For a bounded function $\varphi$ on the unit circle $\mathbb T$, let $T_\varphi$ be the associated Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space $H^2$. Assume that the kernel $$K_2(\varphi):=\{f\in H^2:\,T_\varphi f=0\}$$ is nontrivial. Given a…
Inspired by our previous work on the boundedness of Toeplitz operators, we introduce weak BMO and VMO type conditions, denoted by BWMO and VWMO, respectively, for functions on the open unit disc of the complex plane. We show that the…
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…
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 study the restriction operator from the Bergman space of a domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to the Bergman space of a non-empty open subset of the domain. We relate the restriction operator to the Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space of the…
We study subnormal Toeplitz operators on the vector-valued Hardy space of the unit circle, along with an appropriate reformulation of P.R. Halmos's Problem 5: Which subnormal block Toeplitz operators are either normal or analytic? We extend…
Hankel operators with anti-holomorphic symbols are studied for a large class of weighted Fock spaces on $\cn$. The weights defining these Hilbert spaces are radial and subject to a mild smoothness condition. In addition, it is assumed that…
We use quantum harmonic analysis and representation theory to provide a new proof of Xia's theorem: "Toeplitz operators are norm dense in the Toeplitz algebra over the Bergman space of the unit ball."
In this paper we study traces of an integral operator on two orthogonal subspaces of a $L^2$ space. One of the two traces is shown to be zero. Also, we prove that the trace of the operator on the second subspace is nonnegative. Hence, the…
We find a concrete integral formula for the class of generalized Toeplitz operators $T_a$ in Bergman spaces $A^p$, $1<p<\infty$, studied in an earlier work by the authors. The result is extended to little Hankel operators. We give an…
There are three main results in this paper. First, we find an easily computable and simple condition which is necessary and sufficient for a commuting tuple of contractions to possess a non-zero Toeplitz operator. This condition is just…
It is shown that a positive (bounded linear) operator on a Hilbert space with trivial kernel is unitarily equivalent to a Hankel operator that satisfies double positivity condition if and only if it is non-invertible and has simple spectrum…
We consider the weighted Bergman spaces HL^2(B^d,\mu_{\lambda}), where d\mu_\lambda(z)=c_{\lambda}(1-|z|^2)^lambda d\tau, \tau being the hyperbolic volume measure. These spaces are nonzero if and only if \lambda>d. For 0<\lambda\leq d,…
This note is a follow-up to a recent paper by the author. Most of that theory is now realized in a new setting where the vector space of symbols is not necessarily an algebra nor is it equipped with an inner product, although it does have a…
For any bounded measurable function $f$ on the unit ball $B_n$, let $T_f$ be the Toeplitz operator with symbol $f$ acting on the Bergman space $A^2(B_n)$. The Zero-Product Problem asks: if $f_1,..., f_N$ are bounded measurable functions…
For an infinite Toeplitz matrix $T$ with nonnegative real entries we find the conditions, under which the equation $\boldsymbol{x}=T\boldsymbol{x}$, where $\boldsymbol{x}$ is an infinite vector-column, has a nontrivial bounded positive…
For a rational valued periodic function, we associate a Dirichlet series and provide a new necessary and sufficient condition for the vanishing of this Dirichlet series specialized at positive integers. This question was initiated by…
For three standard models of commutative algebras generated by Toeplitz operators in the weighted analytic Bergman space on the unit disk, we find their representations as the algebras of bounded functions of certain unbounded self-adjoint…
Truncated Toeplitz operators are compressions of Toeplitz operators on model spaces; they have received much attention in the last years. This survey article presents several recent results, which relate boundedness, compactness, and…
It is proved that the Epstein zeta-function corresponding to a binary positive definite quadratic form with integer coefficients has a positive proportion of its non-trivial zeros on the critical line.
