We discuss de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal H(b)$ generated by nonextreme and rational functions $b$ and local Dirichlet spaces of order $m$ introduced in [6]. In [6] the authors characterized nonextreme $b$ for which the operator $Y=S|_{\mathcal H(b)}$, the restriction of the shift operator $S$ on $H^2$ to $\mathcal H(b)$, is a strict $2m$-isometry and proved that such spaces $\mathcal H (b)$ are equal to local Dirichlet spaces of order $m$. Here we give a characterization of local Dirichlet spaces of order $m$ in terms of the $m$-th derivatives that is a generalization of a known result on local Dirichlet spaces. We also find explicit formulas for $b$ in the case when $\mathcal H(b)$ coincides with local Dirichlet space of order $m$ with equality of norms. Finally, we prove a property of wandering vectors of $Y$ analogous to the property of wandering vectors of the restriction of $S$ to harmonically weighted Dirichlet spaces obtained by D.

In this paper we investigate intertwining relations for compressions of $k^{th}$--order slant Toeplitz operators to model spaces. We then ask when a product of two such compressions is a compression itself., Comment: 23 pages

The property of being shift invariant and being reflexive or transitive in the case of the space of (asymmetric) truncated Toeplitz operators, and the space of (asymmetric) dual truncated operators is investigated. Most of the results obtained are new even for the symmetric case. A characterization of asymmetric dual truncated Toeplitz operators is also given.

Following Beurling's theorem the natural compressions of the multiplication operator in the classical $L^2$ space are compressions to model spaces and to their orthogonal complements. Two possibly different model spaces are considered hence asymmetric truncated Toeplitz and asymmetric dual truncated Toeplitz operators are investigated. The main purpose of the paper is to characterize operators which intertwine compressions of the unilateral shift.

Conjugations in space $L^2$ of the unit circle commuting with multiplication by $z$ or intertwining multiplications by $z$ and $\bar z$ are characterized. We also study their behaviour with respect to the Hardy space, subspaces invariant for the unilateral shift and model spaces.

Conjugations commuting with $\mathbf{M}_z$ and intertwining $\mathbf{M}_z$ and $\mathbf{M}_{\bar z}$ in $L^2(\mathcal{H})$, where $\mathcal{H}$ is a Hilbert space, are characterized. We also investigate which of them leave invariant the whole Hardy space $H^2(\mathcal{H})$ or a model space $K_{\Theta}=H^2(\mathcal{H})\ominus\Theta H^2(\mathcal{H})$, where $\Theta$ is a pure operator valued inner function.

Asymmetric dual truncated Toeplitz operators acting between the orthogonal complements of two (eventually different) model spaces are introduced and studied. They are shown to be equivalent after extension to paired operators on $L^2(\mathbb T) \oplus L^2(\mathbb T)$ and, if their symbols are invertible in $L^\infty(\mathbb T)$, to asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators with the inverse symbol. Relations with Carleson's corona theorem are also established. These results are used to study the Fredholmness, the invertibility and the spectra of various classes of dual truncated Toeplitz operators.

In this paper we consider compressions of $k^{th}$--order slant Toeplitz operators to the backward shift invariant subspaces of the classical Hardy space $H^2$. In particular, we characterize these operators using compressed shifts and finite rank operators of special kind., Comment: 15 pages

We describe de Branges-Rovnyak spaces $\mathcal H (b_{\alpha})$, $\alpha>0$, where the function $b_{\alpha}$ is not extreme in the unit ball of $H^{\infty}$ on the unit disk $\mathbb D$, defined by the equality $b_{\alpha}(z)/a_{\alpha}(z)=(1-z)^{-\alpha}$, $z\in\mathbb D$, where $a_{\alpha}$ is the outer function such that $a_{\alpha}(0)>0$ and $|a_{\alpha}|^2+|b_{\alpha}|^2= 1$ a.e. on $\partial \mathbb D$.

It was recently proved that in some special cases asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators can be characterized in terms of compressed shifts and rank-two operators of special form. In this paper we show that such characterizations hold in all cases.

Truncated Toeplitz operators are C--symmetric with respect to the canonical conjugation given on an appropriate model space. However, by considering only one conjugation one cannot characterize truncated Toeplitz operators. It will be proved, for some classes of inner functions and the model spaces connected with them, that if an operator on a model space is C--symmetric for a certain family of conjugations in the model space, then is has to be truncated Toeplitz. A characterization of classical Toeplitz operators is also presented in terms of conjugations.

In this paper we present some consequences of the description of matrix representations of asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators acting between finite-dimensional model spaces. In particular, we prove that these operators can be characterized using modified compressed shifts or the notion of shift invariance. We also describe rank-one asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators acting between finite-dimensional model spaces. This paper is a sequel to the paper of J. Jurasik and B. {\L}anucha "Asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators on finite-dimensional spaces".

In this paper we consider asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators acting between two finite-dimensional model spaces. We compute the dimension of the space of all such operators. We also describe the matrix representations of asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators acting between two finite-dimensional model spaces. Our results are generalizations of the results known for truncated Toeplitz operators.

Asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators are compressions of multiplication operators acting between two model spaces. These operators are natural generalizations of truncated Toeplitz operators. In this paper we describe symbols of asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators equal to the zero operator., Comment: 10 pages
