Characterizations of Asymmetric Truncated Toeplitz and Hankel Operators

Abstract

It was recently proved that in some special cases asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators can be characterized in terms of compressed shifts and rank-two operators of special form. In this paper we show that such characterizations hold in all cases. We also show a connection between asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators and asymmetric truncated Hankel operators. We use this connection to generalize results known for truncated Hankel operators to asymmetric truncated Hankel operators.
