Abstract

The chapter is a survey of some applications of Blaschke products to the spectral theory of Toeplitz operators. Topics discussed include Toeplitz operators with bounded measurable symbols, factorisation with an infinite index, compositions with Blaschke products, representation of functions with a given asymptotic behaviour of the argument in a neighbourhood of a discontinuity in the form of a composition of a continuous function with a Blaschke product, and applications to the KdV equation.
