Toeplitz algebra and Hankel algebra on the harmonic Bergman space

In this paper we completely characterize compact Toeplitz operators on the harmonic Bergman space. By using this result we establish the short exact sequences associated with the Toeplitz algebra and the Hankel algebra. We show that the Fredholm index of each Fredholm operator in the Toeplitz algebra or the Hankel algebra is zero.  2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
