Toeplitz operators on boundary Hardy space #
For an essentially bounded symbol a on UnitAddCircle, the Toeplitz operator T_a is the
compression P M_a |H² of the multiplication operator M_a on circle L² to the boundary Hardy
space H², where P is the orthogonal projection onto H². This file bundles the symbol map
a ↦ T_a as a bounded complex-linear map TauCeti.toeplitz and proves its basic properties:
TauCeti.toeplitz_apply_eq_zero_iff:T_a f = 0exactly whena flies in the orthogonal complement of Hardy space;TauCeti.inner_hardyBasis_toeplitz_hardyBasis: in the Hardy basise₀, e₁, …the matrix entry(i, j)ofT_ais the Fourier coefficientâ(i - j);TauCeti.adjoint_toeplitz: the adjoint ofT_ais the Toeplitz operator of the complex conjugate symbol;TauCeti.toeplitz_const: a constant symbol acts by scalar multiplication;TauCeti.toeplitz_fourierLp_natCast_hardyBasis,TauCeti.toeplitz_fourierLp_one_hardyBasis: the Toeplitz operator ofe_m,m ≥ 0, raises the Hardy basis bym; in particular the forward shiftS = T_zsendseₙtoeₙ₊₁;TauCeti.coe_toeplitz_fourierLp_natCast_apply,TauCeti.isometry_toeplitz_fourierLp_natCast,TauCeti.toeplitz_fourierLp_natCast: form ≥ 0, the Toeplitz operator ofe_mis multiplication bye_m, an isometry, and themth power of the forward shift;TauCeti.toeplitz_fourierLp_neg: the Toeplitz operator ofe_(-k)is the adjoint of that ofe_k;TauCeti.norm_toeplitz: the operator norm ofT_ais exactly‖a‖∞, so the symbol map is an isometry (TauCeti.isometry_toeplitz) and in particular injective (TauCeti.toeplitz_injective).
The inequality ‖T_a‖ ≤ ‖a‖∞ is immediate from the compression. For the reverse inequality,
multiplication by a Fourier monomial e_N is unitary on circle L² and commutes with M_a, and
for N large it moves any two trigonometric polynomials f, g into H². Hence
|⟪f, a g⟫| = |⟪e_N f, T_a (e_N g)⟫| ≤ ‖T_a‖ ‖f‖ ‖g‖, which extends by density to all of L²
and gives ‖M_a‖ ≤ ‖T_a‖; the operator norm of M_a is ‖a‖∞. This norm-equality
argument follows Böttcher–Silbermann, Analysis of Toeplitz Operators, §2.
