Reducing Subspaces of Toeplitz Operators on $N_ϕ$-Type Quotient Modules on the Torus

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the Toeplitz operator with finite Blaschke product symbol $S_{ψ(z)}$ on $N_ϕ$ has at least $m$ non-trivial minimal reducing subspaces, where $m$ is the dimension of $H^2(Γ_ω) ⊖ ϕ(ω)H^2 (Γ_ω)$. Moreover, the restriction of $S_{ψ(z)}$ on any of these minimal reducing subspaces is unitary equivalent to the Bergman shift $M_z$.
