Cowen's class and Thomson's class

In studying commutants of analytic Toeplitz operators, Thomson proved a remarkable theorem which states that under a mild condition, the commutant of an analytic Toeplitz operator is equal to that of Toeplitz operator defined by a finite Blaschke product. Cowen gave an significant improvement of Thosom's result. In this paper, we will present examples in Cowen's class which does not lie in Thomson's class.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figure

Product of truncated Hankel and truncated Toeplitz operators

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

Asymptotic equivariant index of Toeplitz operators and relative index of CR structures

Using equivariant Toeplitz operator calculus, we give a new proof of the Atiyah-Weinstein conjecture on the index of Fourier integral operators and the relative index of CR structures.Comment: 23 page

Compact Product of Hankel and Toeplitz Operators

In this paper, we study the product of a Hankel operator and a Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space. We give necessary and sufficient conditions of when such a product $H_f T_g$ is compact

The restriction operator on Bergman spaces

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, we prove a sharp estimate of the norm of the restriction operator in case the domain and the subdomain are balls. We also study various operator theoretic properties of the restriction operator such as compactness and essential norm estimates.Comment: Reference to previous work on restriction operators is adde

Matrix-valued truncated Toeplitz operators: unbounded symbols, kernels and equivalence after extension

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 difficulties which arise when dealing with problems concerning matrix-valued truncated Toeplitz operators with unbounded symbols. Using this new approach, two new notable results are obtained. The kernel of the matrix-valued truncated Toeplitz operator is expressed as an isometric image of an $S^*$-invariant subspace. Also, a Toeplitz operator is constructed which is equivalent after extension to the matrix-valued truncated Toeplitz operator

Time-Limited Toeplitz Operators on Abelian Groups: Applications in Information Theory and Subspace Approximation

Toeplitz operators are fundamental and ubiquitous in signal processing and information theory as models for linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems. Due to the fact that any practical system can access only signals of finite duration, time-limited restrictions of Toeplitz operators are naturally of interest. To provide a unifying treatment of such systems working on different signal domains, we consider time-limited Toeplitz operators on locally compact abelian groups with the aid of the Fourier transform on these groups. In particular, we survey existing results concerning the relationship between the spectrum of a time-limited Toeplitz operator and the spectrum of the corresponding non-time-limited Toeplitz operator. We also develop new results specifically concerning the eigenvalues of time-frequency limiting operators on locally compact abelian groups. Applications of our unifying treatment are discussed in relation to channel capacity and in relation to representation and approximation of signals

Toeplitz operators on doubling Fock spaces

We study Toeplitz operator theory on the doubling Fock spaces, which are Fock spaces whose exponential weight is associated to a subharmonic function with doubling Riesz measure. Namely, we characterize the boundedness, compactness and membership in the Schatten class of Toeplitz operators on doubling Fock spaces whose symbol is a positive Radon measure

Slant H-Toeplitz Operators on the Hardy space

The notion of slant H-Toeplitz operator $V_\phi$ on the Hardy space $H^2$ is introduced and its characterizations are obtained. We have shown that an operator on the space $H^2$ is slant H-Toeplitz if and only if its matrix is a slant H-Toeplitz matrix. In addition the conditions under which slant Toeplitz and slant Hankel operators become slant H-Toeplitz operators are also obtained

The Sarason Sub-Symbol and the Recovery of the Symbol of Densely Defined Toeplitz Operators over the Hardy Space

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 densely defined operators. It is shown that analytic closed densely defined Toeplitz operators are completely determined by their Sarason Sub-Symbols, and it is shown for a broader class of operators that they extend closed densely defined Toeplitz operators (of multiplication type).Comment: 14 page
