We prove a sharp stability estimate for Schur iterates of contractive analytic functions in the open unit disk. We then apply this result in the setting of the inverse scattering approach and obtain a fast algorithm for solving the discrete…

We give a simple proof of a classical theorem by A.M\'at\'e, P.Nevai, and V.Totik on asymptotic behavior of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. It is based on a new real-variable approach involving an entropy estimate for the…

We prove that every positive bounded invertible Wiener-Hopf operator admits triangular factorization. This answers the question posed by L.Sakhnovich in 1994.

We prove existence of modified wave operators for one-dimensional Dirac operators whose spectral measures belong to the Szego class on the real line.

We characterize even measures $\mu=wdx+\mu_s$ on the real line with finite entropy integral $\int_{R} \frac{\log w(t)}{1+t^2}dt>-\infty$ in terms of $2\times 2$ Hamiltonian generated by $\mu$ in the sense of inverse spectral theory. As a…

A measure $\mu$ on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ belongs to Steklov class $\mathcal{S}$ if its density $w$ with respect to the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{T}$ is strictly positive: $\inf_{\mathbb{T}} w > 0$. Let $\mu$, $\mu_{-1}$ be…

We collect several old and new descriptions of Schatten class Toeplitz operators on the Paley-Wiener space and answer a question on discrete Hilbert transform commutators posed by Richard Rochberg.

Let $\mu$ be an even measure on the real line $\mathbb{R}$ such that $$c_1 \int_{\mathbb{R}}|f|^2\,dx \le \int_{\mathbb{R}}|f|^2\,d\mu \le c_2\int_{\mathbb{R}}|f|^2\,dx$$ for all functions $f$ in the Paley-Wiener space $\mathrm{PW}_{a}$. We…

We prove the spectral mapping theorem $\sigma_e(A_\phi) = \phi(\sigma_e(A_z))$ for the Fredholm spectrum of a truncated Toeplitz operator $A_\phi$ with symbol $\phi$ in the Sarason algebra $C+H^\infty$ acting on a coinvariant subspace…

Let $\theta$ be an inner function satisfying the connected level set condition of B. Cohn, and let $K^{1}_{\theta}$ be the shift-coinvariant subspace of the Hardy space $H^1$ generated by $\theta$. We describe the dual space to…

Let $\mu$ be a measure on the real line $\mathbb{R}$ such that $\int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{d\mu(t)}{1+t^2} < \infty$ and let $a>0$. Assume that the norms $\|f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R})}$ and $\|f\|_{L^2(\mu)}$ are comparable for functions $f$ in the…

We generalize a classical result by A.Macintyre and W.Rogosinski on best $H^p$--approximation in $L^p$ of rational functions. For each inner function $\theta$ we give a description of $H^p$--badly approximable functions in $\bar \theta…

We give a complete description of the finite-rank truncated Toeplitz operators.

We consider averaged wave operators constructed for singular unitary operators $U_1$, $U_2$ and a bounded identification operator $A$. In the case of rank-two commutator $AU_1 - U_2A$, we show that averaged wave operators of past and future…
