Truncated Toeplitz operators are compressions of multiplication operators on $L^2$ to model spaces (that is, subspaces of $H^2$ which are invariant with respect to the backward shift). For this class of operators we prove certain Szegö type theorems concerning the asymptotics of their compressions to an increasing chain of finite dimensional model spaces.
We consider iterated commutators of multiplication by a symbol function and tensor products of Hilbert or Riesz transforms. We establish mixed BMO classes of symbols that characterize boundedness of these objects in $L^p$. Little BMO and product BMO, big Hankel operators and iterated commutators are the base cases of our results. We use operator theoretical methods and existing profound results on iterated commutators for the Hilbert transform case, while the general result in several variables is obtained through the construction of a Journé operator that models the behavior of the multiple Hilbert transform. Upper estimates for commutators with paraproduct free Journé operators as well as weak factorisation results are proven.
In this paper we investigate operators unitarily equivalent to truncated Toeplitz operators. We show that this class contains certain sums of tensor products of truncated Toeplitz operators. In particular, it contains arbitrary inflations of truncated Toeplitz operators; this answers a question posed by Cima, Garcia, Ross, and Wogen.
Let $Γ$ be the unit circle, $A(Γ)$ the Wiener algebra of continuous functions whose series of Fourier coefficients are absolutely convergent, and $A^+$ the subalgebra of $A(Γ)$ of functions whose negative coefficients are zero. If $I$ is a closed ideal of $A^+$, we denote by $S_I$ the greatest common divisor of the inner factors of the nonzero elements of $I$ and by $I^A$ the closed ideal generated by $I$ in $A(Γ)$. It was conjectured that the equality $I^A= S_I H^\infty \cap I^A$ holds for every closed ideal $I$. We exhibit a large class $\scr F$ of perfect subsets of $Γ$, including the triadic Cantor set, such that the above equality holds whenever $h(I)\capΓ\in\scr F$. We also give counterexamples to the conjecture.
