We characterize Fredholmness of Toeplitz operators acting on generalized Fock spaces of the n-dimensional complex space for symbols in the space of vanishing mean oscillation VMO. Our results extend the recent characterizations for Toeplitz operators on standard weighted Fock spaces to the setting of generalized weight functions and also allow for unbounded symbols in VMO for the first time. Another novelty is the treatment of small exponents 0 < p < 1, which to our knowledge has not been seen previously in the study of the Fredholm properties of Toeplitz operators on any function spaces. We accomplish this by describing the dual of the generalized Fock spaces with small exponents.

Let Ap(φ) be the pth Bergman space consisting of all holomorphic functions f on the unit ball B of ℂn for which , where φ is a given normal weight. Let Tg be the extended Cesàro operator with holomorphic symbol g. The essential norm of Tg as an operator from Ap (φ)to Aq (φ)is denoted by . In this paper it is proved that, for p≤q, with 1/k=(1/p)−(1/q) , where ℜg(z)is the radial derivative of g; and for p>q, with 1/s=(1/q)−(1/p) .

We characterize those holomorphic symbols ϕ: D → D for which the induced composition operator Cϕ: Bω → Bμ (respectively, Bω,0 → Bμ,0) is bounded or compact, where D is the unit disc in the complex plane C, ω is a normal function on [0, 1) and μ is a non-negative function on [0, 1) with μ(tn) > 0 for some sequence satisfying limn→∞ tn= 1.

Let be a bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain with C2 boundary . In this paper we prove that for a Bloch function in the existance of radial limits at almost all implies the existence of admissible limits almost everywhere on .
