A well known result of C. Cowen states that, for a symbol $\varphi \in L^{\infty }, \; \varphi \equiv \bar{f}+g \;\;(f,g\in H^{2})$, the Toeplitz operator $T_{\varphi }$ acting on the Hardy space of the unit circle is hyponormal if and only…

We apply the theory of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces to describe kernels of some Toeplitz operators on the classical Hardy space $H^2$. In particular, we discuss the kernels of the operators $T_{\bar f/ f}$ and $T_{\bar I\bar f/ f}$, where $f$…

For weighted Toeplitz operators $\T^N_\phi$ defined on spaces of holomorphic functions in the unit ball, we derive regularity properties of the solutions $f$ to the integral equation $\T^N_\phi(f)=h$ in terms of the regularity of the symbol…

Let $S$ be the shift operator on the Hardy space $H^2$ and let $S^*$ be its adjoint. A closed subspace $\FF$ of $H^2$ is said to be nearly $S^*$-invariant if every element $f\in\FF$ with $f(0)=0$ satisfies $S^*f\in\FF$. In particular, the…

The Invariant Subspace Problem (ISP) for Hilbert spaces asks if every bounded linear operator has a non-trivial closed invariant subspace. Due to the existence of universal operators (in the sense of Rota) the ISP can be solved by proving…

A Toeplitz operator $T_\varphi$, $\varphi \in L^\infty(\mathbb{T}^n)$, is a partial isometry if and only if there exist inner functions $\varphi_1, \varphi_2 \in H^\infty(\mathbb{D}^n)$ such that $\varphi_1$ and $\varphi_2$ depends on…

A truncated Toeplitz operator is the compression $A_{\phi}:\K_{\Theta} \to \K_{\Theta}$ of a Toeplitz operator $T_{\phi}:H^2\to H^2$ to a model space $\K_{\Theta} := H^2 \ominus \Theta H^2$. For $\Theta$ inner, let $\T_{\Theta}$ denote the…

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 introduce and systematically study a class of operators that arise naturally due to the Beurling decomposition of the Hardy space $H^2=K_\theta \oplus \theta H^2$. While the compressions of classical Toeplitz and Hankel operators to the…

Let $\varphi$ be a nonnegative integrable function on $(0,\infty)$. It is well-known that the Hausdorff operator $\mathcal H_\varphi$ generated by $\varphi$ is bounded on the real Hardy space $H^1(\mathbb R)$. The aim of this paper is to…

A classical result by R. Rochberg says that every bounded Toeplitz operator $T$ on the Hilbert Paley-Wiener space $\mathrm{PW}_a^2$ admits a bounded symbol $\varphi$. We generalize this result to Toeplitz operators on the Banach…

We show that an infinite Toeplitz+Hankel matrix $T(\varphi) + H(\psi)$ generates a bounded (compact) operator on $\ell^p(\mathbb{N}_0)$ with $1\leq p\leq \infty$ if and only if both $T(\varphi)$ and $H(\psi)$ are bounded (compact). We also…

In this article, we completely characterize absolutely norm attaining Hankel operators and absolutely minimum attaining Toeplitz operators. We also improve \cite[Theorem 2.1]{RGSSSTOE1}, by characterizing the absolutely norm attaining…

We consider kernels of unbounded Toeplitz operators in $H^p(\mathbb C^+)$ in terms of a factorization of their symbols. We study the existence of a minimal Toeplitz kernel containing a given function in $H^p(\mathbb C^+)$, we describe the…

A Hankel operator $\mathbf{H}_\varphi$ on the Hardy space $H^2$ of the unit circle with analytic symbol $\varphi$ has minimal norm if $\|\mathbf{H}_\varphi\|=\|\varphi \|_2$ and maximal norm if $\|\mathbf{H}_\varphi\| = \|\varphi\|_\infty$.…

This paper considers model spaces in an $H_p$ setting. The existence of unbounded functions and the characterisation of maximal functions in a model space are studied, and decomposition results for Toeplitz kernels, in terms of model…

For a bounded analytic function $\varphi$ on the unit disk $\D$ with $\|\varphi\|_\infty\le1$ we consider the defect operators $D_\varphi$ and $D_{\overline\varphi}$ of the Toeplitz operators $T_\varphi$ and $T_{\overline\varphi}$,…

In this paper, we establish the essential criteria for the hyponormality and quasinormality of the unbounded Toeplitz operator $T_{\varphi}$ with non-harmonic symbol, acting on the Fock-Sobolev space $F^{2, m}(\mathbb{C})$. The study shows…

We consider truncated Toeplitz operator on nearly invariant subspaces of the Hardy space $H^2$. Of some importance in this context is the boundary behavior of the functions in these spaces which we will discuss in some detail.

In this paper we are concerned with hyponormality and subnormality of block Toeplitz operators acting on the vector-valued Hardy space $H^2_{\mathbb{C}^n}$ of the unit circle. Firstly, we establish a tractable and explicit criterion on the…
