Some properties of solutions to the Riccati equations in connection with Bergman spaces (Q2188459)

The authors investigate the properties of solutions to operator Riccati equations in connection with Bergman spaces. Here, the Riccati equation of the form \(XAX+XB-CX-D=0\) is studied, where \(A, B, C, D\) are linear operators defined on Bergman spaces \(A_\alpha^2(\mathbb{D})\), the Hilbert space of all analytic function \(f\) on the unit disk with \[ \|f\|^2= \int_{\mathbb{D}} |f(z)|^2 (a+1)(1-|z|^2)^\alpha\, d A(z)<\infty, \] where \(dA\) is the area measure. To solve Riccati equations in some concrete cases is an important problem in operator theory. This line has been attacked under various settings. For example, \textit{J.-J. Chen} et al. [Front. Math. China 12, No. 4, 769--785 (2017; Zbl 1454.47020)] have characterized Riccati equations in connection with Dirichlet spaces. Some necessary conditions were given by \textit{M. T. Karaev} [Monatsh. Math. 155, No. 2, 161--166 (2008; Zbl 1148.47013)] for the solvability of the Riccati equation by Toeplitz operators on Hardy space. The solvability of the Riccati operator equation on the Engliš algebra has also been studied [\textit{M. T. Karaev} et al., Stud. Math. 232, No. 2, 113--141 (2016; Zbl 1372.47037)]. This paper characterizes some necessary conditions for the solvability of the Riccati equation on the set of all Toeplitz operators on the Bergman spaces \(A_\alpha^2(\mathbb{D})\), extending Karaev's results on the Hardy space. It is worthy to mention that in studying the solvability of the Riccati equation, the authors obtain an interesting consequence that concerns the invariant subspaces of the Toeplitz operator.
