Abstract: We consider harmonic Toeplitz operators where is the orthogonal projection onto , , , is a bounded domain with , and is a suitable multiplier. First, we complement the known criteria which guarantee that is in the th Schatten-von Neumann class , by sufficient conditions which imply , the weak counterpart of . Next, we assume that is the unit ball in , and is radially symmetric, and investigate the eigenvalue asymptotics of if has a power-like decay at or is compactly supported in . Further, we consider general and which is regular in , and admits a power-like decay of rate at , and we show that in this case is unitarily equivalent to a pseudo-differential operator of order , self-adjoint in . Using this unitary equivalence, we obtain the main asymptotic term of the eigenvalue counting function for the operator . Finally, we introduce the Krein Laplacian , self-adjoint in ; it is known that , and the zero eigenvalue of is isolated. We perturb by , and show that . Assuming that and , we study the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues of near the origin, and find that the effective Hamiltonian which governs this distribution is the Toeplitz operator .
