Hyponormality of block Toeplitz operators

Caxing Gu, Jacob Hendricks and Daniel Rutherford

Vol. 223 (2006), No. 1, 95–111
Abstract

We show that for a block Toeplitz operator TG to be hyponormal, there is a matrix analogue of Cowen’s condition for a scalar hyponormal Toeplitz operator, but an additional condtion, GG = GG, is needed. A detailed analysis is given for the hypornormality of TG if G is a matrix trigomometric polynomial or G satisfies an extremal condition. Relevant results on kernels of block Hankel operators are also obtained.
