Berger–Coburn conjecture on the borderline heat transform criterion
Berger–Coburn conjecture on the borderline heat transform criterion
Let be the Bargmann–Fock space, let be measurable, and let denote the normalized reproducing kernel at . For , define the heat transform, whenever the integral is absolutely convergent, by
Assume that for every , and let be the associated Toeplitz operator. Berger–Coburn conjecture. extends to a bounded operator on if and only if is bounded on .
The estimates of Berger and Coburn establish the corresponding norm inequalities for heat-transform times strictly above and strictly below , leaving the endpoint as the unresolved case. The conjecture asks whether boundedness of this borderline transform is also sufficient for boundedness of the Toeplitz operator.
