Abstract

In this paper we study the kernels of Toeplitz operators on both the scalar and the vector-valued Hardy space for $ 1 < p < \infty $. We show existence of a minimal kernel of any element of the vector-valued Hardy space and we determine a symbol for the corresponding Toeplitz operator. In the scalar case we give an explicit description of a maximal function for a given Toeplitz kernel. In the vectorial case we show not all Toeplitz kernels have a maximal function and in the case of $p=2$ we find the exact conditions for when a Toeplitz kernel has a maximal function. For both the scalar and vector-valued Hardy space we study the minimal Toeplitz kernel containing multiple elements of the Hardy space, we also find an equivalent condition for a function in the Smirnov class to be cyclic for the backwards shift.

A Complex Geometric Approach to the Discrete Gabor Transform and Localization Operators on the Flat Torus

In a recent paper, the discrete Gabor transform was connected to a Gabor transform with a time frequency domain given by the flat torus. We show that the corresponding Bargmann-Fock spaces can be expressed as theta functions (or equivalently line bundles on Abelian varieties). We give applications of this viewpoint to frame results for the discrete Gabor transform. In particular, we get necessary conditions which hold in higher dimensions and can expand the known results in the one dimensional case, the primary tool being the theorem of the square. We also give an application to asymptotics of restriction operators which arises via the asymptotic behavior of Bergman kernels and Toeplitz operators for high tensor powers of line bundles and find that time frequency restriction operators on the flat torus will exhibit "plunge" behaviors similar to those of time frequency restriction operators in other contexts.

On a minimal Andô dilation for a pair of strict contractions

The isometric dilation of a pair of commuting contractions due to Andô is not minimal. We modify Andô's dilation and construct a minimal isometric dilation on $\mathcal H \oplus_2 \ell_2(\mathcal H \oplus_2 \mathcal H)$ for a commuting pair of strict contractions on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. In the same spirit, we construct under certain conditions a minimal Andô dilation for a commuting pair of strict Banach space contractions. Further, we show that an Andô dilation is possible even for a more general pair of commuting contractions $(T_1,T_2)$ on a normed space $\mathbb X$ provided that the function $A_{T_i}: \mathbb X \rightarrow \mathbb R$ given by $A_{T_i}(x)=(\|x\|^2-\|T_ix\|^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ defines a norm on $\mathbb X$ for $i=1,2$.

Some properties of Fourier quasicrystals and measures on a strip

We extend certain results of the theory of Fourier quasicrystals on the real line to the case of a horizontal strip of finite width. For measures in a strip we use a natural generalization of the usual Fourier transform for measures on the line. We consider positive or translation bounded measures $μ$ on a strip whose Fourier transform is a pure point measure $\hatμ=\sum_{γ\inΓ}b_γδ_γ$ (as usual, $δ_γ$ is the unit mass at the point $γ$). We prove that the measure $ν=\sum_{γ\inΓ}|b_γ|^2δ_γ$ has the exponential growth. Moreover, if for some $η>0$ the points of $Γ$ in every interval of length $η$ are linearly independent over integers, then the measure $\hatμ$ also has the exponential growth.
