Zero products of Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols

On the Bergman space of the unit ball in Cn, we solve the zero-product problem for two Toeplitz operators with harmonic symbols that have continuous extensions to (some part of) the boundary. In the case where symbols have Lipschitz continuous extensions to the boundary, we solve the zero-product problem for multiple products with the number of factors depending on the dimension n of the underlying space; the number of factors is n + 3. We also prove a local version of this result but with loss of a factor. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
