Toeplitz algebra

In operator algebras, the Toeplitz algebra is the C*-algebra generated by the unilateral shift on the Hilbert space l²(N). Taking l²(N) to be the Hardy space H², the Toeplitz algebra consists of elements of the form
${\\displaystyle T_{f}+K\\;}$
where T_f is a Toeplitz operator with continuous symbol and K is a compact operator. Toeplitz operators with continuous symbols commute modulo the compact operators. So the Toeplitz algebra can be viewed as the C*-algebra extension of continuous functions on the circle by the compact operators. This extension is called the Toeplitz extension. By Atkinson's theorem, an element of the Toeplitz algebra T_f + K is a Fredholm operator if and only if the symbol f of T_f is invertible. In that case, the Fredholm index of T_f + K is precisely the winding number of f, the equivalence class of f in the fundamental group of the circle. This is a special case of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. Wold decomposition characterizes proper isometries acting on a Hilbert space. From this, together with properties of Toeplitz operators, one can conclude that the Toeplitz algebra is the universal C*-algebra generated by a proper isometry; this is Coburn's theorem.
