Spectral theory of Toeplitz and Hankel operators on the Bergman space \(A^1\) (Q942241)

The paper studies the following problems about Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space \(A^1\) of the unit disk: boundedness, compactness, Fredholmness, and the Fredholm index. The difficulty of these problems is increased in the \(L^1\) setting because the Bergman projection (which is used in the definition of the Toeplitz operator) is no longer bounded on \(L^1\). The paper is one of a very few papers that study Hankel and Toeplitz operators on non-Hilbert spaces and contains several interesting results.
