Abstract: It is well known that Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space L^2_a(B) are localized in a well-defined sense, and this localization has applications. In contrast, recent examples show that Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space H^2(S) are generally not localized. We remedy this situation by developing a theory of localization on H^2(S). Specifically, we introduce a C^*-algebra L on H^2(S), and we show that the operators in L have all the right localization properties. Moreover, we show that this L is maximal with respect to these properties. As it turns out, L contains the Toeplitz operators with continuous symbols on H^2(S), but the proof of this fact is not easy. Finally, we apply our localization to solve a spectral-gap problem arising from the Arveson-Douglas conjecture.
