Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the connection between compactness of operators on the Bergman space and the boundary behaviour of the corresponding Berezin transform. We prove that for a class of operators that we call radial operators, an oscillation criterion and diagonal are sufficient conditions under which the compactness of an operator is equivalent to the vanishing of the Berezin transform on the unit sphere. We further study a special class of radial operators, i.e., Toeplitz operators with a radial L 1(B n ) symbol.
