If $T= \big[ T_1 ... T_n\big]$ is a row contraction with commuting entries, and the Arveson dilation is $\tilde T= \big[ \tilde T_1 ... \tilde T_n\big]$, then any operator $X$ commuting with each $T_i$ dilates to an operator $Z$ of the same norm which commutes with each $\tilde T_i$.
For any function $f$ in $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$, let $T_f$ denote the corresponding Toeplitz operator the Bergman space $A^2(\mathbb{D})$. A recent result of D. Luecking shows that if $T_f$ has finite rank then $f$ must be the zero function. Using a refined version of this result, we show that if all except possibly one of the functions $f_1,..., f_{m}$ are radial and $T_{f_1}... T_{f_m}$ has finite rank, then one of these functions must be zero.
For $α>-1$, let $A^2_α$ be the corresponding weighted Bergman space of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$. For a bounded measurable function $f$, let $T_f$ be the Toeplitz operator with symbol $f$ on $A^2_α$. This paper describes all the functions $f$ for which $T_f$ commutes with a given $T_g$, where $g(z)=z_{1}^{L_1}... z_{n}^{L_n}$ for strictly positive integers $L_1,..., L_n$, or $g(z)=|z_1|^{s_1}... |z_n|^{s_n}h(|z|)$ for non-negative real numbers $s_1,..., s_n$ and a bounded measurable function $h$ on $[0,1)$.
For any bounded measurable function $f$ on the unit ball $B_n$, let $T_f$ be the Toeplitz operator with symbol $f$ acting on the Bergman space $A^2(B_n)$. The Zero-Product Problem asks: if $f_1,..., f_N$ are bounded measurable functions such that $T_{f_1}... T_{f_N}=0$, does it follow that one of the functions must be zero almost everywhere? This paper give the affirmative answer to this question when all except possibly one of the symbols are radial functions. The answer in the general case remains unknown.
Let $\mathfrak{T}$ denote the full Toeplitz algebra on the Bergman space of the unit ball $\mathbb{B}_n.$ For each subset $G$ of $L^{\infty},$ let $\mathfrak{CI}(G)$ denote the closed two-sided ideal of $\mathfrak{T}$ generated by all $T_fT_g-T_gT_f$ with $f,g\in G.$ It is known that $\mathfrak{CI}(C(\bar{\mathbb{B}}_n))=\mathcal{K}$ - the ideal of compact operators and $\mathfrak{CI}(C(\mathbb{B}_n))=\mathfrak{T}.$ Despite these ``extremal cases'', $\mathfrak{T}$ does contain other non-trivial ideals. This paper gives a construction of a class of subsets $G$ of $L^{\infty}$ so that $\mathcal{K}\subsetneq\mathfrak{CI}(G)\subsetneq\mathfrak{T}.$
