TL;DR
This work analyzes Toeplitz operators on the $\ell^2$-valued Bergman space $A^2_\alpha({\mathbb B}_n, \ell^2)$ with operator-valued symbols in $BMO^1_\alpha({\mathbb B}_n, \mathcal{L}(\ell^2))$, developing a finite-dimensional reduction method and constructing explicit non-compact examples. It establishes sufficient conditions for compactness via the Toeplitz algebra $\mathcal{T}_{L^\infty_{fin}}$ and through sufficiently localized operators, and connects compactness to Berezin-transform vanishing and boundary behavior of the symbols and their adjoints. The paper also proves finite-dimensional truncation results and shows that certain extensions from the finite-dimensional case to infinite dimension fail without extra hypotheses, while offering a concrete framework and open questions for further extending Xia’s localization results to the infinite-dimensional setting. Together, these results provide a robust operator-theoretic toolkit for vector-valued Bergman spaces, enabling precise compactness criteria for $T_b$ and clarifying when finite-dimensional approximations capture infinite-dimensional behavior.
Abstract
As a class of compact operators on the $\ell^2-$valued Bergman space $A^2_α(\mathbb B_n, \ell^2)$ on the unit ball $\mathbb B_n,$ we study Toeplitz operators with $BMO^1_α(\mathbb B_n, \mathcal L(\ell^2))$ operator-valued symbols. First, we describe a method of restriction to a finite dimension which allows us to apply earlier results of Rahm and Wick; then we exhibit an explicit example of a compact Toeplitz operator on $A^2_α(\mathbb B_n, \ell^2).$ Secondly, we apply two sufficient conditions for compactness established by Rahm in infinite dimension. The first condition is in terms of the Toeplitz algebra $\mathcal T_{L^\infty_{fin}},$ the second one is in terms of sufficiently localized operators and is implied by the first condition. To get the second condition, we additionally assume that the symbol and its adjoint belong to $BMO^1_α(\mathbb B_n, \mathcal L(\ell^2, \ell^1)).$ Finally, inspired by Xia and Sadeghi-Zorboska, we ask the question of the validity of the reverse implication.
