Multichannel scattering theory for Toeplitz operators with piecewise continuous symbols

Alexander V. Sobolev and Dmitri Yafaev

Vol. 15 (2022), No. 6, 1457–1486
Abstract

Self-adjoint Toeplitz operators have purely absolutely continuous spectrum. For Toeplitz operators T with piecewise continuous symbols, we suggest a further spectral classification determined by propagation properties of the operator T, that is, by the behavior of exp (iTt)f for t ±. It turns out that the spectrum is naturally partitioned into three disjoint subsets: thick, thin and mixed spectra. On the thick spectrum, the propagation properties are modeled by the continuous part of the symbol, whereas on the thin spectrum, the model operator is determined by the jumps of the symbol. On the mixed spectrum, these two types of the asymptotic evolution of exp (iTt)f coexist. This classification is justified in the framework of scattering theory. We prove the existence of wave operators that relate the model operators with the Toeplitz operator T. The ranges of these wave operators are pairwise orthogonal, and their orthogonal sum exhausts the whole space; i.e., the set of these wave operators is asymptotically complete.
