators. In particular, it contains arbitrary inflations of truncated Toeplitz operators; this answers a question posed by Cima, Garcia, Ross, and Wogen.
Truncated Toeplitz operators are compressions of Toeplitz operators on model spaces; they have received much attention in the last years. This survey article presents several recent results, which relate boundedness, compactness, and spectra of these operators to properties of their symbols. We also connect these facts with properties of the natural embedding measures associated to these operators.
In this paper we present some consequences of the description of matrix representations of asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators acting between finite-dimensional model spaces. In particular, we prove that these operators can be characterized using modified compressed shifts or the notion of shift invariance. We also describe rank-one asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators acting between finite-dimensional model spaces. This paper is a sequel to the paper of J. Jurasik and B. Łanucha "Asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators on finite-dimensional spaces".
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the product of two truncated Toeplitz operators on a model space to itself be a truncated Toeplitz operator, and as a result find a characterization for the maximal algebras of bounded truncated Toeplitz operators.
It was recently proved that in some special cases asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators can be characterized in terms of compressed shifts and rank-two operators of special form. In this paper we show that such characterizations hold in all cases.
Asymmetric dual truncated Toeplitz operators acting between the orthogonal complements of two (eventually different) model spaces are introduced and studied. They are shown to be equivalent after extension to paired operators on $L^2(\mathbb T) \oplus L^2(\mathbb T)$ and, if their symbols are invertible in $L^\infty(\mathbb T)$, to asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators with the inverse symbol. Relations with Carleson's corona theorem are also established. These results are used to study the Fredholmness, the invertibility and the spectra of various classes of dual truncated Toeplitz operator…
This paper characterises the dual of the model space $K_I^1$, where $I$ is an inner function, intersected with the shifted Hardy space, $z H^1$. With this duality result, it is then shown that every bounded truncated Toeplitz operator on the model space $K_I^2$ has a bounded symbol if and only if every compact truncated Toeplitz operator on $K_I^2$ has a symbol which is of the form $I$ multiplied by a continuous function.
The aim of this paper is to investigate asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators with $L^2$ symbols between two different model spaces given by inner functions such that one divides the other. Characterizations of these operators are given in terms of rank two operators. A description of the class of symbols for which the corresponding asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operator is equal to the zero operator is also given.
Truncated Toeplitz operators are compressions of multiplication operators on $L^2$ to model spaces (that is, subspaces of $H^2$ which are invariant with respect to the backward shift). For this class of operators we prove certain Szegö type theorems concerning the asymptotics of their compressions to an increasing chain of finite dimensional model spaces.
Truncated Toeplitz operators were introduced in a seminal paper by Sarason in 2007. We show that they have an intimate connection with the Agler-Young class.
Truncated Toeplitz operators are C--symmetric with respect to the canonical conjugation given on an appropriate model space. However, by considering only one conjugation one cannot characterize truncated Toeplitz operators. It will be proved, for some classes of inner functions and the model spaces connected with them, that if an operator on a model space is C--symmetric for a certain family of conjugations in the model space, then is has to be truncated Toeplitz. A characterization of classical Toeplitz operators is also presented in terms of conjugations.
We obtain an analogue of Coburn's description of the Toeplitz algebra in the setting of truncated Toeplitz operators. As a byproduct, we provide several examples of complex symmetric operators which are not unitarily equivalent to truncated Toeplitz operators having continuous symbols.
We prove several lower bounds for the norm of a truncated Toeplitz operator and obtain a curious relationship between the $H^2$ and $H^{\infty}$ norms of functions in model spaces.
We examine when two maximal abelian algebras in the truncated Toeplitz operators are spatially isomorphic. This builds upon recent work of N. Sedlock, who obtained a complete description of the maximal algebras of truncated Toeplitz operators.
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.
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.
A characterisation is given of bounded embeddings from weighted $L^2$ spaces on bounded intervals into $L^2$ spaces on the half-plane, induced by isomorphisms given by the Laplace transform onto weighted Hardy and Bergman spaces (Zen spaces). As an application necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the boundedness of truncated Hankel and Toeplitz integral operators, including the weighted case.
Truncated Toeplitz operators and their asymmetric versions are studied in the context of the Hardy space $H^p$ of the half-plane for $1<p<\infty$. It is shown that they are equivalent after extension to $2 \times 2$ matricial Toeplitz operators, which allows one to deduce information about their invertibility properties. Shifted model spaces are presented in the context of invariant subspaces, allowing one to deduce new Beurling--Lax theorems.
Unlike Toeplitz operators on $H^2$, truncated Toeplitz operators do not have a natural matricial characterization. Consequently, these operators are difficult to study numerically. In this note we provide criteria for a matrix with distinct eigenvalues to be unitarily equivalent to a truncated Toeplitz operator having an analytic symbol. This test is constructive and we illustrate it with several examples. As a byproduct, we also prove that every complex symmetric operator on a Hilbert space of dimension $\leq 3$ is unitarily equivalent to a direct sum of truncated Toeplitz operators.
This paper is a survey on the emerging theory of truncated Toeplitz operators. We begin with a brief introduction to the subject and then highlight the many recent developments in the field since Sarason's seminal paper in 2007.
A truncated Toeplitz operator is the compression $A_ϕ:\K_Θ \to \K_Θ$ of a Toeplitz operator $T_ϕ:H^2\to H^2$ to a model space $\K_Θ := H^2 \ominus ΘH^2$. For $Θ$ inner, let $\T_Θ$ denote the set of all bounded truncated Toeplitz operators on $\K_Θ$. Our main result is a necessary and sufficient condition on inner functions $Θ_1$ and $Θ_2$ which guarantees that $\mathcal{T}_{Θ_1}$ and $\mathcal{T}_{Θ_2}$ are spatially isomorphic (i.e., $U\T_{Θ_1} = \T_{Θ_2}U$ for some unitary $U:\K_{Θ_1} \to \K_{Θ_2}$). We also study operators which are unitarily equivalent to truncated Toeplitz operators and w…
We investigate truncated Toeplitz operators belonging to the Schatten ideals. We completely characterize such operators when they have an analytic symbol or belong to the ideal of Hilbert-Schmidt operators. We also study model spaces generated by Blaschke products associated with thin sequences, model spaces generated by certain types of singular inner functions, and operators associated with a class of very smooth symbols.
We consider three problems connected with coinvariant subspaces of the backward shift operator in Hardy spaces $H^p$: 1) properties of truncated Toeplitz operators; 2) Carleson-type embedding theorems for the coinvariant subspaces; 3) factorizations of pseudocontinuable functions from $H^1$. 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 Donald Sarason.
In this paper we first study the structure of the scalar and vector-valued nearly invariant subspaces with a finite defect. We then subsequently produce some fruitful applications of our new results. We produce a decomposition theorem for the vector-valued nearly invariant subspaces with a finite defect. More specifically, we show every vector-valued nearly invariant subspace with a finite defect can be written as the isometric image of a backwards shift invariant subspace. We also show that there is a link between the vector-valued nearly invariant subspaces and the scalar-valued nearly invar…
In this paper, we study matrix representations of truncated Toeplitz operators with respect to orthonormal bases which are invariant under a canonical conjugation map. In particular, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for when a 3-by-3 symmetric matrix is the matrix representation of a truncated Toeplitz operator with respect to a given conjugation invariant orthonormal basis. We specialise our result to the case when the conjugation invariant orthonormal basis is a modified Clark basis. As a corollary to this specialisation, we answer a previously stated open conjecture in the n…
This paper gives a new approach to the calculation of the numerical radius of a restricted shift operator by linking it to the norm of a truncated Toeplitz operator (TTO), which can be be calculated by various methods. Further results on the norm of a TTO are derived, and a conjecture on the existence of continuous symbols for compact TTO is resolved.
In the last decade, a large amount of research has been concentrated on the operators living on the model space. Asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators and asymmetric truncated Hankel operators are the natural generalization of truncated Toeplitz operators and truncated Hankel operators respectively. In this paper, we obtained the basic results concerning the product of these operators and in terms of product their connection with each other. In addition, when the inner function has a certain symmetric property, some algebraic properties of truncated Hankel operators are also discussed.
Recently, Liang and Partington \cite{YP} show that kernels of finite-rank perturbations of Toeplitz operators are nearly invariant with finite defect under the backward shift operator acting on the scalar-valued Hardy space. In this article we provide a vectorial generalization of a result of Liang and Partington. As an immediate application we identify the kernel of perturbed Toeplitz operator in terms of backward shift-invariant subspaces in various important cases by applying the recent theorem (\cite{CDP, OR}) in connection with nearly invariant subspaces of finite defect for the backward …
This paper deals with subnormality of Toeplitz operators with matrix-valued symbols and, in particular, with an appropriate reformulation of Halmos's Problem 5: Which subnormal Toeplitz operators with matrix-valued symbols are either normal or analytic? In 1976, M. Abrahamse showed that if $φ\in L^\infty$ is such that $φ$ or $\overlineφ$ is of bounded type and if $T_φ$ is subnormal, then $T_φ$ is either normal or analytic. In this paper we establish a matrix-valued version of Abrahamse's Theorem and then apply this result to solve the following Toeplitz completion problem: Find the unspecified…
We give a necessary and a sufficient condition for the boundedness of the Toeplitz product $T_FT_{G^*}$ on the vector valued Bergman space $L_a^2(\mathbb{C}^n)$, where $F$ and $G$ are matrix symbols with scalar valued Bergman space entries. The results generalize existing results in the scalar valued Bergman space case. We also characterize boundedness and invertibility of Toeplitz products $T_FT_{G^*}$ in terms of the Berezin transform, generalizing results found by Zheng and Stroethoff for the scalar valued Bergman space.
The property of being shift invariant and being reflexive or transitive in the case of the space of (asymmetric) truncated Toeplitz operators, and the space of (asymmetric) dual truncated operators is investigated. Most of the results obtained are new even for the symmetric case. A characterization of asymmetric dual truncated Toeplitz operators is also given.
