Abstract

We prove a new criterion that guarantees self-adjointness of Toeplitz operator with unbounded operator-valued symbols. Our criterion applies, in particular, to symbols with Lipschitz continuous derivatives, which is the natural class of Hamiltonian functions for classical mechanics. For this we extend the Berger-Coburn estimate to the case of vector-valued Segal-Bargmann spaces. Finally, we apply our result to prove self-adjointness for a class of (operator-valued) quadratic forms on the space of Schwartz functions in the Schr\"odinger representation.
