It is well known that one can often construct a star-product by expanding the product of two Toeplitz operators asymptotically into a series of other Toeplitz operators multiplied by increasing powers of the Planck constant h. This is the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization. We show that one can obtain in a similar way in fact any star-product which is equivalent to the Berezin-Toeplitz star-product, by using instead of Toeplitz operators other suitable mappings from compactly supported smooth functions...

The discrete Wiener-Hopf operator generated by a function $a\left(e^{i\theta }\right)$ with the Fourier series ${\sum }_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}{a}_n{e}^{in\theta }$ is the operator T(a) induced by the Toeplitz matrix ${\left(a_{j-k}\right)}_{j,k=0}^{\infty }$ on some weighted sequence space $l^p({\mathbb{Z}}_{+},w)$. We assume that w satisfies the Muckenhoupt $A_p$ condition and that a is a piecewise continuous function subject to some natural multiplier condition. The last condition is in particular satisfied if a is of bounded variation. Our main result is a Fredholm criterion and an index formula for T(a). It implies that the essential spectrum...

We give several new characterizations of the dual of the dyadic Hardy space H1,d(T2), the so-called dyadic BMO space in two variables and denoted BMOdprod. These include characterizations in terms of Haar multipliers, in terms of the "symmetrised paraproduct" Λb, in terms of the rectangular BMO norms of the iterated "sweeps", and in terms of nested commutators with dyadic martingale transforms. We further explore the connection between BMOdprod and John-Nirenberg type inequalities, and study a scale...
