We discuss the following extremal problem and its relevance to the sum of the so-called superoptimal singular values of a matrix function: Given an $m\times n$ matrix function $\Phi$ on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$, when is there a matrix…

For an $n\times n$ bounded matrix function $\Phi$ we study unitary interpolants $U$, i.e., unitary-valued functions $U$ such that $\hat U(j)=\hat\Phi(j)$, $j<0$. We are looking for unitary interpolants $U$ for which the Toeplitz operator…

We study in this paper very badly approximable matrix functions on the unit circle $\T$, i.e., matrix functions $\Phi$ such that the zero function is a superoptimal approximation of $\Phi$. The purpose of this paper is to obtain a…

A hypoelliptic operator in the Heisenberg calculus on a compact contact manifold is a Fredholm operator. Its symbol determines an element in the K-theory of the noncommutative algebra of Heisenberg symbols. We construct a periodic cyclic…

We consider the problem of approximation of matrix functions of class $L^p$ on the unit circle by matrix functions analytic in the unit disk in the norm of $L^p$, $2\le p<\be$. For an $m\times n$ matrix function $\Phi$ in $L^p$, we consider…

This paper concerns the analysis of an unbounded Toeplitz-like operator generated by a rational matrix function having poles on the unit circle T. It extends the analysis of such operators generated by scalar rational functions with poles…

In this paper we consider the subnormality of block Toeplitz operators $T_\Phi$, where $\Phi$ is an $n\times n$ matrix-valued function on the unit circle $\mathbb T$ of the form $$ \Phi=Q\Phi^* \quad \hbox{($Q$ is a finite Blaschke--Potapov…

For a rational matrix function $\Phi$ with poles outside the unit circle, we estimate the degree of the unique superoptimal approximation $\A\Phi$ by matrix functions analytic in the unit disk. We obtain sharp estimates in the case of…

In this paper, we identify a large class of hyponormal block Toeplitz operators whose self-commutators are of finite rank. \ Recall that an operator $T_\varphi$ is hyponormal and $[T_\varphi^{*}, T_\varphi]$ is a finite rank operator if and…

In a recent paper (Groenewald et al.\ {\em Complex Anal.\ Oper.\ Theory} \textbf{15:1} (2021)) we considered an unbounded Toeplitz-like operator $T_\Omega$ generated by a rational matrix function $\Omega$ that has poles on the unit circle…

In this paper a definition is given for an unbounded Toeplitz-like operator with rational symbol which has poles on the unit circle. It is shown that the operator is Fredholm if and only if the symbol has no zeroes on the unit circle, and a…

Let $\Phi$ be an $N$-function whose Matuszewska-Orlicz indices satisfy $1<\alpha_\Phi\le\beta_\Phi<\infty$. Using these indices, we introduce ``interpolation friendly" classes of Fourier multipliers $M_{[\Phi]}$ and $M_{\langle\Phi\rangle}$…

We will give a complete description of $\mathcal{I}$, the set of invertible quasicontinuous functions on the unit circle. After doing this, we will then classify the path-connected components of $\mathcal{I}$ and show that $\mathcal{I}$ has…

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…

Suppose that $\phi$ and $\psi$ are smooth complex-valued functions on the circle that are invertible, have winding number zero with respect to the origin, and have meromorphic extensions to an open neighborhood of the closed unit disk. Let…

In this paper, we discuss index theory for Toeplitz operators on a discrete quarter-plane of two-variable rational matrix function symbols. By using Gohberg-Krein theory for matrix factorizations, we extend the symbols defined originally on…

Let $\lambda_{\phi}(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke holomorphic or Hecke--Maass cusp form on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies two mild hypotheses. We establish a non-trivial upper…

This paper is a continuation of the work on unbounded Toeplitz-like operators $T_\Om$ with rational matrix symbol $\Om$ initiated in Groenewald et. al (Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 15, 1(2021)), where a Wiener-Hopf type factorization of $\Om$…

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…

It is observed that the infinite matrix with entries $(\sqrt{mn}\log (mn))^{-1}$ for $m, n\ge 2$ appears as the matrix of the integral operator $\mathbf{H}f(s):=\int_{1/2}^{+\infty}f(w)(\zeta(w+s)-1)dw$ with respect to the basis…
