Abstract

-Berezin transforms are introduced for bounded operators on the Bergman space of the unit ball. The norm of the -Berezin transform as a linear operator from the space of bounded operators to is found. We show that the -Berezin transforms are commuting with each other and Lipschitz with respect to the pseudo-hyperbolic distance on the unit ball. Using the -Berezin transforms we show that a radial operator in the Toeplitz algebra is compact iff its Berezin transform vanishes on the boundary of the unit ball.
