Abstract

Let p be an analytic polynomial on the unit disk. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for Toeplitz operators with the symbol \(\overline z + p\) to be invertible on the Bergman space when all coefficients of p are real numbers. Furthermore, we establish several necessary and sufficient, easy-to-check conditions for Toeplitz operators with the symbol \(\overline z + p\) to be invertible on the Bergman space when some coefficients of p are complex numbers.
