Automorphisms on the Toeplitz algebra with piecewise continuous symbol on the unit ball (Q866828)

Let \(B\) be the open unit ball in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), denote by \(A^2(B)\) the Bergman space of square-integrable holomorphic functions on \(B\), and set \(B_+=\{(z_1,z_2,\ldots,z_n)\in B: \text{Im}\, z_1 >0\}\), \(B_-=\{(z_1,z_2,\ldots,z_n)\in B: \text{Im}\, z_1 <0\}\). Further, let \(HC(B)\) be the closed subalgebra of \(L^\infty (B)\) consisting of all functions \(\varphi\in L^\infty (B)\) such that their restrictions to \(B_+\) and \(B_-\) are uniformly continuous. In this paper, the author describes the automorphisms on the \(C^*\)-algebra generated in \({\mathcal B}(A^2(B))\) by Toeplitz operators with symbols in \(HC(B)\). To this end, the author first deduces an index formula for Toeplitz operators whose symbols are certain piecewise continuous function matrices on the unit ball.
