The index formula of Douglas is a formula which expresses the index of a Fredholm Toeplitz operator with a discontinuous symbol as the limit of the indices of a family of Fredholm Toeplitz operators with continuous symbols. This paper is concerned with Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space A of the unit ball of C. The symbols are supposed to be matrix functions with entries in C+H∞ or to be c...

and Applied Analysis 3 For commuting problem, in 1963, Brown and Halmos 2 showed that two bounded Toeplitz operators Tφ and Tψ on the classical Hardy space commute if and only if i both φ and ψ are analytic, ii both φ and ψ are analytic, or iii one is a linear function of the other. On the Bergman space of the unit disk, some similar results were obtained for Toeplitz operators with bounded har...

We study the structure of a class of weighted Toeplitz operators and obtain a description of the commutant of each operator in this class. We make some progress towards proving that the only operator in the commutant which is not a scalar multiple of the identity operator and which commutes with a nonzero compact operator is zero. The proof of the main statement relies on a conjecture which is ...

In the case of radial symbols we study the behavior of different properties (boundedness, compactness, spectral properties, etc.) of Toeplitz operators T (λ) a acting on weighted Bergman spaces Aλ(D) over the unit disk D, in dependence on λ, and compare their limit behavior under λ → +∞ with corresponding properties of the initial symbol a.

The Fredholm properties of Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space A have been well-known for continuous symbols since the 1970s. We investigate the case p = 1 with continuous symbols under a mild additional condition, namely that of the logarithmic vanishing mean oscillation in the Bergman metric. Most differences are related to boundedness properties of Toeplitz operators acting on A that ari...
