Let $\Phi$ be a continuous $n\times n$ matrix-valued function on the unit circle $\T$ such that the $(k-1)$th singular value of the Hankel operator with symbol $\Phi$ is greater than the $k$th singular value. In this case, it is well-known…

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…

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 $\Om$…

This paper is concerned with the Wiener-Hopf indices of unimodular rational matrix functions on the imaginary axis. These indices play a role in the Fredholm theory for Wiener-Hopf integral operators. Our main result gives formulas for the…

Wiener-Hopf factorisation plays an important role in the theory of Toeplitz operators. We consider here Toeplitz operators in the Hardy spaces $H^p$ of the upper half-plane and we review how their Fredholm properties can be studied in terms…

Inspired by the paper of Groenewald, Kaashoek and Ran (Wiener-Hopf indices of unitary functions on the unit circle in terms of realizations and related results on Toeplitz operators. \emph{Indag. Math.} 28, (2017), 649-710), we present an…

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 $M_{\langle\Phi\rangle}$…

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…

We study the problem of invariance of indices of thematic factorizations. Such factorizations were introduced in [PY1] for studying superoptimal approximation by bounded analytic matrix functions. As shown in [PY1], the indices may depend…

In this paper, we study matrix functions of bounded type from the viewpoint of describing an interplay between function theory and operator theory. \ We first establish a criterion on the coprime-ness of two singular inner functions and…

We continue studying the problem of analytic approximation of matrix functions. We introduce the notion of a partial canonical factorization of a badly approximable matrix function $\Phi$ and the notion of a canonical factorization of a…

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…

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 consider matrix functions with certain invariance under inversion in the unit circle. If such a function satisfies a positivity assumption on the unit circle, then only zero partial indices appear in its Riemann-Hilbert (Wiener-Hopf)…

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…

In this paper we study operators of the form $M(\phi)=T(\phi)+H(\phi)$ where $T(\phi)$ and $H(\phi)$ are the Toeplitz and Hankel operators acting on $H^p(\T)$ with generating function $\phi\in L^\iy(\T)$. It turns out that $M(\phi)$ is…

Let $\Phi:V\to V\otimes U$ be an intertwining operator between representations of a simple Lie algebra (quantum group, affine Lie algebra). We define its generalized character to be the following function on the Cartan subalgebra with…

A bounded operator $T$ on a separable, complex Hilbert space is said to be odd symmetric if $I^*T^tI=T$ where $I$ is a real unitary satisfying $I^2=-1$ and $T^t$ denotes the transpose of $T$. It is proved that such an operator can always be…

In the work we propose an algorithm for a Wiener -- Hopf factorization of scalar polynomials based on notions of indices and essential polynomials. The algorithm uses computations with finite Toeplitz matrices and permits to obtain…
