Abstract
In this article, by considering T=(T1,..., Tn), an n-tuple of commuting contractions on a Hilbert space H, we study T-Toeplitz operators which consists of bounded operators X on H such that Ti*XTi=X for all i=1,...,n. We show that any positive T-Toeplitz operator can be factorized in terms of an isometric pseudo-extension of T. A similar factorization result in terms of a BCL type of co-isometric pseudo-extension is also obtained for positive pure lower T-Toeplitz operators. However, a certain difference has been observed between the case n=2 and n>2. In a more general context, by considering n-tuples of commuting contractions S and T, we also study (S, T)-Toeplitz operators.
