This space has a structure of a Hilbert space with reproducing kernel. The purpose of this article is to study Toeplitz operators with nonnegative radial symbols, defined on this space.

1. Introduction and preliminaries The theory of Toeplitz operators in Bergman spaces of holomorphic functions has played an important role in operator theory and complex analysis for a number of years. Natural questions such as the characterization of all the symbols defining bounded or compact Toeplitz operators have been answered in different settings, not only for Toeplitz operators on Bergman spaces of holomorphic functions but also on spaces of harmonic and parabolic functions with reproducing kernels (see the monograph [17] and [2,8,14]). The purpose of this article is to study Toeplitz operators defined on the space of all the Herglotz wave functions in R2 . A Herglotz wave function in Rn is a solution u of the Helmholtz equation

u + u = 0

(1)

in Rn , that is represented as the Fourier transform in Rn of a measure φ dλ, where φ ∈ L 2 ( S n−1 ) and λ is the Lebesgue measure in S n−1 . Hence every Herglotz wave function can be written as

 u (x) =

e ix·ω φ(ω) dλ(ω).

Several characterizations of Herglotz wave functions have been given (see [13,11,12]). For instance a necessary and sufficient condition for an entire function u to be a Herglotz wave function is that

We will denote by W 2 the space of all Herglotz functions in Rn . Besides their intrinsic relevance to harmonic analysis, Herglotz wave functions play an important role in obstacle and nonhomogeneous media acoustic scattering, as the existence of certain Herglotz wave functions determines if the set of far-field-patterns (or scattering amplitudes) is dense in L 2 ( S n−1 ) (see [9]) and in scattering of elastic waves (see [10]). We will call a function u an entire function if it is a solution of the Helmholtz equation in Rn . The space W 2 with the norm given by (3) is a Hilbert space, and the map defined by (2) called extension operator, gives an isomorphism from L 2 ( S n−1 ) onto W 2 . For dimension n = 2, Alvarez, Folch-Gabayet and Pérez-Esteva proved in [1], that the extension operator

φ →  φ dθ is an isomorphism from L 2 ( S 1 ) onto the space of entire solutions u of the Helmholtz equation which satisfy

u  =

     u (x)2 + ∂θ u (x)2 W (x) dx,

(4)

R2 ⊥

where W (x) = 1+|1x|3 , ∂θ u = ∇ · x|x| , x⊥ = (−x2 , x1 ) and dθ is the Lebesgue measure on S 1 (see also [4]). Hence, within the set of solutions to the Helmholtz equation, (3) is equivalent to (4) and this provided a new characterization of Herglotz wave functions in R2 , as the space of all entire functions u such that u  < ∞. In this paper we will follow the results in [1], hence we will always assume that W 2 is based in R2 . The elements of W 2 can be expanded as Neumann series

u (x) =

2 for x = re i θ and n∈Z |an | < ∞, where J n (r ) is the Bessel function of order n ∈ Z, see [11]. 2 The space W provided with the Hilbert space structure of L 2 ( S 1 ) can be regarded as a space with reproducing kernel as developed in [1,4]. Denote w (r ) = 1+r r 3 for r > 0, and let H2 be the space consisting of all distributions u ∈ D (R2 \{0}) such that

u , ∂∂u ∈ L 2 ( W ), where we write L 2 ( W ) for L 2 (R2 \{0}, W dx). θ

H2 provided with the norm  ·  in (4) is a Hilbert space and W 2 is precisely the space of elements u ∈ H2 which have an extension to R2 satisfying the Helmholtz equation. If u ∈ W 2 , then  u 2W 2 ∼ |an |2 ∼ φ2L 2 ( S 1 ) , n∈Z

(see [16]). In this paper we study Toeplitz operators in W 2 for radial nonnegative symbols is defined as in the classical holomorphic setting as

ρ . A Toeplitz operator denoted by T ρ ,

T ρ (u ) = P (ρ u ). In Section 1 we will study the continuity of Toeplitz operators. We will say that a function symbol if the identity

ρ defined on [0, ∞) is a Carleson

W 2 → Wρ2 is continuous, where Wρ2 is defined by replacing the measure W (x) dx by

ρ (x) W (x) dx in the definition of W 2 .

We will prove that for a nonnegative ρ ∈ L ([0, ∞), w (r )), the Toeplitz operator T ρ is bounded in W 2 if and only if a Carleson symbol and this is also equivalent to the boundedness of the sequence 1

As done in [5] for weights adapted to the Helmholtz equations, we aim to replace the Bessel functions in the above characterization since they hide the geometric meaning of a Carleson symbol. Our main result gives a sufficient condition in terms of integrability of the symbol with respect to a one-parameter family of rational weights which does not involve special functions. Theorem 1. Let ρ be nonnegative function in L 1 ([0, ∞), w (r ) dr ) such that for some μ0 > 0

(8)

Then ρ is a Carleson symbol and (8) holds replacing μ0 by any positive number. The above condition is close to be also necessary as stated in Remark 12 and in Proposition 13. In this proposition we proved that for every Carleson symbol ρ , the integrals in (8) are of order log μ, and this is a weak converse of Theorem 1. It is an open question if log μ can be removed in Proposition 13. To prove these theorems we will use sharp asymptotics of Bessel functions J μ , with control on the dependence in the parameters μ, contained in Lemmas 5, 6 and 7. In Section 3 we study the compactness of the Toeplitz operators. The compactness of T ρ is equivalent to the corresponding compactness of the inclusion W 2 → Wρ2 . We define an ad-hoc Berezin type transform to study the operators belonging to the Schatten classes s p . Using the Berezin transform, we characterize all the Hilbert–Schmidt and Trace Class Toeplitz operators. Throughout this paper ρ will be a nonnegative radial function (even when it is not specified). We will write A ∼ B for two nonnegative quantities A , B , if there exist positive constants C 1 , C 2 such that C 1 A  B  C 2 A . Also C will denote a positive constant that may change in each occurrence. 2. Toeplitz operators

ρ = ρ (|x|)  0 in Ω = R2 \{0} we define the Toeplitz operator   K (x, y )u ( y ) + ∂ϕ K (x, y )∂ϕ u ( y ) ρ | y | W ( y ) dy ,

Definition 2. Given a radial function



T ρ u (x) = P (ρ u )(x) = R2

for u in the linear span of {en }n∈Z .

Notice that every symbol on W

ρ ∈ L ∞ (0, ∞) defines a bounded Toeplitz operator on W 2 . Also T ρ is a multiplier acting

It follows immediately that T ρ is bounded if and only if {γn }n is bounded, that is, provided

Thus we have proved Proposition 4. The following statements are equivalent 1. ρ is a Carleson symbol, 2. T ρ is bounded. In the sequel we need precise estimates of Bessel functions. These estimates are summarized in the following lemmas. Lemma 5. For μ  1/2, there exists a universal constant A > 0 such that: 1. For r  μ + μ1/3 we have

The proof of part 1 of Lemma 5 can be obtained using the stationary phase method (see [3,6]). Parts 2 and 4 can be found in [16] and for part 3 see [7]. Lemma 6 is a consequence of Lemma 5 (see [3,6]). The following lemma can be easily proved. Lemma 7. For 1  r  μ − μ1/3 , let

φ(r ) = α (r ) − tanh α (r ), where α (r ) is given by the equation μ sech α (r ) = r. Then 1. φ is a decreasing function with φ (r ) = − > 0, and 2. φ(μ sech α0 ) := β0√

Proof of Theorem 1. We notice that condition (8) is independent of L 1 ([0, ∞), w (r ) dr ) satisfying (8). Define

H (r , μ) =

μ2 μ2/3 + r 1/2 |r − μ|1/2

μ0 provided ρ ∈ L 1 ([0, ∞), w (r ) dr ). Let ρ ∈

.

We have that H (r , μ) ∼  H (r , μ), where



 H (r , μ) =

r ∈ [μ − μ1/3 , μ + μ1/3 ],

μ4/3 , μ2 r 1/2 (r −μ)1/2

, r > μ + μ1/3 ,

uniformly for r  μ − μ1/3 and μ > μ0 . Notice that from (8) it follows that there exists

∞ sup μ>μ1 μ−μ1/3

μ1 > 0 such that

 H (r , μ)ρ (r ) w (r ) dr < ∞.

μ1 large enough, then for μ − μ1/3  r  μ with μ  μ1 , we have μ − μ1/3 ∼ r ∼ μ. Hence   H (r , μ) = μ4/3  C H r , μ − μ1/3

In fact, if we take

 H (r , μ)ρ (r ) w (r ) dr  C sup

3. Berezin transform and compact Toeplitz operators Recall that every Toeplitz operator T ρ is a diagonal operator {γn }n∈Z with γn as in (9) with respect to the basis {en } defined above. Then we have that T ρ is compact if and only if limn γn = 0. From the estimate (see [16]) n    J n (r )  r er 2 /4 , n!2n

we see that every function ρ ∈ L 1 ([0, ∞), w (r ) dr ) with bounded support defines a compact Toeplitz operator. However there are compact Toeplitz operators whose symbols have unbounded support as shown in Proposition 21. Proposition 16. Let ρ ∈ L 1 ([0, ∞), w (r ) dr ). Then T ρ is compact in W 2 if and only if the inclusion W 2 → Wρ2 is compact. Proof. For the sufficiency, we argue by contradiction. Suppose that W 2 → Wρ2 is compact. If T ρ is not compact there exists a subsequence {γnk }k∈Z such that |γnk |  ε for some ε > 0. Then the corresponding sequence {enk }k∈Z would have a convergent subsequence in Wρ2 . This is impossible since {enk }k∈Z is orthogonal in Wρ2 and enk W 2 = γn  ε . Hence we

have that {γn }n∈Z converges to 0. Now suppose that γn → 0. Let {un }n∈Z be a bounded sequence in W 2 . We easily see that

un =



ρ

an,k ek

k∈Z



with convergence in W 2 . Since supn∈N k∈Z |an,k |2 < ∞, we can find an increasing sequence {ln }n∈Z in N and a sequence  2 of complex numbers {ak }k∈Z such that limn→∞ aln,k = ak for every k ∈ Z. By Fatou’s lemma we have that k∈Z |ak | < ∞, and if we let u =



k ak ek

uln − u Wρ2 =



∈ W 2 , we have that

γk |an,k − ak |2

k∈Z

converges to 0, proving that the inclusion W 2 → Wρ2 is compact.

Notice that for every x ∈ R2 we have

In fact, if T ρ is a bounded operator, then by (29) we have that ( T ρ R x , R x ) is bounded in R2 implying (a). If T ρ is compact, we have that (γn ) converges to 0. Then given ε > 0, we have by (30) that

Now we study the Toeplitz operators belonging to the Schatten classes s p . Recall that a bounded operator T in a Hilbert √ space belongs to the Schatten class s p if Tr | T | p < ∞, where Tr A stands for the trace of the operator A and | T | = T ∗ T (see [15, p. 215]). Since T ρ is a diagonal operator with respect to the basis {en }n∈Z , we have that T ρ ∈ s p if and only if {γn } ∈  p (Z). In this case  T ρ s p = γn l p . For the trace class s1 and the Hilbert–Schmidt operators s2 we have the following theorems. Theorem 19. The following statements are equivalent: (1) T ρ ∈ s1 , (2) ρ ∈ L 1 ((1 + r 2 ) w (r ) dr ), (3) B ρ ∈ L 1 ((1 + r 2 ) w (r ) dr ), and the quantities  T ρ s1 , ρ  L 1 ((1+r 2 ) w (r ) dr ) ,  B ρ  L 1 ((1+r 2 ) w (r ) dr ) are comparable. Proof. By (30) we have that

 T ρ s p  C p ρ L p ((1+r 2 ) w (r ) dr ) .

Corollary 22. The Berezin transform B ρ is a bounded integral operator on L p ((1 + r 2 ) w (r ) dr ) for 1  p  ∞. Proof. Since M is symmetric, it is enough to prove the statement for p ∈ [1, 2]. For p = 1, this is part of Theorem 19. Now we prove it for p = 2. Let ρ ∈ L 2 ((1 + r 2 ) w (r ) dr ), then T ρ ∈ s2 by Proposition 21. If (γn ) is the sequence corresponding to T ρ , then by Proposition 21 and Theorem 20 we have that

It follows that

 B ρ L 2 ((1+r 2 ) w (r ) dr )  C p ρ L 2 ((1+r 2 ) w (r ) dr ) . Finally the result follows for p ∈ [1, 2] by interpolation.
