A major open question in the theory of Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space of the unit disk of the complex plane is the complete characterization of the set of all Toeplitz operators that commute with a given operator. In \cite{al}, the…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a weighted composition operator to be co-isometric on a general weighted Hardy space of analytic functions in the unit disk whose reproducing kernel has the usual natural form. This turns…

A compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\C$ is a set of polynomial (respectively rational) approximation if $P(K)=A(K)$ (respectively $R(K)=A(K)$), where $P(K)$ (respectively $R(K)$) is the family of functions on $K$ which are uniform…

H-holomorphic maps are a parameter version of J-holomorphic maps into contact manifolds. They have arisen in efforts to prove the existence of higher--genus holomorphic open book decompositions and efforts to prove the existence of finite…

Given a finite set \sigma of the unit disc \mathbb{D}={z\in\mathbb{C}:, |z|<1} and a holomorphic function f in \mathbb{D} which belongs to a class X, we are looking for a function g in another class Y (smaller than X) which minimizes the…

Let $M$ be a compact symplectic manifold on which a compact torus $T$ acts Hamiltonialy with a moment map $\mu$. Suppose there exists a symplectic involution $\theta:M\to M$, such that $\mu\circ\theta=-\mu$. Assuming that 0 is a regular…

We study the compactness of composition operators on the Bergman spaces of certain bounded convex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with non-trivial analytic discs contained in the boundary. As a consequence we characterize that compactness of the…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic function on the strip $\{z\in C: -\alpha<Im z<\alpha\}, \alpha > 0$, belonging to the class $H(\alpha,-\alpha;\epsilon)$ defined below. It is shown that there exist holomorphic functions $w_1$ on $\{z\in C: 0<Im z…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

Let $T\colon X\to X$ be a bounded operator on Banach space, whose spectrum $\sigma(T)$ is included in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb D}$. Assume that the peripheral spectrum $\sigma(T)\cap{\mathbb T}$ is finite and that $T$…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is…

Let $1<q<p<\infty$, $\frac1r:=\frac1q-\frac1p$, and $T$ be a non-degenerate Calder\'on--Zygmund operator. We show that the commutator $[b,T]$ is compact from $L^p({\mathbb R}^n)$ to $L^q({\mathbb R}^n)$ if and only if the symbol $b=a+c$…

We define a second-order differential operator $\hat{C}$ on the Hilbert space $L^2([-v_c, v_c])$, constructed from a smooth deformation function $C(v)$. The operator is considered on the Sobolev domain $H^2([-v_c, v_c]) \cap H^1_0([-v_c,…

Let $C_\varphi$ be a composition operator acting on the Hardy space of the unit disc $H^p$ ($1\leq p < \infty$), which is embedded in a $C_0$-semigroup of composition operators $\mathcal{T}=(C_{\varphi_t})_{t\geq 0}.$ We investigate whether…

A subalgebra $A$ of the algebra $B(\mathcal{H})$ of bounded linear operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be catalytic if every transitive subalgebra $\mathcal{T}\subset B(\mathcal{H})$ containing it is strongly…

We prove that if f is a holomorphic function on the open unit disc in C whose cluster set C(f) has finite linear measure and is such that the complement of C(f) has finitely many components, then the derivative of f belongs to the Hardy…

A major open question in the theory of Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space of the unit disk of the complex plane is to fully characterize the set of all Toeplitz operators that commute with a given one. In [2], the second author…

Motivated by the canonical decomposition of contractions on Hilbert spaces, we investigate when contractive Toeplitz operators on vector-valued Hardy spaces on the unit disc admit a non-zero reducing subspace on which its restriction is…

We prove that the image of an elliptic operator on a smooth separable Hilbert fibre bundle on compact manifolds is closed with respect to the natural pre-Hilbert topology. We consider a tensor product of the operator, which is invariant…
