Non-vanishing functions and Toeplitz operators on tube-type domains

Abstract: We prove an index theorem for Toeplitz operators on irreducible tube--type domains and we extend our results to Toeplitz operators with matrix symbols. In order to prove our index theorem, we proved a result asserting that a non--vanishing function on the Shilov boundary of a tube--type bounded symmetric domain, not necessarily irreducible, is equal to a unimodular function defined as the product of powers of generic norms times an exponential function.

Review text

In the paper, the author proves an index theorem for Toeplitz operators on irreducible tube-type bounded symmetric domains. It can be viewed as an extension of \textit{G.\,J.\thinspace Murphy}'s result for Toeplitz operators on the compact group of unitary \(2\times 2\) matrices [J.~Funct.\ Anal.\ 234, No.\,2, 261--276 (2006; Zbl 1100.47026)]. The proof of the index theorem uses the theory of Toeplitz operators on bounded symmetric domains [\textit{H.\,Upmeier}, ``Toeplitz operators and index theory in several complex variables (Basel:\ Birkhäuser) (1996; Zbl 0957.47023)]. Along the way, the author obtains a result asserting that a non-vanishing function on the Shilov boundary of a tube-type bounded symmetric domain, not necessarily irreducible, is equal to a unimodular function defined as the product of powers of generic norms times an exponential function. The main result of the paper is also extended to the related Toeplitz operators with matrix symbols.
