We study the boundedness of Toeplitz operators with locally integrable symbols on Bergman spaces Ap(Ω), 1 < p < ∞, where Ω ⊂ ℂ is a bounded simply connected domain with polygonal boundary. We give sufficient conditions for the boundedness of generalized Toeplitz operators in terms of ‘averages’ of symbol over certain Cartesian squares. We use the Whitney decomposition of Ω in the proof. We also give examples of bounded Toeplitz operators on Ap(Ω) in the case where polygon Ω has such a large corner that the Bergman projection is unbounded.

Let $A_{{\it\alpha}}^{p}$ be the weighted Bergman space of the unit ball in ${\mathcal{C}}^{n}$, $n\geq 2$. Recently, Miao studied products of two Toeplitz operators defined on $A_{{\it\alpha}}^{p}$. He proved a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for boundedness of such products in terms of the Berezin transform. We modify the Berezin transform and improve his sufficient condition for products of Toeplitz operators. We also investigate products of two Hankel operators defined on $A_{{\it\alpha}}^{p}$, and products of the Hankel operator and the Toeplitz operator. In particular, in both cases, we prove sufficient conditions for boundedness of the products.

In this paper, we completely determine the commutativity of two Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space with integrable quasihomogeneous symbols, one of which is of the form $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}e^{ik\theta }r^{\, {m}}$. As an application, the problem of when their product is again a Toeplitz operator is solved. In particular, Toeplitz operators with bounded symbols on the harmonic Bergman space commute with $T_{e^{ik\theta }r^{\, {m}}}$ only in trivial cases, which appears quite different from results on analytic Bergman space in Čučković and Rao [‘Mellin transform, monomial symbols, and commuting Toeplitz operators’, J. Funct. Anal.154 (1998), 195–214].

We study the boundedness and compactness of Toeplitz operators Ta on Bergman spaces , 1 < p < ∞. The novelty is that we allow distributional symbols. It turns out that the belonging of the symbol to a weighted Sobolev space of negative order is sufficient for the boundedness of Ta. We show the natural relation of the hyperbolic geometry of the disc and the order of the distribution. A corresponding sufficient condition for the compactness is also derived.

Integrable operators arise in random matrix theory, where they describe the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of large self-adjoint random matrices from the generalized unitary ensembles. We consider discrete Tracy–Widom operators and give sufficient conditions for a discrete integrable operator to be the square of a Hankel matrix. Examples include the discrete Bessel kernel and kernels arising from the almost Mathieu equation and the Fourier transform of Mathieu's equation.

For any rotation-invariant positive regular Borel measure ν on the closed unit ball whose support contains the unit sphere , let L2a be the closure in L2 = L2(, dν) of all analytic polynomials. For a bounded Borel function f on , the Toeplitz operator Tf is defined by Tf(ϕ) = P(fϕ) for ϕ ∈ L2a, where P is the orthogonal projection from L2 onto L2a. We show that if f is continuous on , then Tf is compact if and only if f(z) = 0 for all z on the unit sphere. This is well known when L2a is replaced by the classical Bergman or Hardy space.

We consider in this paper the question of when the finite sum of products of two Toeplitz operators is a finite-rank perturbation of a single Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space over the unit disk. A necessary condition is found. As a consequence we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the product of three Toeplitz operators to be a finite-rank perturbation of a single Toeplitz operator.

Let $L^{2}=L^{2}(D,rdrd\theta/\pi)$ be the Lebesgue space on the open unit disc $D$ and let $L_{a}^2=L^{2}\cap\mathrm{Hol}(D)$ be a Bergman space on $D$. In this paper, we are interested in a closed subspace $\mathcal{M}$ of $L^{2}$ which is invariant under the multiplication by the coordinate function $z$, and a Hankel-type operator from $L_{a}^2$ to $\mathcal{M}^\bot$. In particular, we study an invariant subspace $\mathcal{M}$ such that there does not exist a finite-rank Hankel-type operator except a zero operator.
