Toeplitz operators on symmetric Siegel domains. (English) Zbl 0565.47016
In this paper, the structure theory for Toeplitz $$C^*$$-algebras over bounded symmetric domains in $${\mathbb{C}}^ n$$ [cf. H. Upmeier, Ann. Math., II. Ser. 119, 549-576 (1984; Zbl 0549.46031)] is applied to study smooth Toeplitz operators on the distinguished boundary $$\Sigma$$ of a symmetric Siegel domain D. As the main result, it is shown that the $$C^*$$-algebra $${\mathcal T}_{\Sigma}$$ generated by these operators is solvable of length $$r=rank(D)$$ and that its irreducible representations correspond to the boundary components of D. This applies in particular to Wiener-Hopf operators on self-dual homogeneous cones, first studied by P. S. Muhly and J. N. Renault [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 274, 1- 44 (1982; Zbl 0509.46049)].
