Abstract

Let Dn×nI\mathrm{D}^\mathrm{I}_{n \times n} be the Cartan domain of type I which consists of the complex n×nn \times n matrices ZZ that satisfy ZZ<InZ^*Z < I_n. For a symbol aL(Dn×nI)a \in L^\infty(\mathrm{D}^\mathrm{I}_{n \times n}) we consider three radial-like type conditions: 1) left (right) U(n)\mathrm{U}(n)-invariant symbols, which can be defined by the condition a(Z)=a((ZZ)12)a(Z) = a\big((Z^*Z)^\frac{1}{2}\big) (a(Z)=a((ZZ)12)a(Z) = a\big((ZZ^*)^\frac{1}{2}\big), respectively), and 2) U(n)×U(n)\mathrm{U}(n) \times \mathrm{U}(n)-invariant symbols, which are defined by the condition a(A1ZB)=a(Z)a(A^{-1}ZB) = a(Z) for every A,BU(n)A, B \in \mathrm{U}(n). We prove that, for n2n \geq 2, these yield different sets of symbols. If aa satisfies 1), either left or right, and bb satisfies 2), then we prove that the corresponding Toeplitz operators TaT_a and TbT_b commute on every weighted Bergman space. Furthermore, among those satisfying condition 1), either left or right, there exist, for n2n \geq 2, symbols aa whose corresponding Toeplitz operators TaT_a are non-normal. We use these facts to prove the existence, for n2n \geq 2, of commutative Banach non-CC^* algebras generated by Toeplitz operators.
