Some Remarks on the Toeplitz Corona problem

Abstract

In a recent paper, Trent and Wick establish a strong relation between the corona problem and the Toeplitz corona problem for a family of spaces over the ball and the polydisk. Their work is based on earlier work of Amar. In this note, several of their lemmas are reinterpreted in the language of Hilbert modules, revealing some interesting facts and raising some questions about quasi-free Hilbert modules. Moreover, a modest generalization of their result is obtained.
