Abstract: In this paper a definition is given for an unbounded Toeplitz-like operator with rational symbol which has poles on the unit circle. It is shown that the operator is Fredholm if and only if the symbol has no zeroes on the unit circle, and a formula for the index is given as well. Finally, a matrix representation of the operator is discussed.


Let \(H^{p}\) (\(1 < p < \infty\)) be the standard Hardy space on the unit disk \(\mathbb D\) in the complex plane, and let \(\mathbb P\) be the Riesz projection of \(L^{p}=L^{p}(\mathbb T)\) (\(\mathbb T=\partial \mathbb D\)) onto \(H^{p}\). The authors introduce and analyze Toeplitz-like operators with rational symbols having poles on \(\mathbb T\). Such operators can be unbounded and are defined as follows. Let \(\mathrm{Rat}\) denote the space of rational complex functions and let \(\mathrm{Rat}_{0}(\mathbb T)\) denote the subspace of strictly proper functions from \(\mathrm{Rat}\) with all poles on \(\mathbb T\). For \(\omega\in\mathrm{Rat}\), the Toeplitz-like operator \(T_\omega: H^p\to H^p\), \(1<p<\infty\), is defined as follows: \(\mathrm{Dom}(T_\omega)=\lbrace g\in H^p \ |\ \omega g = f + \rho \text{ with } f\in L^p,\,\rho\in \mathrm{Rat}_{0}(\mathbb T)\rbrace\), \(T_\omega g=\mathbb P f\). If \(\omega\) has no poles on \(\mathbb T\), this definition coincides with the case of classical Toeplitz operators. The authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for \(T_\omega\) to have closed range. It is shown that \(T_\omega\) is Fredholm if and only is its symbol \(\omega\) does not vanish on \(\mathbb T\) and the index formula is given. The authors introduce and investigate the matrix representation of \(T_\omega\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 1411.47002].
