Compact Toeplitz operators on the weighted Dirichlet space

From MaRDI portal





The weighted Sobolev space \(S(d\mu)\) is the completion of the space of smooth functions \(f\) on the unit disk \(\mathbb{D}\) for which \[ \|f\|^2= \int_\mathbb{D} |f|^2 d\mu +\int_\mathbb{D} | \frac{ \partial f}{\partial z}|^2 \,d\mu <\infty. \] The weighted Dirichlet space consists of all holomorphic functions \(h\) in \(S(d\mu)\) satisfying \(h(0)=0.\) If \(d\mu\) is the normalized area measure, then \(\mathcal{D}(d\mu)\) is the usual Dirichlet space. On the Dirichlet space, \textit{Y. J. Lee} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 329, No.~2, 1316--1329 (2007; Zbl 1154.31300)] proved that a compact Toeplitz operator with a special symbol on the Dirichlet space must be zero. \textit{T. Yu} [Integral Equations Oper. Theory 67, No.~2, 163--170 (2010; Zbl 1233.47026)] proved that this characterization is true for all Toeplitz operators on the Dirichlet space. Write \[ \Omega=\{u\in C^1(\mathbb{D}): u, \frac{\partial u}{\partial z}, \frac{\partial u}{\partial \overline{z}} \}. \] It is known that each function in \(\Omega\) can extend continuously on \(\overline{\mathbb{D}}.\) This paper focusses on the compactness of a Toeplitz operators with continuous symbol on the weighted Dirichlet space \(\mathcal{D}(d\sigma \frac{d\theta }{2\pi}).\) The authors show that, for a function \(f\) in \(\Omega\) which is continuous on \(\overline{\mathbb{D}}\), if \(T_f\) is compact, then \(f\) vanishes on \(\mathbb{T}\). Also they show that the converse is true under some restrictions. Besides, they give some sufficient conditions for \(T_f\) to be a compact operator, including the case of \(f\) being a polynomial.
