Sums of Products of Toeplitz and Hankel Operators on the Dirichlet Space

On the Dirichlet space of the unit disk, we consider operators that are finite sums of Toeplitz products, Hankel products or products of a Toeplitz operator and a Hankel operator. We characterize when such operators are equal to zero. Our results extend several known results using completely different arguments.     

Generalized inversion of finite rank Hankel and Toeplitz operators with rational matrix symbols

The goal of the paper is a generalized inversion of finite rank Hankel operators and Hankel or Toeplitz operators with block matrices having finitely many rows. To attain it a left coprime fractional factorization of a strictly proper rational matrix function and the Bezout equation are used. Generalized inverses of these operators and generating functions for the inverses are explicitly constructed in terms of the fractional factorization.     

单位球Dirichlet空间上以拟齐次函数为符号的Toeplitz算子

In this paper, we study some algebraic properties of Toeplitz operators with quasihomogeneous symbols on the Dirichlet space of the unit ball Bn. First, we describe commutators of a radial Toeplitz operator and characterize commuting Toeplitz operators with quasihomogeneous symbols. Then we show that finite raak product of such operators only happens in the trivial case. Finally, some necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the product of two quasihomogeneous Toeplitz operators to be a quasihomogeneous Toeplitz operator.     

Toeplitz and Hankel operators on the Paley-Wiener space

The basic theory of Toeplitz and Hankel operators acting on the Paley-Weiner space is developed. This includes criteria for boundedness, compactness, being of finite rank, and membership in the Schatten-von Neumann ideals. Similar questions are considered for the related operators formed by commuting the discrete Hilbert transform with a multiplication operator.Supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Toeplitz Operators on the Dirichlet Space

In this paper a decomposition of Sobolev space is obtained. Then we prove that a Toeplitz operator on the Dirichlet space is compact only when it is the zero operator. For two Toeplitz operators on the Dirichlet space, we obtain the conditions for that they commute, their product is a Toeplitz operator, and their commutator or semi-commutator has finite rank, respectively.     

Algebraic properties of Toeplitz and small Hankel operators on the harmonic Bergman space

Asymptotic Toeplitz and Hankel operators on the Bergman space

In this paper the concept of asymptotic Toeplitz and asymptotic Hankel operators on the Bergman space are introduced and properties of these classes of operators are studied. The importance of this notion is that it associates with a class of operators a Toeplitz operator and with a class of operators a Hankel operator where the original operators are not even Toeplitz or Hankel. Thus it is possible to assign a symbol to an operator that is not Toeplitz or Hankel and hence a symbol calculus is obtained. Further a relation between Toeplitz operators and little Hankel operators on the Bergman space is established in some asymptotic sense.     

Algebraic properties and the finite rank problem for Toeplitz operators on the Segal-Bargmann space

We study three different problems in the area of Toeplitz operators on the Segal-Bargmann space in Cn. Extending results obtained previously by the first author and Y.L. Lee, and by the second author, we first determine the commutant of a given Toeplitz operator with a radial symbol belonging to the class Sym_>0(Cn) of symbols having certain growth at infinity. We then provide explicit examples of zero-products of non-trivial Toeplitz operators. These examples show the essential difference between Toeplitz operators on the Segal-Bargmann space and on the Bergman space over the unit ball. Finally, we discuss the “finite rank problem”. We show that there are no non-trivial rank one Toeplitz operators Tf for f∈Sym_>0(Cn). In all these problems, the growth at infinity of the symbols plays a crucial role.     

Essentially commuting Hankel and Toeplitz operators

We characterize when a Hankel operator and a Toeplitz operator have a compact commutator.     

Finite sums of Toeplitz products on the Dirichlet space

On the Dirichlet space of the unit disk, we consider a class of operators which contain finite sums of products of two Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols. We give characterizations of when an operator in that class is zero or compact. Also, we solve the zero product problem for products of finitely many Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols.     

Broken translation invariance in quasifree fermionic correlations out of equilibrium

Using the C^? algebraic scattering approach to study quasifree fermionic systems out of equilibrium in quantum statistical mechanics, we construct the nonequilibrium steady state in the isotropic XY chain whose translation invariance has been broken by a local magnetization and analyze the asymptotic behavior of the expectation value for a class of spatial correlation observables in this state. The effect of the breaking of translation invariance is twofold. Mathematically, the finite rank perturbation not only regularizes the scalar symbol of the invertible Toeplitz operator generating the leading order exponential decay but also gives rise to an additional trace class Hankel operator in the correlation determinant. Physically, in its decay rate, the nonequilibrium steady state exhibits a left mover-right mover structure affected by the scattering at the impurity.     

Finite Sums of Toeplitz Products on the Polydisk

On the Bergman space of the unit polydisk, we study a class of operators which contains sums of finitely many Toeplitz products with pluriharmonic symbols. We give characterizations of when an operator in that class has finite rank or is compact. As one of applications we show that sums of a certain number, depending on and increasing with the dimension, of semicommutators of Toeplitz operators with pluriharmonic symbols cannot be compact without being the zero operator.     

Toeplitz algebra and Hankel algebra on the harmonic Bergman space

In this paper we completely characterize compact Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space. By using this result we establish the short exact sequences associated with the Toeplitz algebra and the Hankel algebra. We show that the Fredholm index of each Fredholm operator in the Toeplitz algebra or the Hankel algebra is zero.     

On Ptak's Generalization of Hankel Operators

In 1997 Ptak defined generalized Hankel operators as follows: Given two contractions and , an operator is said to be a generalized Hankel operator if and X satisfies a boundedness condition that depends on the unitary parts of the minimal isometric dilations of T ₁ and T ₂. This approach, call it (P), contrasts with a previous one developed by Ptak and Vrbova in 1988, call it (PV), based on the existence of a previously defined generalized Toeplitz operator. There seemed to be a strong but somewhat hidden connection between the theories (P) and (PV) and we clarify that connection by proving that (P) is more general than (PV), even strictly more general for some T ₁ and T ₂, and by studying when they coincide. Then we characterize the existence of Hankel operators, Hankel symbols and analytic Hankel symbols, solving in this way some open problems proposed by Ptak.     

The rank of Hankel operators on harmonic Bergman spaces

We show that on the harmonic Bergman spaces, the Hankel operators with nonconstant harmonic symbol cannot be of finite rank.

     

双圆盘上Hardy空间上Hankel 算子和Toeplitz 算子的交换性

In this paper, we characterize when the Toeplitz operator Tf and the Hankel operator Hg commute on the Hardy space of the bidisk. For certain types of bounded symbols f and g, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on the symbols to guarantee TfHg = HgTf.     

Commuting dual Toeplitz operators on the orthogonal complement of the Dirichlet space

In this paper we characterize commuting dual Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols on the orthogonal complement of the Dirichlet space in the Sobolev space. We also obtain the sufficient and necessary conditions for the product of two dual Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols to be a finite rank perturbation of a dual Toeplitz operator.     

Toeplitz products with pluriharmonic symbols on the Hardy space over the ball

On the Hardy space over the unit ball in Cn, we consider operators which have the form of a finite sum of products of several Toeplitz operators. We study characterizing problems of when such an operator is compact or of finite rank. Some of our results show higher-dimensional phenomena.
