Abstract: This paper deals with subnormality of Toeplitz operators with matrix-valued symbols and, in particular, with an appropriate reformulation of Halmos's Problem 5: Which subnormal Toeplitz operators with matrix-valued symbols are either normal or analytic? In 1976, M. Abrahamse showed that if $varphiin{L}^{i}nfty$ is such that $varphi$ or $overlinevarphi$ is of bounded type and if $T_{v}arphi$ is subnormal, then $T_{v}arphi$ is either normal or analytic. In this paper we establish a matrix-valued version of Abrahamse's Theorem and then apply this result to solve the following Toeplitz completion problem: Find the unspecified Toeplitz entries of the partial block Toeplitz matrix ${\displaystyle }$ A:=�egin{bmatrix} T_{overline b_alpha} & ?\?& T_{overline b_�eta}end{bmatrix}quadhbox{($$)} ${\displaystyle }$ so that $A$ becomes subnormal, where $b_{l}ambda$ is a Blaschke factor of the form $b_{l}ambda(z):=fracz-lambda1-overlinelambdaz$ ($lambdainmathbbD$).
