A comparative study for the spectral properties of Toeplitz and Hankel operators

Abstract

In this introductory review, we study Hankel and Toeplitz operators considering them as acting on certain spaces of analytic functions, namely Hardy spaces and compare their spectral properties such as their compactness criteria. In contrast to Toeplitz operators, the symbol of a Hankel operator is not uniquely determined by the operator. We also connect Toeplitz operators with Fredholm operators and give some of the most beautiful properties of Toeplitz operators such as the essential spectrum of Toeplitz operator with continuous symbol and the index of Toeplitz operator introducing Fredholm operators firstly.
