On a cell decomposition for Hankel matrices and rational functions.
One computes the joint and essential joint spectra of a pair of multiplication operators with bounded analytic functions on the Hardy spaces of the unit ball in .
The purpose of this paper is to study the Sarason’s problem on Fock spaces of polyanalytic functions. Namely, given two polyanalytic symbols and , we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the boundedness of some Toeplitz products subjected to certain restriction on and . We also characterize this property in terms of the Berezin transform.
In 1997 Pták defined generalized Hankel operators as follows: Given two contractions and , an operator is said to be a generalized Hankel operator if and satisfies a boundedness condition that depends on the unitary parts of the minimal isometric dilations of and . This approach, call it (P), contrasts with a previous one developed by Pták and Vrbová in 1988, call it (PV), based on the existence of a previously defined generalized Toeplitz operator. There seemed to be a strong but somewhat...
The paper discusses Problems 8 and 88 posed by Stanisław Mazur in the Scottish Book. It turns out that negative solutions to both problems are immediate consequences of the results of Peller [J. Operator Theory 7 (1982)]. We discuss here some quantitative aspects of Problems 8 and 88 and give answers to open problems discussed in a recent paper of Pełczyński and Sukochev in connection with Problem 88.
We prove that the self-commutator of a Toeplitz operator with unbounded analytic rational symbol has a dense domain in both the Bergman space and the Hardy space of the unit disc. This is a basic step towards establishing whether the self-commutator has a compact or trace-class extension.
For any holomorphic function on the unit polydisk we consider its restriction to the diagonal, i.e., the function in the unit disc defined by , and prove that the diagonal map maps the space of the polydisk onto the space of the unit disk.
If G is a discrete group, the algebra CD(G) of convolution dominated operators on l²(G) (see Definition 1 below) is canonically isomorphic to a twisted L¹-algebra . For amenable and rigidly symmetric G we use this to show that any element of this algebra is invertible in the algebra itself if and only if it is invertible as a bounded operator on l²(G), i.e. CD(G) is spectral in the algebra of all bounded operators. For G commutative, this result is known (see [1], [6]), for G noncommutative discrete...
