The Fock space $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ is the space of holomorphic functions on $\mathbb{C}^n$ that are square-integrable with respect to the Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{C}^n$. This space plays an important role in several subfields of analysis and representation theory. In particular, it has for a long time been a model to study Toeplitz operators. Esmeral and Maximenko showed in 2016 that radial Toeplitz operators on $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{C})$ generate a commutative $C^*$-algebra which is isometrically isomorphic to the $C^*$-algebra $C_{b,u}(\mathbb{N}_0,ρ_1)$. In this article, we extend the result to $k$-quasi-radial symbols acting on the Fock space $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{C}^n)$. We calculate the spectra of the said Toeplitz operators and show that the set of all eigenvalue functions is dense in the $C^*$-algebra $C_{b,u}(\mathbb{N}_0^k,ρ_k)$ of bounded functions on $\mathbb{N}_0^k$ which are uniformly continuous with respect to the square-root metric. In fact, the $C^*$-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with quasi-radial symbols is $C_{b,u}(\mathbb{N}_0^k,ρ_k)$.
We make a progress towards describing the semi-commutants of Toeplitz operators on Fock-Sobolev spaces of nonnegative orders. We generalize the results in \cite{Bauer1,Qin}. For the certain symbol spaces, we obtain two Toeplitz operators can semi-commute only in the trivial cases, which is different from what is known for the classical Fock spaces. As an application, we consider the conjecture which was shown to be false for Fock space in \cite{MA}. The main results of this paper say that there is the fundamental difference between the geometries of Fock and Fock-Sobolev space.
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 $0 < p < \infty$.
In this paper, we investigate the boundedness of Toeplitz product $T_{f}T_{g}$ and Hankel product $H_{f}^{*} H_{g}$ on Fock-Sobolev space for two polynomials $f$ and $g$ in $z,\overline{z}\in\mathbb{C}^{n}$. As a result, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator $T_{f}$ and Hankel operator $H_{f}$ with the polynomial symbol $f$ in $z,\overline{z}\in\mathbb{C}^{n}$ is characterized.
An estimate for the norm of selfadjoint Toeplitz operators with a radial, bounded and integrable symbol is obtained. This emphasizes the fact that the norm of such operator is strictly less than the supremum norm of the symbol. Consequences for time-frequency localization operators are also given.
Let $F^{2,m}(\mathbb{C})$ denote the Fock-Sobolev space of complex plane. In this paper, we characterize the semi-commutator of two Toeplitz operators on $F^{2,m}(\mathbb{C})$ is zero. The result is different from the result of Bauer, Choe, and Koo. (J. Funct. Anal., 268 (2015): 3017-3060.)
We give a characterization of compact and Fredholm operators on polyanalytic Fock spaces in terms of limit operators. As an application we obtain a generalization of the Bauer-Isralowitz theorem using a matrix valued Berezin type transform. We then apply this theorem to Toeplitz and Hankel operators to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for compactness. As it turns out, whether or not a Toeplitz or Hankel operator is compact does not depend on the polyanalytic order. For Hankel operators this even holds on the true polyanalytic Fock spaces.

In this paper we will give necessary and sufficient conditions for the operator $T_ν^s$ to be in the symmetrically normed ideal $\mathcal{C}_Φ$ for an arbitrary symmetric norming function $Φ$ where $T_ν$ is the Toeplitz operator on the generalized Fock Space (also known as the generalized Bargmann-Fock space) with a positive measure symbol $ν$ and $0<s\leq 1$.
Sarason Toeplitz product problem asks when the operator TuTv is bounded on various Hilbert spaces of analytic functions, where u and v are analytic. The problem is highly nontrivial for Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space and the Bergman space (even in the case of the unit disk). In this paper, we provide a complete solution to the problem for a class of Fock spaces on the complex plane. In particular, this generalizes an earlier result of Cho, Park, and Zhu.
Our purpose is to characterize the so-called horizontal Fock-Carleson type measures for derivatives of order $k$ (we write it $k$-hFC for short) for the Fock space as well as the Toeplitz operators generated by sesquilinear forms given by them. The boundedness conditions for such operators are found. We introduce real coderivatives of $k$-hFC type measures and show that the C*-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with the corresponding class of symbols is commutative and isometrically isomorphic to certain $C^*$-subalgebra of $L_{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$. The above results are extended to m…
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…
In sprite by Berger-Coburn theorems and their conjecture in \cite{Coburn1994}, we use the Fourier transform to decompose $ T_{g}$ as an infinite sum of Toeplitz operators with symbols which have compact support in the frequency domain. As a consequence, we obtain a sufficient condition for $ T_{g}$ to be bounded in terms of the Carleson measure conditions defined by the heat transform of the symbol $g$. Moreover the decomposition of a Toeplitz operator leads us to get easily understanding that for a bounded function $g$, if its Berezin transform vanishes at infinity, then the Toeplitz operator…
We make a progress towards describing the commutants of Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols on the Bergman space over the unit disk. Our work greatly generalizes several partial results in the field.
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 …
This work provides two results obtained as a consequence of an inversion formula for Toeplitz matrices with real symbol. First we obtain an asymptotic expression for the minimal eigenvalues of a Toeplitz matrix with a symbolwhich is periodic, even and derivable on $[0, 2π[$. Next we prove that a Toeplitz band matrix with a symbol without zeros on the united circle is invertible with an inverse which is essentially a band matrix. As a consequence of this last statement we give an asymptotic estimation for the entries of the inverse of a Toeplitz matrix with a regular symbol.
The Fock space consists of all entire functions which are square integrable with respect to Gauss measure. The Toeplitz algebra is the C*-algebra generated by the Toeplitz operator with bounded symbol on the Fock space. In this paper, we study the Toeplitz algebra on the Fock space.
In this note we describe centralizers of Toeplitz operators with polynomial symbols on the Bergman space. As a consequence it is shown that if an element of the norm closed algebra generated by all Toeplitz operators commutes with a Toeplitz operator of a noncon- stant polynomial, then this element is a Toeplitz operator of a bounded holomorphic function.
Following previous works for the unit ball, we define quasi-radial pseudo-homogeneous symbols on the projective space and obtain the corresponding commutativity results for Toeplitz operators. A geometric interpretation of these symbols in terms of moment maps is developed. This leads us to the introduction of a new family of symbols, extended pseudo-homogeneous, that provide larger commutative Banach algebras generated by Toeplitz operators. This family of symbols provides new commutative Banach algebras generated by Toeplitz operators on the unit ball.
We characterize the trace class membership of Toeplitz operators with distributional symbols acting on the Bergman space on the unit disk. The Berezin transform of distributions, introduced in the paper, yields a formula for the trace. Several instructive examples are also given.
Conditions are established under which Fredholmness, Coburn's property and one- or two-sided invertibility are shared by a Toeplitz operator with matrix symbol $G$ and the Toeplitz operator with scalar symbol $\det G$. These results are based on one-sided invertibility criteria for rectangular matrices over appropriate commutative rings and related scalar corona type problems.
We study the boundedness of Toeplitz operators on Segal-Bargmann spaces in various contexts. Using Gutzmer's formula as the main tool we identify symbols for which the Toeplitz operators correspond to Fourier multipliers on the underlying groups. The spaces considered include Fock spaces, Hermite and twisted Bergman spaces and Segal-Bargmann spaces associated to Riemannian symmetric spaces of compact type.
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.
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…
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…
In the setting of the Fock space over the complex plane, Bauer and Lee have recently characterized commutants of Toeplitz operators with radial symbols, under the assumption that symbols have at most polynomial growth at infinity. Their characterization states: If one of the symbols of two commuting Toeplitz operators is nonconstant and radial, then the other must be also radial. We extend this result to the Fock-Sobolev spaces.
In this paper, we characterize operator-theoretic properties (boundedness, compactness, and Schatten class membership) of Toeplitz operators with positive measure symbols on weighted Fock-Sobolev spaces of fractional order.
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 Fredholm property of Toeplitz operators on the $p$-Fock spaces $F_α^p$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$ is studied. A general Fredholm criterion for arbitrary operators from the Toeplitz algebra $\mathcal{T}_{p,α}$ on $F_α^p$ in terms of the invertibility of limit operators is derived. This paper is based on previous work, which establishes corresponding results on the unit balls $\mathbb{B}^n$.
In this paper we consider the C*-algebra $C^{*}(\{C_φ\}\cup\mathcal{T}(PQC(\mathbb{T})))/K(H^{2})$ generated by Toeplitz operators with piece-wise quasi-continuous symbols and a composition operator induced by a parabolic linear fractional non-automorphism symbol modulo compact operators on the Hilbert-Hardy space $H^{2}$. This C*-algebra is commutative. We characterize its maximal ideal space. We apply our results to the question of determining the essential spectra of linear combinations of a class of composition operators and Toeplitz operators.
We study two problems involving algebraic properties of Toeplitz operators on generalized Fock spaces on $\mathbb{C}^d$ with weights of the form $\left|z\right|^{2s} e^{-\left|z\right|^{2m}}$, $m\geq 1,\ s\geq 0$. We determine the commutant of a given Toeplitz operator with a radial symbol which satisfies certain growth conditions. We also discuss the equation $T_fT_g=0$, when $f$ or $g$ is radial.
In this paper a definition is given for an unbounded Toeplitz-like operator with rational symbol which has poles on the unit circle. It is shown that the operator is Fredholm if and only if the symbol has no zeroes on the unit circle, and a formula for the index is given as well. Finally, a matrix representation of the operator is discussed.
For any bounded measurable function $f$ on the unit ball $B_n$, let $T_f$ be the Toeplitz operator with symbol $f$ acting on the Bergman space $A^2(B_n)$. The Zero-Product Problem asks: if $f_1,..., f_N$ are bounded measurable functions such that $T_{f_1}... T_{f_N}=0$, does it follow that one of the functions must be zero almost everywhere? This paper give the affirmative answer to this question when all except possibly one of the symbols are radial functions. The answer in the general case remains unknown.
Let $f$ and $g$ be functions, not identically zero, in the Fock space $F^2$ of $C_n$. We show that the product $T_fT_{\bar g}$ of Toeplitz operators on $F^2$ is bounded if and only if $f(z)=e^{q(z)}$ and $g(z)=ce^{-q(z)}$, where $c$ is a nonzero constant and $q$ is a linear polynomial.
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 prove several results concerning the theory of Toeplitz algebras over $p$-Fock spaces using a correspondence theory of translation invariant symbol and operator spaces. The most notable results are: The full Toeplitz algebra is the norm closure of all Toeplitz operators with bounded uniformly continuous symbols. This generalizes a result obtained by J. Xia (J. Funct. Anal. 269:781-814, 2015) in the case $p = 2$, which was proven by different methods. Further, we prove that every Toeplitz algebra which has a translation invariant $C^\ast$ subalgebra of the bounded uniformly continuous functi…
Recently the authors characterized the Fredholmn properties of Toeplitz operators on weighted Fock spaces when the Laplacian of the weight function is bounded below and above. In the present work the authors extend their characterization to doubling Fock spaces with a subharmonic weight whose Laplacian is a doubling measure. The geometry induced by the Bergman metric for doubling Fock spaces is much more complicated than that of the Euclidean metric used in all the previous cases to study Fredholmness, which leads to considerably more involved calculations.
An asymptotic formula is found for a Toeplitz determinant with the symbol supported on an arc of the unit circle in the case when the symbol has Fisher-Hartwig singularities.
We consider Toeplitz operators in the Fock space, under rather general conditions imposed on the symbols. It is proved that if the operator has finite rank and the symbol is a function then the operator and the symbol should be zero. The method of proving is different from the one used previously for finite rank theorems, and it enables one to get rid of the compact support condition for symbols imposed previously.
In this paper, we study Toeplitz algebras generated by certain class of Toeplitz operators on the $p$-Fock space and the $p$-Bergman space with $1<p<\infty$. Let BUC($\mathbb C^n$) and BUC($\mathbb B_n$) denote the collections of bounded uniformly continuous functions on $\mathbb C^n$ and $\mathbb B_n$ (the unit ball in $\mathbb C^n$), respectively. On the $p$-Fock space, we show that the Toeplitz algebra which has a translation invariant closed subalgebra of BUC($\mathbb C^n$) as its set of symbols is linearly generated by Toeplitz operators with the same space of symbols. This answers a ques…
We study mapping properties of Toeplitz operators $T_μ$ associated to nonnegative Borel measure $μ$ on the complex space $\mathbb{C}^n$. We, in particular, describe the bounded and compact operators $T_μ$ acting between Fock spaces in terms of the objects $t$-Berezin transforms, averaging functions, and averaging sequences of their inducing measures $μ$. An asymptotic estimate for the norms of the operators has been also obtained. The results obtained extend a recent work of Z. Hu and X. Lv and fills the remaining gap when both the smallest and largest Banach--Fock spaces are taken into accoun…
In this paper we show that the C*-algebra generated by radial Toeplitz operators with $L_{\infty}$-symbols acting on the Fock space is isometrically isomorphic to the C*-algebra of bounded sequences uniformly continuous with respect to the square-root-metric $ρ(j,k)=|\sqrt{\vphantom{jk}j}-\sqrt{\vphantom{jk}k}\,|$. More precisely, we prove that the sequences of eigenvalues of radial Toeplitz operators form a dense subset of the latter C*-algebra of sequences.
This paper is a continuation of our study of a class of Toeplitz-like operators with a rational symbol which has a pole on the unit circle. A description of the spectrum and its various parts, i.e., point, residual and continuous spectrum, is given, as well as a description of the essential spectrum. In this case, the essential spectrum need not be connected in ${\mathbb C}$. Various examples illustrate the results.
