Toeplitz operators with piecewise quasicontinuous symbols (Q2517059)

The author denotes by \(PQC\) the \(C^*\)-algebra of functions on the unit circle \(\partial \mathbb{D}\) generated by the Sarason algebra \(QC\) of quasicontinuous functions and the algebra \(PC\) of piecewise continuous functions having a fixed finite set of jump points. There are at least two natural extensions of functions from \(PQC\) to the unit disk \(\mathbb{D}\): the harmonic and the radial ones. The main result of the paper consists in the description of the Calkin algebra of the \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal{T}_{PQC}\) generated by Toeplitz operators with \(PQC\)-symbols, extended to \(\mathbb{D}\), and acting on the standard Bergman space over \(\mathbb{D}\). Moreover, the author proves that the obtained result does not depend on the chosen extension.
