The spectral picture of Bergman Toeplitz operators with harmonic polynomial symbols

Abstract

In this paper, it is shown that some new phenomenon related to the spectra of Toeplitz operators with bounded harmonic symbols on the Bergman space. On the one hand, we prove that the spectrum of the Toeplitz operator with symbol $\bar{z}+p$ is always connected for every polynomial $p$ with degree less than $3$. On the other hand, we show that for each integer $k$ greater than $2$, there exists a polynomial $p$ of degree $k$ such that the spectrum of the Toeplitz operator with symbol $\bar{z}+p$ has at least one isolated point but has at most finitely many isolated points. Then these results are applied to obtain a new class of non-hyponormal Toeplitz operators with bounded harmonic symbols on the Bergman space for which Weyl's theorem holds.
