Abstract: In this paper we characterize the compact operators on Aaplpha(mathbbBn) when 1<p<infty and alpha>−1. The main result shows that an operator on Aaplpha(mathbbBn) is compact if and only if it belongs to the Toeplitz algebra and its Berezin transform vanishes on the boundary of the ball.


The weighted Bergman space \(A_\alpha^p\) on the unit ball \({\mathbb B}_n\) of \({\mathbb C}^n\) consists of all functions \(f\) holomorphic on \({\mathbb B}_n\) for which \[ \left\|f\right\|^p_{A^p_\alpha}:= \int_{{\mathbb B}_n} \left|f(z)\right|^p(1-|z|^2)^\alpha\, d\nu(z)<\infty, \] where \(d\nu\) is the standard Lebesgue measure. For any operator \(S\) acting on \(A_\alpha^p\), its Berezin transform is the function \(B(S)\) the value of which at \(z\in{\mathbb B}_n\) is the pairing of \(k_z^{(q,\alpha)}\) and \(Sk_z^{(p,\alpha)}\). Here, \(1<p<\infty\), \(q=p/(p-1)\), \(\alpha>-1\), and \[ k_\lambda^{(r,\alpha)}(z)=\frac{(1-|\lambda|^2)^{(n+1+\alpha)/q}}{(1-\overline{\lambda}z)^{n+1+\alpha}}, \quad r=p,q. \] The main result of the paper is a compactness criterion, according to which \(S\) is compact if and only if it belongs to the algebra \({\mathcal T}_{p,\alpha}\) generated by all Toeplitz operators with \(L_\infty\) symbols acting on \(A_\alpha^p\) and \(\lim_{|z|\to 1} B(S)(z)=0\). This is a generalization of an earlier result by the second author [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 56, No. 5, 2185--2232 (2007; Zbl 1131.47024)] from the unweighted case \(\alpha=0\).
