Abstract:
We show that the algebra of all multipliers on $l^p$$(1<p<\infty)$ contains a closed subalgebra, $C_p+H_p^\infty$, which coincides with the familiar algebra $C+H^\infty$ in the case $p=2$. We also prove that a Toeplitz operator with $C_p+H_p^\infty$ symbol is Fredholm on $l^p$ if and only if its symbol is invertible in $C_p+H_p^\infty$.
