Abstract

We construct an operator 𝑅 whose restriction onto weighted pluriharmonic Bergman Space 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) is an isometric isomorphism between 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) and 𝑙#2. Furthermore, using the operator 𝑅 we prove that each Toeplitz operator 𝑇𝑎 with radial symbols is unitary to the multication operator 𝛾a,𝜇I. Meanwhile, the Wick function of a Toeplitz operator with radial symbol gives complete information about the operator, providing its spectral decomposition.

1. Introduction

Let 𝔹𝑛 be the open unit ball in the complex vector space 𝑛. For any 𝑧=(𝑧1,,𝑧𝑛) and 𝜉=(𝜉1,,𝜉𝑛) in 𝑛, let 𝑧𝜉=𝑛𝑗=1𝑧𝑗𝜉𝑗, where 𝜉𝑗 is the complex conjugate of 𝜉𝑗 and |𝑧|=𝑧𝑧. For a multi-index 𝛼=(𝛼1,,𝛼𝑛) and 𝑧=(𝑧1,,𝑧𝑛)𝑛, we write 𝑧𝛼=𝑧𝛼11𝑧𝛼𝑛𝑛, where 𝛼𝑘𝑍+={0}, and |𝛼|=𝛼1++𝛼𝑛 is its length, 𝛼!=𝛼1!𝛼𝑛!.

The weighted pluriharmonic Bergman space 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) is the subspace of the weighted space 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) consisting of all pluriharmonic functions on 𝔹𝑛. A pluriharmonic function in the unit ball is the sum of a holomorphic function and the conjugate of a holomorphic functions. It is known that 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) is a closed subspace of 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) and hence is a Hilbert space. Let 𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛 be the Hilbert space orthogonal projection from 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) onto 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛). For a function 𝑢𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛), the Toeplitz operator 𝑇𝑢𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) with symbol 𝑢 is the linear operator defined by 𝑇𝑢𝑓=𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛(𝑢𝑓),𝑓𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛).(1.1)

𝑇𝑢 is densely defined and not bounded in general.

The boundedness and compactness of Toeplitz operators on Bergman type spaces have been studied intensively in recent years. The fact that the product of two harmonic functions is no longer harmonic adds some mystery in the study of Toeplitz operators on harmonic Bergman space. Many methods which work for the operator on analytic Bergman spaces lost their effectiveness on harmonic Bergman space. Therefore new ideas and methods are needed. We refer to [13] for references about the results of Toeplitz operator on harmonic Bergman space. The paper [3] characterizes compact Toeplitz operators in the case of the unit disk 𝔻. In [2], the authors consider Toeplitz operators acting on the pluriharmonic Bergman space and study the problem of when the commutator or semicommutator of certain Toeplitz operators is zero. Lee [1] proved that two Toplitz operators acting on the pluriharmonic Bergman space with radial symbols and pluriharmonic symbol, respectively, commute only in an obvious case.

The authors in [4] analyze the influence of the radial component of a symbol to spectral, compactness and Fredholm properties of Toeplitz operators on Bergman space on unit disk 𝔻. In [5], they are devoted to study Toeplitz operators with radial symbols on the weighted Bergman spaces on the unit ball in 𝑛.

In this paper, we will be concerned with the question of Toeplitz operators with radial symbols on the weighted pluriharmonic Bergman space. Based on the techniques in [46], we construct an operator 𝑅 whose restriction onto weighted pluriharmonic Bergman space 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) is an isometric isomorphism between 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) and 𝑙#2, and 𝑅𝑅=𝐼𝑙#2𝑙#2,𝑅𝑅=𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛);(1.2) where 𝑙#2 is the subspace of 𝑙2. Using the operator 𝑅 we prove that each Toeplitz operator 𝑇𝑎 with radial symbols is unitary to the multication operator 𝛾𝑎,𝜇𝐼 acting on 𝑙#2. Next, we use the Berezin concept of Wick and anti-Wick symbols. It turns out that in our particular (radial symbols) case the Wick symbols of a Toeplitz operator give complete information about the operator, providing its spectral decomposition.

2. Pluriharmonic Bergman Space and Orthogonal Projection

We start this section with a decomposition of the space 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛). Consider a nonnegative measurable function 𝜇(𝑟),𝑟(0,1), such that mes{𝑟(0,1)𝜇(𝑟)>0}=1, and 𝔹𝑛||𝑆𝜇(|𝑧|)𝑑𝑣(𝑧)=2𝑛1||10𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟<,(2.1) where |𝑆2𝑛1|=2𝜋𝑛(1/2)Γ1(𝑛(1/2)) is the surface area of unit sphere 𝑆2𝑛1 and Γ(𝑧) is the Gamma function.

Introduce the weighted space 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)=𝑓𝑓2𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)=𝔹𝑛||||𝑓(𝑧)2𝜇(|𝑧|)𝑑𝑣(𝑧)<,(2.2) where 𝑑𝑣(𝑧) is the usual Lebesgue volume measure and 𝐿2(𝑆2𝑛1) is the space with the usual Lebesgue surface measure.

The space 𝐿2(𝑆2𝑛1) is the direct sum of mutually orthogonal spaces 𝑘, that is, 𝐿2𝑆2𝑛1=𝑘=0𝑘,(2.3) where 𝑘 denotes the space of spherical harmonics of order 𝑘. Meanwhile, each space 𝑘 is the direct sum (under the identification 𝑛=2𝑛) of the mutually orthogonal spaces 𝑝,𝑞 (see, e.g., [7]): 𝑘=𝑝+𝑞=𝑘𝑝,𝑞+𝐻𝑝,𝑞,𝑘+,(2.4) where 𝐻𝑝,𝑞, for each 𝑝,𝑞=0,1,, is the space of harmonic polynomials (their restrictions to the unit sphere) of complete order 𝑝 in the variable 𝑧 and complete order 𝑞 in the conjugate variable 𝑧=(𝑧1,,𝑧𝑛). Thus, we can get 𝐿2𝑆2𝑛1=𝑝,𝑞+𝐻𝑝,𝑞.(2.5)

The Hardy space 𝐻2(𝔹𝑛) in the unit ball 𝔹𝑛 is a closed subspace of 𝐿2(𝑆2𝑛1). Denote by 𝑃𝑆2𝑛1 the Szegö orthogonal projection of 𝐿2(𝑆2𝑛1) onto the Hardy space 𝐻2(𝔹𝑛). It is well known that 𝐻2(𝔹𝑛)=𝑝=0𝐻𝑝,0. The standard orthonormal base in 𝐻2(𝔹𝑛) has the form 𝑒𝛼(𝜔)=𝑑𝑛,𝛼𝜔𝛼,𝑑𝑛,𝛼=(𝑛1+|𝛼|)!||𝑆2𝑛1||(𝑛1)!𝛼!for|𝛼|=0,1,.(2.6)

Fix an orthonormal basis {𝑒𝛼,𝛽(𝜔)}𝛼,𝛽, 𝛼,𝛽𝑛+, in the space 𝐿2(𝑆2𝑛1) so that 𝑒𝛼,0(𝜔)𝑒𝛼(𝜔), 𝑒0,𝛼(𝜔)𝑒𝛼,0(𝜔)𝑒𝛼(𝑤), |𝛼|=0,1,.

Passing to the spherical coordinates in the unit ball we have 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)=𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝐿2𝑆2𝑛1.(2.7) For any function 𝑓(𝑧)𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) have the decomposition 𝑓(𝑧)=||𝛽|||𝛼|+=0𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝑟)𝑒𝛼,𝛽(𝑧𝜔),𝑟=|𝑧|,𝜔=𝑟,(2.8) with the coefficients 𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝑟) satisfying the condition 𝑓2𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)=||𝛽|||𝛼|+=010||𝑐𝛼,𝛽(||𝑟)2𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟<.(2.9)

According to the decomposition (2.7), (2.8) together with Parseval’s equality, we can define the unitary operator 𝑈1𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝐿2𝑆2𝑛1𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝑙2𝑙2𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1,𝑑𝑟(2.10)

by the rule 𝑈1𝑓(𝑧){𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝑟)}, and 𝑓2𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)=𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝑟)2𝑙2𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟=|𝛼|+|𝛽|=0𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝑟)2𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟.(2.11)

Let 𝑓(𝑧) be a pluriharmonic in the unit ball 𝔹𝑛 and write 𝑓=𝑔+, where the functions 𝑔, are holomorphic in 𝔹𝑛. Suppose 𝑔(𝑧)=|𝛼|=0𝑐𝛼z𝛼,(𝑧)=|𝛽|=0𝑐𝛽𝑧𝛽(2.12)

are their power series representations of 𝑔 and , respectively. We have 𝑓(𝑧)=|𝛼|=0𝑐𝛼𝑧𝛼+|𝛽|=0𝑐𝛽𝑧𝛽=|𝛼|=0𝑐𝛼(𝑟)𝑒𝛼(𝜔)+|𝛽|=0𝑐𝛽(𝑟)𝑒𝛽(𝜔),(2.13) where 𝑐𝛼(𝑟)=𝑐𝛼𝑑1𝑛,𝛼𝑟|𝛼|, 𝑐𝛽(𝑟)=𝑐𝛽𝑑1𝑛,𝛽𝑟|𝛽|, 𝑟=|𝑧|, 𝜔=(𝑧/𝑟).

Let 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) be the pluriharmonic Bergman space in 𝔹𝑛 from 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛). Denote by 𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛 the pluriharmonic Bergman orthogonal projection of 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) onto the Bergman space 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛). From the above it follows that to characterize a function 𝑓(𝑧)𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) and considering its decomposition according to (2.13), one can restrict to the function having the representation 𝑓(𝑧)=𝑔(𝑧)+(𝑧)=|𝛼|=0𝑐𝛼,0(𝑟)𝑒𝛼,0(𝜔)+|𝛽|=0𝑐0,𝛽(𝑟)𝑒0,𝛽(𝜔).(2.14) Now let us take an arbitrary 𝑓(𝑧) from 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) in the form (2.14). It will satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations, that is, 𝜕𝜕𝑧𝑘1𝑔(𝑧)2𝜕𝜕𝑥𝑘𝜕+𝑖𝜕𝑦𝑘𝑔(𝑧)=0,𝑘=1,,𝑛,𝑧𝔹𝑛,𝜕𝜕𝑧𝑘1(𝑧)2𝜕𝜕𝑥𝑘𝜕𝑖𝜕𝑦𝑘(𝑧)=0,𝑘=1,,𝑛,𝑧𝔹𝑛.(2.15)

Applying 𝜕/𝜕𝑧𝑘, 𝜕/𝜕𝑧𝑘 to 𝑔 and , respectively, we have𝜕𝜕𝑧𝑘|𝛼|=0𝑐𝛼,0(𝑟)𝑒𝛼,0(𝑧𝜔)=𝑘2𝑟|𝛼|=0𝑑𝑐𝑑𝑟𝛼,0(𝑟)|𝛼|𝑟𝑐𝛼,0(𝑒𝑟)𝛼,0(𝜕𝜔),𝜕𝑧𝑘||𝛽||=0𝑐0,𝛽(𝑟)𝑒0,𝛽(𝜔)=𝑧𝑘2𝑟||𝛽||=0𝑑𝑐𝑑𝑟0,𝛽||𝛽||(𝑟)𝑟𝑐0,𝛽𝑒(𝑟)0,𝛽(𝜔),(2.16)

where 𝑘=0,,𝑛, and we come to the infinite system of ordinary linear differential equations 𝑑𝑐𝑑𝑟𝛼,0(𝑟)|𝛼|𝑟𝑐𝛼,0𝑑(𝑟)=0,|𝛼|=0,1,𝑐𝑑𝑟0,𝛽(||𝛽||𝑟)𝑟𝑐0,𝛽(||𝛽||𝑟)=0,=0,1,.(2.17)

Their general solution has the form 𝑐𝛼,0=𝑏𝛼𝑟|𝛼|=𝜆(𝑛,|𝛼|)𝑐𝛼,0𝑟|𝛼|, 𝑐0,𝛽=𝑏𝛽𝑟|𝛽|=𝜆(𝑛,|𝛽|)𝑐0,𝛽𝑟|𝛽|, with 𝜆(𝑛,𝑚)=(10𝑡2𝑚+2𝑛1𝜇(𝑡)𝑑𝑡)1/2. Hence, for any 𝑓(𝑧)𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) we have 𝑓(𝑧)=|𝛼|=0𝑐𝛼,0𝜆(𝑛,|𝛼|)𝑟|𝛼|𝑒𝛼,0+||𝛽||=0𝑐0,𝛽𝜆||𝛽||𝑟𝑛,|𝛽|𝑒0,𝛽.(2.18)

And, it is easy to verify 𝑓2𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)=|𝛼|=0|𝑐𝛼,0|2+|𝛽|=0|𝑐0,𝛽|2. Thus the image 𝑏21,𝜇(𝔹𝑛)=𝑈1(𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)) is characterized as the closed subspace of 𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝑙2=𝑙2𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟(2.19) which consists of all sequences {𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝑟)} of the form 𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝑟)=𝜆(𝑛,|𝛼|)𝑐𝛼,0𝑟|𝛼|,||𝛽||𝜆||𝛽||𝑐=0𝑛,0,𝛽𝑟|𝛽|||𝛽||,|𝛼|=00,|𝛼|0,0.(2.20)

For each 𝑚+ introduce the function 𝜑𝑚(𝜌)=𝜆(𝑛,𝑚)1/𝑛𝜌0𝑟2𝑚+2𝑛1𝜇(𝑟)𝑑𝑟1/2𝑛[],𝜌0,1.(2.21) Obviously, there exists the inverse function for the function 𝜑𝑚(𝜌) on [0,1], which we will denote by 𝜙𝑚(𝑟). Introduce the operator 𝑢𝑚𝑓(𝑟)=2𝑛𝜆𝜙(𝑛,𝑚)𝑚𝑚𝜙(𝑟)𝑓𝑚(𝑟).(2.22)

By Proposition 2.1 in [5], the operator 𝑢𝑚 maps unitary 𝐿2((0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1) onto 𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟) in such a way that 𝑢𝑚(𝜆(𝑛,𝑚)𝑟𝑚)=2𝑛,𝑚+.(2.23)

Intoduce the unitary operator 𝑈2𝑙2𝐿2(0,1),𝜇(𝑟)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝑙2𝐿2(0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟,(2.24) where 𝑈2𝑐𝛼,𝛽𝑢(𝑟)|𝛼|+|𝛽|𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝑟).(2.25)

By (2.23), we can get the space 𝑏22,𝜇=𝑈2(𝑏21,𝜇) coincides with the space of all sequences {𝑘𝛼,𝛽} for which𝑘𝛼,𝛽=2𝑛𝑐𝛼,0,||𝛽||=02𝑛𝑐0,𝛽||𝛽||,|𝛼|=00,|𝛼|0,0.(2.26)

Let 𝑙0(𝑟)=2𝑛. We have 𝑙0(𝑟)𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟) and 𝑙0𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1)=1. Denote by 𝐿0 the one-dimensional subspace of 𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟) generated by 𝑙0(𝑟). The orthogonal projection 𝑃0 of 𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟) onto 𝐿0 has the form 𝑃0𝑓(𝑟)=𝑓,𝑙0𝑙0=2𝑛10𝑓(𝜌)2𝑛𝜌2𝑛1𝑑𝜌.(2.27) Let 𝑑𝛼,𝛽=𝑘𝛼,𝛽(2𝑛)1. Denote by 𝑙#2 the subspace of 𝑙2 consisting of all sequences {𝑑𝛼,𝛽}. And let 𝑝# be the orthogonal projections of 𝑙2 onto 𝑙#2, then 𝑝#=𝜒+(𝛼,𝛽)𝐼, where 𝜒+(𝛼,𝛽)=0, if |𝛼𝛽|>0 and 𝜒+(𝛼,𝛽)=1, if |𝛼𝛽|=0.

Observe that 𝑏22,𝜇=𝐿0𝑙#2 and the orthogonal projection 𝐵2 of 𝑙2𝐿2(0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝐿2(0,1)𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝑙2(2.28)

onto 𝑏22,𝜇 has the form 𝐵2=𝑃0𝑝#. This leads to the following theorem.

Theorem 2.1. The unitary operator 𝑈=𝑈1𝑈2 gives an isometric isomorphism of the space 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) onto 𝑙2(𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟))𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟)𝑙2 such that
(1) the pluriharmonic Bergman space 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) is mapped onto 𝐿0𝑙#2, 𝑈𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝐿0𝑙#2,(2.29) where 𝐿0 is the one-dimensional subspace of 𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟), generated by the function 𝑙0(𝑟)=2𝑛;
(2) the pluriharmonic Bergman projection 𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛 is unitary equivalent to 𝑈𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛𝑈1=𝑃0𝑝#,(2.30) where 𝑃0 is the one-dimensional projection (2.27) of 𝐿2((0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟) onto 𝐿0.

Introduce the operator 𝑅0𝑙#2𝐿2(0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝑙2(2.31)

by the rule 𝑅0𝑑𝛼,𝛽𝑙0𝑑(𝑟)𝛼,𝛽.(2.32)

The mapping 𝑅0 is an isometric embedding, and the image of 𝑅0 coincides with the space 𝑏22,𝜇. The adjoint operator 𝑅0𝐿2(0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝑙2𝑙#2(2.33)

is given by 𝑅0𝑐𝛼,𝛽𝜒(𝑟)+(𝛼,𝛽)10𝑐𝛼,𝛽(𝜌)2𝑛𝜌2𝑛1,𝑅𝑑𝜌0𝑅0=𝐼𝑙#2𝑙#2,𝑅0𝑅0=𝐵2𝐿2(0,1),𝑟2𝑛1𝑑𝑟𝑙2𝑏22,𝜇.(2.34)

Meanwhile the operator 𝑅=𝑅0𝑈 maps the space 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) onto 𝑙#2, and its restriction 𝑅𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝑙#2(2.35)

is an isometric isomorphism. The adjoint operator 𝑅=𝑈𝑅0𝑙#2𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)(2.36)

is isometric isomorphism of 𝑙#2 onto the subspace 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) of 𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛).

Remark 2.2. We have 𝑅𝑅=𝐼𝑙#2𝑙#2,𝑅𝑅=𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛).(2.37)

Theorem 2.3. The isometric isomorphism 𝑅=𝑈𝑅0𝑙#2𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) is given by 𝑅𝑑𝛼,𝛽|𝛼|=0𝜆(𝑛,|𝛼|)𝑐𝛼,0𝑟|𝛼|𝑒𝛼,0(𝜔)+||𝛽||=1𝜆||𝛽||𝑐𝑛,0,𝛽𝑟|𝛽|𝑒0,𝛽(𝜔).(2.38)

Proof. Let {𝑑𝛼,𝛽}𝑙#2, we can get 𝑅=𝑈1𝑈2𝑅0𝑑𝛼,𝛽𝑈1𝑈22𝑛𝑑𝛼,𝛽=𝑈1𝜆(𝑛,|𝛼|)𝑐𝛼,0𝑟|𝛼|+𝜆||𝛽||𝑐𝑛,0,𝛽𝑟|𝛽|=|𝛼|=0𝜆(𝑛,|𝛼|)𝑐𝛼,0𝑟|𝛼|𝑒𝛼,0(𝜔)+||𝛽||=1𝜆||𝛽||𝑐𝑛,0,𝛽𝑟|𝛽|𝑒0,𝛽(𝜔).(2.39)

Corollary 2.4. The inverse isomorphism 𝑅𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝑙#2 is given by 𝑑𝑅𝜑(𝑧)𝛼,𝛽=(2𝑛)1𝑘𝛼,𝛽,(2.40) where 𝑐𝛼,0=𝜑,̃𝑒𝜇𝛼,0=𝜆(𝑛,|𝛼|)𝑑𝑛,𝛼𝔹𝑛𝜑(𝑧)𝑧𝛼𝑑𝑣(𝑧), 𝑐0,𝛽=𝜑,̃𝑒𝜇0,𝛽=𝜆(𝑛,|𝛽|)𝑑𝑛,𝛽𝔹𝑛𝜑(𝑧)𝑧𝛽𝑑𝑣(𝑧), |𝛼|,|𝛽|+, and {̃𝑒𝜇𝛼,0}|𝛼|=0{̃𝑒𝜇0,𝛽}|𝛽|=1 is the standard basis for the pluriharmonic Bergman space 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛); that is, ̃𝑒𝜇𝛼,0=𝑑𝑛,𝛼𝜆(𝑛,|𝛼|)𝑧𝛼,̃𝑒𝜇0,𝛽=𝑑𝑛,𝛽𝜆||𝛽||𝑛,𝑧𝛽.(2.41)

3. Toeplitz Operator with Radial Symbols on 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)

In this section we will study the Toeplitz operators 𝑇𝑎=𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛𝑎𝜑𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛)𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛𝑎𝜑𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) with radial symbols 𝑎=𝑎(𝑟).

Theorem 3.1. Let 𝑎(𝑟) be a measurable function on the segment [0,1]. Then the Toeplitz operator 𝑇𝑎 acting on 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) is unitary equivalent to the multication operator 𝛾𝑎,𝜇𝐼 acting on 𝑙#2. The sequence 𝛾𝑎,𝜇={𝜒+(𝛼,𝛽)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|+|𝛽|)} is given by 𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)=𝜆2(𝑛,𝑚)10𝑎(𝑟)𝑟2𝑚+2𝑛1𝜇(𝑟)𝑑𝑟,𝑚𝑍+.(3.1)

Proof. By means of Remark 2.2, the operator 𝑇𝑎 is unitary equivalent to the operator 𝑅𝑇𝑎𝑅=𝑅𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛𝑎𝑄𝜇𝔹𝑛𝑅𝑅=𝑅𝑅𝑎𝑅𝑅𝑅=𝑅𝑅𝑅𝑎𝑅𝑅𝑅=𝑅𝑎𝑅=𝑅0𝑈2𝑈1𝑎(𝑟)𝑈11𝑈21𝑅0=𝑅0𝑈2𝑎(𝑟)𝑈21𝑅0=𝑅0𝜒+𝜙(𝛼,𝛽)𝑎|𝛼|+|𝛽|𝑅(𝑟)0.(3.2) Further, let {𝑑𝛼,𝛽} be a sequence from 𝑙#2. By (2.21), we have 𝑅0𝜒+𝜙(𝛼,𝛽)𝑎|𝛼|+|𝛽|𝑅(𝑟)0𝑑𝛼,𝛽=𝑅02𝑛𝑑𝛼,𝛽𝜒+𝜙(𝛼,𝛽)𝑎|𝛼|+|𝛽|=(𝑟)10𝜒+𝜙(𝛼,𝛽)𝑎|𝛼|+|𝛽|(𝑟)2𝑛𝑑𝛼,𝛽𝑟2𝑛1=𝜒𝑑𝑟+(𝛼,𝛽)𝑑𝛼,𝛽10𝑎(𝑦)𝑑𝜑||𝛽||2𝑛|𝛼|+=𝜒(𝑦)+(𝛼,𝛽)𝑑𝛼,𝛽𝜆2||𝛽||𝑛,|𝛼|+10𝑎(𝑦)𝑦2(|𝛼|+|𝛽|)+2𝑛1=𝜒𝜇(𝑦)𝑑𝑦+(𝛼,𝛽)𝑑𝛼,𝛽𝛾𝑎,𝜇||𝛽||.|𝛼|+(3.3)

Corollary 3.2. (i) The Toeplitz operator 𝑇𝑎 with measurable radial symbol 𝑎(𝑟) is bounded on 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) if and only if sup𝑚+|𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)|<. Moreover, 𝑇𝑎=sup𝑚+||𝛾𝑎,𝜇(||𝑚).(3.4)
(ii) The Toeplitz operator 𝑇𝑎 is compact if and only if lim𝑚𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)=0. The spectrum of the bounded operator 𝑇𝑎 is given by sp𝑇𝑎=𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)𝑚+,(3.5) and its essential spectrum ess-sp𝑇𝑎 coincides with the set of all limits points of the sequence {𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)}𝑚+.

Let 𝐻 be a Hilbert space and {𝜑𝑔}𝑔𝐺 a subset of elements of 𝐻 parameterized by elements 𝑔 of some set 𝐺 with measure 𝑑𝜇.

Then {𝜑𝑔}𝑔𝐺 is called a system of coherent states, if for all 𝜑𝐻, 𝜑2=(𝜑,𝜑)=𝐺||(𝜑,𝜑𝑔)||2𝑑𝜇,(3.6)

or equivalently, if for all 𝜑1,𝜑2𝐻, 𝜑1,𝜑2=𝐺𝜑1,𝜑𝑔𝜑2,𝜑𝑔𝑑𝜇.(3.7)

We define the isomorphic inclusion 𝑉𝐻𝐿2(𝐺) by the rule 𝑉𝜑𝐻𝑓=𝑓(𝑔)=𝜑,𝜑𝑔𝐿2(𝐺).(3.8)

By (3.7) we have (𝜑1,𝜑2)=𝑓1,𝑓2, where (,) and , are the scalar products on 𝐻 and 𝐿2(𝐺), respectively, and 𝑓(𝑔)=𝑓𝑔(). Let 𝐻2(𝐺)=𝑉(𝐻)𝐿2(𝐺). A function 𝑓𝐿2(𝐺) is an element of 𝐻2(𝐺) if and only if for all 𝐺, 𝑓,𝑓=𝑓(). The operator (𝑃𝑓)(𝑔)=𝐺(𝜑𝑡,𝜑𝑔)𝑓(𝑡)𝑑𝜇(𝑡) is the orthogonal projection of 𝐿2(𝐺) onto 𝐻2(𝐺).

The function 𝑎(𝑔), 𝑔𝐺, is called the anti-Wick (or contravariant) symbol of an operator 𝑇𝐻𝐻 if 𝑉𝑇𝑉1𝐻2(𝐺)=𝑃𝑎(𝑔)𝑃=𝑃𝑎(𝑔)𝐼𝐻2(𝐺)𝐻2(𝐺)𝐻2(G),(3.9)

or, in other terminology, the operator 𝑉𝐴𝑉1𝐻2(𝐺) is the Toeplitz operator 𝑇𝑎(𝑔)=𝑃𝑎(𝑔)𝐼𝐻2(𝐺)𝐻2(𝐺)𝐻2(𝐺)(3.10) with the symbols 𝑎(𝑔).

Given an operator 𝑇𝐻𝐻, introduce the (Wick) function ̃𝑎(𝑔,)=𝑇𝜑,𝜑𝑔𝜑,𝜑𝑔,𝑔,𝐺.(3.11)

If the operator 𝑇 has an anti-Wick symbols, that is, 𝑉𝑇𝑉1=𝑇𝑎(𝑔) for some function 𝑎=𝑎(𝑔), then ̃𝑎(𝑔,)=𝑇𝑎𝑓,𝑓𝑔𝑓,𝑓𝑔,𝑔,𝐺.(3.12)

And the operator 𝑇𝑎 admits the following representation in terms of its Wick function: 𝑇𝑎𝑓(𝑔)=𝐺𝑎(𝑡)𝑓(𝑡)𝑓𝑡(𝑔)𝑑𝜇(𝑡)=𝐺𝑎(𝑡)𝑓𝑡(𝑔)𝑑𝜇(𝑡)𝐺𝑓()𝑓(=𝑡)𝑑𝜇()𝐺𝑓()𝑑𝜇()𝐺𝑎(𝑡)𝑓𝑡(𝑔)𝑓=(𝑡)𝑑𝜇(𝑡)𝐺𝑓𝑓()𝑑𝜇()(𝑔)𝑓,𝑓𝑔𝐺𝑎(𝑡)𝑓(𝑡)𝑓𝑔=(𝑡)𝑑𝜇(𝑡)𝐺̃𝑎(𝑔,)𝑓()𝑓(𝑔)𝑑𝜇().(3.13) Interchanging the integrals above, we understand them in a weak sense.

The restriction of the function ̃𝑎(𝑔,) onto the diagonal ̃𝑎(𝑔)=̃𝑎(𝑔,𝑔)=𝑇𝜑𝑔,𝜑𝑔𝜑𝑔,𝜑𝑔,𝑔𝐺,(3.14)

is called the Wick (or covariant or Berezin) symbols of the operator 𝑇𝐻𝐻.

The Wick and anti-Wick symbols of an operator 𝑇𝐻𝐻 are connected by the Berezin transform ̃𝑎(𝑔)=̃𝑎(𝑔,𝑔)=𝑇𝜑𝑔,𝜑𝑔𝜑𝑔,𝜑𝑔=𝑇𝑎𝑓𝑔,𝑓𝑔𝑓𝑔,𝑓𝑔=𝐺||𝑓𝑎(𝑡)𝑔||(𝑡)2𝑑𝜇(𝑡)𝐺||𝑓𝑔||(𝑡)2𝑑𝜇(𝑡).(3.15)

The pluriharmonic Bergman reproducing kernel in the space 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) has the form 𝑅𝑧(𝑤)=𝐾𝑧(𝑤)+𝐾𝑧(𝑤)𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)=|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)+|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0),(3.16) where 𝛼=𝟘=(0,,0). For 𝑓𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛), the reproducing property 𝑄𝑓(𝑧)=𝜇𝔹𝑛𝑓(𝑧)=𝔹𝑛𝑓(𝑤)𝑅𝑧(𝑤)𝜇(|𝑤|)𝑑𝑣(𝑤)(3.17)

shows that the system of functions 𝑅𝑧(𝑤), 𝑤𝔹𝑛, forms a system of coherent states in the space 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛). In our context, we have 𝐺=𝔹𝑛, 𝑑𝜇=𝜇(|𝑧|)𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑦, 𝐻=𝐻2(𝐺)=𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛), 𝐿2(𝐺)=𝐿2𝜇(𝔹𝑛), 𝜑𝑔=𝑓𝑔=𝑅𝑔, where 𝑔=𝑧𝔹𝑛.

Lemma 3.3. Let 𝑇𝑎 be the Toeplitz operator with a radial symbol 𝑎=𝑎(𝑟). Then the corresponding Wick function (3.11) has the form ̃𝑎(𝑧,𝑤)=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)+|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(0).(3.18)

Proof. By (3.11) and (3.16), we have ̃𝑎(𝑧,𝑤)=𝑇𝑎𝑅𝑤,𝑅𝑧𝑅𝑤,𝑅𝑧=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝑎𝑅𝑤,𝑅𝑧=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝑎𝐾𝑤,𝐾𝑧𝑎+𝐾𝑤,𝐾𝑧𝑑4𝑛,𝟘𝜆4(𝑛,0)𝑎,1=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)𝑎̃𝑒𝜇𝛼,̃𝑒𝜇𝛼+|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝑎̃𝑒𝜇𝛼,̃𝑒𝜇𝛼𝑑4𝑛,𝟘𝜆4(𝑛,0)𝑎,1=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)+|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇.(0)(3.19)

Denote by 𝐿𝜇𝛼 the one-dimensional subspace of 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) generated by the base element ̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧), |𝛼|+. Then the one-dimensional projection 𝑃𝜇𝛼 of 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) onto 𝐿𝜇𝛼 has obviously the form 𝑃𝜇𝛼𝑓=𝑓,̃𝑒𝜇𝛼̃𝑒𝜇𝛼=̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)𝔹𝑛𝑓(𝑤)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝜇(|𝑤|)𝑑𝑣(𝑤).(3.20) In the similar method, 𝐿𝜇𝛼 denote the one-dimensional subspace of 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) generated by the base element ̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧). Let 𝑃𝜇𝛼 be the projection from 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) onto 𝐿𝜇𝛼, and the projection can be rewritten as 𝑃𝜇𝛼𝑓(𝑧)=𝑓,̃𝑒𝜇𝛼̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)=̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)𝔹𝑛𝑓(𝑤)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝜇(|𝑤|)𝑑𝑣(𝑤).(3.21)

Theorem 3.4. Let 𝑇𝑎 be a bounded Toeplitz operator having radial symbol 𝑎(𝑟). Then one can get the spectral decomposition of the operator 𝑇𝑎: 𝑇𝑎=|𝛼|=0𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝑃𝜇𝛼+|𝛼|=0𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝑃𝜇𝛼𝛾𝑎,𝜇(0)𝑃𝜇𝟘.(3.22)

Proof. According to (3.13), (3.20), (3.21), and Lemma 3.3, we get 𝑇𝑎𝑓(𝑧)=𝔹𝑛̃𝑎(𝑧,𝑤)𝑓(𝑤)𝑅𝑤(=𝑧)𝜇(|𝑤|)𝑑𝑣(𝑤).𝔹𝑛|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)+|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇=(0)𝑓(𝑤)𝜇(|𝑤|)𝑑𝑣(𝑤).|𝛼|=0𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝑃𝜇𝛼𝑓(𝑧)+|𝛼|=0𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝑃𝜇𝛼𝑓(𝑧)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(0)𝑃𝜇𝟘𝑓(𝑧).(3.23)

The value 𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|) depends only on |𝛼|. Collecting the terms with the same |𝛼| and using the formula 𝑧𝑤𝑚=|𝛼|=𝑚𝑚!𝑧𝛼!𝛼𝑤𝛼(3.24)

we obtain ̃𝑎(𝑧,𝑤)=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝑚=0𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)𝑧𝑤𝑚+𝑤𝑧𝑚𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(0),(3.25) where (𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)=(𝑚+𝑛1)!/|𝑆2𝑛1|𝑚!(𝑛1)!)𝜆2(𝑛,𝑚). The orthogonal projection of 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) onto the subspace generated by all element ̃𝑒𝜇𝛼 with |𝛼|=𝑚, 𝑚+ can be written as 𝑃𝜇(𝑚)𝑓(𝑧)=𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝔹𝑛𝑓(𝑤)𝑧𝑤𝑚𝜇(|𝑤|)𝑑𝑣(𝑤);(3.26)

similarly, 𝑃𝜇(𝑚)𝑓(𝑧)=𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝔹𝑛𝑓(𝑤)𝑤𝑧𝑚𝜇(|𝑤|)𝑑𝑣(𝑤)(3.27)

denotes the orthogonal projection from 𝑏2𝜇(𝔹𝑛) onto the subspace generated by all elements ̃𝑒𝜇𝛼 with |𝛼|=𝑚. Therefore, (3.22) has the form 𝑇𝑎=𝑚=0𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)𝑃𝜇(𝑚)+𝑚=0𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)𝑃𝜇(𝑚)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(0)𝑃𝜇𝟘.(3.28)

In view of (3.25), we can get the following useful corollary.

Corollary 3.5. Let 𝑇𝑎 be a bounded Toeplitz operator having radial symbol 𝑎(𝑟). Then the Wick symbol of the operator 𝑇𝑎 is radial as well and is given by the formula ̃𝑎(𝑧)=̃𝑎(𝑟)=𝑅𝑧12(𝑧)𝑚=0𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)𝑟2𝑚𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(0),(3.29) where 𝑅𝑧(𝑧)=2𝑚=0𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝑟2𝑚𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0).

In terms of Wick function the composition formula for Toeplitz operators is quite transparent.

Corollary 3.6. Let 𝑇𝑎, 𝑇𝑏 be the Toeplitz operators with the Wick function ̃𝑎(𝑧,𝑤)=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝑚=0𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)𝑧𝑤𝑚+𝑤𝑧𝑚𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇,̃(0)𝑏(𝑧,𝑤)=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝑚=0𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝛾𝑏,𝜇(𝑚)𝑧𝑤𝑚+𝑤𝑧𝑚𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑏,𝜇,(0)(3.30) respectively. Then the Wick function ̃𝑐(𝑧,𝑤) of the composition 𝑇=𝑇𝑎𝑇𝑏 is given by ̃𝑐(𝑧,𝑤)=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝑚=0𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝛾𝑏,𝜇(𝑚)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)𝑧𝑤𝑚+𝑤𝑧𝑚𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑏,𝜇(0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(0).(3.31)

According to Lemma 3.3 and (3.25), we have ̃𝑐(𝑧,𝑤)=𝑇𝑎𝑇𝑏𝑅𝑤,𝑅𝑧𝑅𝑤,𝑅𝑧=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝑇𝑏𝑅𝑤,𝑎𝑅𝑧=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝔹𝑛𝑇𝑏𝑅𝑤(𝑢)𝑅𝑧(𝑢)𝑎(|𝑢|)𝜇(|𝑢|)𝑑𝑣(𝑢)=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝔹𝑛𝑇𝑏𝑅𝑤,𝑅𝑢𝑅𝑧(𝑢)𝑎(|𝑢|)𝜇(|𝑢|)𝑑𝑣(𝑢)=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)𝛾𝑏,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)+|𝛼|=0̃𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑧)𝑒𝜇𝛼(𝑤)𝛾𝑏,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(|𝛼|)𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑏,𝜇(0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(0)=𝑅𝑤1(𝑧)𝑚=0𝑙(𝑚,𝑛)𝛾𝑏,𝜇(𝑚)𝛾𝑎,𝜇(𝑚)𝑧𝑤𝑚+𝑤𝑧𝑚𝑑2𝑛,𝟘𝜆2(𝑛,0)𝛾𝑏,𝜇(0)𝛾𝑎,𝜇.(0)(3.32)
