Abstract
On the Dirichlet space of the unit disk, we consider operators that are finite sums of Toeplitz products, Hankel products or products of a Toeplitz operator and a Hankel operator. We characterize when such operators are equal to zero. Our results extend several known results using completely different arguments.
