Factorization of Toeplitz operators

In this article, by considering $T=(T_1,\dots, T_d)$, an $d$-tuple of commuting contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we study $T$-Toeplitz operators which consists of bounded operators $X$ on $\mathcal{H}$ such that $$T_i^*XT_i=X$$ for all $i=1,\dots,d$. We show that any positive $T$-Toeplitz operator can be factorized in terms of an isometric pseudo-extension of $T$. A similar factorization result is also obtained for positive pure lower $T$-Toeplitz operators. However, the latter factorization is obtained in terms of a special type of isometric pseudo-extension of $T$, and a certain difference has been observed between the case $d=2$ and $d>2$. In a more general context, by considering $d$-tuples of commuting contractions $S$ and $T$, we also study $(S, T)$-Toeplitz operators.
