On some numerical characteristics of operators (Q486128)

Several numerical characteristics of Toeplitz operators \(T_\varphi\) on the Hardy space \(H^2({\mathbb D})\) of the unit disk \({\mathbb D}\), including the maximal numerical range and the maximal Berezin set, are studied. Let \(\widetilde{A}\) denote the Berezin symbol of a bounded linear operator \(A\) on the reproducing kernel Hilbert space \(H^2({\mathbb D})\). Let \(\varphi\in H^\infty\) be such that \(\|\varphi\|\leq 1\) and \(\theta\) be any nonconstant inner function. For any bounded linear operator \(A\) on \(H^2({\mathbb D})\), put \(N_{\varphi,\theta,A}:=T_\varphi(I-T_\theta AT_{\overline{\theta}})\). For any \(\varepsilon\in(0,1)\), let \(L_{\varepsilon,\theta}=\{z\in{\mathbb D}:|\theta(z)|\leq\varepsilon\}\). Among other results, the following estimate for \(\|\widetilde{A}\|_{L^\infty({\mathbb D})}\) is obtained: \(\|\widetilde{A}\|_{L^\infty({\mathbb D})}\geq \sup_{0<\varepsilon<1}\varepsilon^{-2} \|\varphi-\widetilde{N}_{\varphi,\theta,A}\|_{L^\infty(L_{\varepsilon,\theta})}\).
