Kernels of Toeplitz operators

Abstract

Toeplitz operators are met in different fields of mathematics such as stochastic processes, signal theory, completeness problems, operator theory, etc. In applications, spectral and mapping properties are of particular interest. In this survey we will focus on kernels of Toeplitz operators. This raises two questions. First, how can one decide whether such a kernel is non trivial? We will discuss in some details the results starting with Makarov and Poltoratski in 2005 and their succeeding authors concerning this topic. In connection with these results we will also mention some intimately related applications to completeness problems, spectral gap problems and P{ó}lya sequences. Second, if the kernel is non-trivial, what can be said about the structure of the kernel, and what kind of information on the Toeplitz operator can be deduced from its kernel? In this connection we will review a certain number of results starting with work by Hayashi, Hitt and Sarason in the late 80's on the extremal function.

Convolution Regularization Preserves the $L^2$-Estimate Property for $(1,n)$-Forms

In this paper, we prove that the \(L^2\)-estimate property for \((1,n)\)-forms is preserved under the standard convolution regularization. As applications, we show that any singular Hermitian metric satisfying the optimal or multiple coarse \(L^2\)-estimate property for \((n,1)\) or \((1,n)\)-forms is Griffiths semi-positive. This resolves a question posed by Deng--Ning--Wang and a question by Inayama.

Sharp Bounds for Higher-Order Schippers Functionals Associated with Lune and Bean Domains

We obtain sharp bounds for the third- and fourth-order Schippers functionals, $|σ_3(f)(0)|$ and $|σ_4(f)(0)|$, for subclasses of univalent functions associated with non-classical geometric domains. In particular, we investigate the lune-starlike class $\mathcal{S}_{\leftmoon}^*$ and the lune-convex class $\mathcal{C}_{\leftmoon}$ determined by the subordination \[ \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} \prec z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, \qquad 1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)} \prec z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, \] respectively, together with the bean-domain class $\mathcal{BT}_{\mathfrak{B}}$ associated with \[ \mathfrak{B}(z)=\sqrt{1+\tanh z}. \] Using Carathéodory coefficient parametrizations and extremal optimization techniques, we derive exact estimates for the higher-order Schwarzian derivatives at the origin and identify the corresponding extremal functions. In addition, geometric descriptions of the associated extremal image domains are provided to illustrate the sharpness phenomena. The obtained results further yield sharp bounds for the initial Grunsky coefficients $g_{1,1}$ and $g_{1,2}$. These findings provide a precise description of higher-order Schwarzian structures for univalent functions related to lune and bean shaped domains.

Cesàro operator induced by a Bergman kernel

Let $μ$ be a positive Borel measure on $[0,1)$ and $ω$ a radial weight. In this paper we consider the Cesàro-type operator $C_{μ,ω}$ induced by the reproducing kernel $B^ω$ of the weighted Bergman space $A^2_ω$, given by $$ C_{μ,ω}(f)(z)=\int_{0}^{1}f(tz)B^ω_t(z)\,dμ(t), \quad z \in \mathbb{D}, $$ for functions $f$ analytic in $\mathbb{D}$. Under the assumption that $ω$ satisfies a natural doubling property, we study the boundedness of $C_{μ,ω}$ acting on several spaces of analytic functions, including Hardy spaces $H^p$ and weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_ν$. For $0<p,q<\infty$ and a two-sided doubling weight $ν$, we completely characterize when $C_{μ,ω}: H^p \to H^q$ and $C_{μ,ω}: A^p_ν \to A^q_ν$ are bounded in terms of the interplay of tail integrals or moments of the inducing weights and the measure $μ$. Many of the results obtained are new even in the setting of standard weights or when the Bergman reproducing kernel is replaced by the Cauchy kernel. In addition, we consider $C_{μ,ω}$ acting on $H^{\infty}$, Korenblum spaces and weighted Hardy spaces.
