Noncompactness of Toeplitz operators between abstract Hardy spaces (Q2656198): Difference between revisions

Extending the classical result by Brown and Halmos on compactness of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space over the unit circle \(\mathbb{T}\), \textit{K. Leśnik} [Stud. Math. 249, No. 2, 163--192 (2019; Zbl 07118348)] proved that a Toeplitz operator, acting between abstract Hardy spaces \(H[X]\) and \(H[Y]\) build upon possibly different rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces \(X\) and \(Y\) over \(\mathbb{T}\) and such that \(Y\) has nontrivial Boyd indices, is compact if and only if its symbol is identically zero a.e. on \(\mathbb{T}\). The paper provides further extension of this result for much more general spaces \(X\) and \(Y\). In particular, it is shown that there are no nontrivial compact Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space \(H^1 = H[L^1]\), although \(L^1\) has trivial Boyd indices. The author approach is based on the use of the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness.
