A Semi-Classical Szegő-type Limit Theorem for Toeplitz Operators
Trevor Camper, Mishko Mitkovski
TL;DR
This work develops Szegő-type limit theorems for Toeplitz operators on a broad abstract RKHS framework and then specializes to concrete spaces. It combines an extended Berezin-Lieb inequality with a convergence analysis for the Berezin transform to prove limits of trace functionals of convex functions of Toeplitz operators, yielding explicit integral limits against the symbol. The results unify Bergman-space Szegő theory with an abstract, group-agnostic approach, and apply to weighted Bergman spaces, Segal-Bargmann-Fock, Paley-Wiener spaces, the classical Szegő setting, and both compact and locally compact Abelian groups via Følner sequences. The methodology offers a versatile bridge between operator-theoretic Szegő limits and harmonic analysis on groups, enabling new limit results and generalizations across several canonical spaces. Overall, the paper broadens the reach of Szegő-type asymptotics beyond classical settings to a cohesive, highly general framework with rich applications.
Abstract
We obtain Szegő-type limit theorems for Toeplitz operators on the weighted Bergman spaces $A^{2}_α(\mathbb{D})$, and on $L^{2}(G)$ where $G$ is a compact Abelian group. We also derive several abstract Szegő limit theorems which include many related classical Szegő limit theorems as a special case.
