Bo Li (University of Toledo)
Toeplitz operators with BMO symbols on the Segal-Bargmann space
Abstract:   We establish some basic properties of BMO${}^p$ for $p \geq 1$ and  complete the characterization of bounded and compact Toeplitz operators with  BMO${}^1$ symbols on the Segal-Bargmann space of Gaussian square-integrable entire functions on $\mathbb{C}^n$. This is a joint work with L. A. Coburn and J. Isralowitz.

Yun-Su Kim (University of Toledo)
Algebraic Elements and Invariant Subspaces
Abstract:  If T is a contraction, then
(Case 1) T is a completely non-unitary contraction with a non-trivial algebraic element, or
(Case 2) T is a completely non-unitary contraction without a non-trivial algebraic element, that is, every non-zero element in H is transcendental with respect to T, or
(Case 3) T is not completely non-unitary.  We discuss the invariant subspace problem for operators of (Case 1) or (Case 3).

Zeljko Cuckovic (University of Toledo)
Iterates and the boundary behavior of the Berezin transform
Abstract:  I will present part of the paper by Arazy and Englis with the same title, published in the Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble), 2001.

Per Manne (NSEBA (Bergen, Norway))
Carleman approximation in several complex variables
Abstract:   T. Carleman (1927) showed that for any continuous function f on the real line and any strictly positive and continuous error function $e$, there exists an entire function $h$ such that $|h(x)-f(x)|\leq e(x)$ for all real $x.$ We show how this result can be extended to approximation on totally real sets in Stein manifolds.

Sonmez Sahutoglu (University of Toledo)
On regularity of Bergman projections
Abstract:  The following question will be discussed: Is the Bergman projection ``regular"
on smooth bounded pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$? This question  has been answered by several  authors in $\mathbb{C}^2.$ A partial answer will be given on domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ for $n\geq 3.$

Mehdi Nikpour (University of Toledo)
A non-Toeplitz, Hankel operator which is essentially Toeplitz! (Part 2)
Abstract: In this talk, an affirmative answer is given to one of the questions, posed by P. R. Halmos.

Trieu Le (University of Toledo)
Compactness of Toeplitz and Hankel operators with continuous symbols
Abstract: Let f be a function that is continuous on the closed polydisc $\overline{D}^n$. I will discuss the compactness of the Toeplitz operator $T_f$ and of the Hankel operator $H_f$ on the Bergman space $A^2(D^n).$

Yunus Zeytuncu (Ohio State University)
$L^p$ mapping properties of weighted Bergman projections
Abstract: We give examples of weights, on the unit disc, for which the weighted Bergman projection is only bounded on $L^p$ for a finite range values of p. This range is more than just $p=2$ but smaller than the interval $(1,\infty).$


October 2, 2009 (SPECIAL TIME & PLACE: Friday at 2pm, UH3008)

Ruhan Zhao (SUNNY-Brockport)
Essential norms of composition operators between Bloch type spaces
Abstract: In this talk we give a new formula for the essential norms of the composition operators between Bloch type spaces in terms of the norms of the n-th power of the inducing map. New characterizations for bounded and compact composition operators between Bloch type spaces invovling the same terms are also given.

Sonmez Sahutoglu (University of Toledo)
Analytic Discs, Plurisubharmonic Hulls, and the $\bar\partial$-Problem
Abstract: In this talk plurisubharmonic hull, existence of analytic discs, and the $\bar\partial$-problem will be defined. Furthermore, some relations between them will be mentioned.


September 17, 2009
Malgorzata Marciniak (University of Toledo)
Hartogs Type Extension Phenomena
Abstract: I will introduce few types of extension problems for holomorphic functions on complex manifolds and explain relationships between them.
