Beurling-Malliavin theory for Toeplitz kernels

  • Published:
Inventiones mathematicae Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider the family of Toeplitz operators \(T_{J\bar{S}^{a}}\) acting in the Hardy space H 2 in the upper halfplane; J and S are given meromorphic inner functions, and a is a real parameter. In the case where the argument of S has a power law type behavior on the real line, we compute the critical value

$$c(J,S)=\inf\left\{a:\mathop{\mathrm{ker}}T_{J\bar{S}^{a}}\ne0\right\}.$$

The formula for c(J,S) generalizes the Beurling-Malliavin theorem on the radius of completeness for a system of exponentials.
