Abstract

We completely characterize commuting dual Toeplitz operators with bounded harmonic symbols on the harmonic Bergman space of the unit disk. We show that for harmonic φ and ψ, S φ S ψ = S ψ S φ on (L 2 h ) if and only if φ and ψ satisfy one of the following conditions: (1) Both φ and ψ are analytic on D. (2) Both φ and ψ are anti-analytic on D. (3) There exist complex constants α and β, not both 0, such that φ = αψ + β. Furthermore, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for S φ S ψ = S φψ .
