The Index Theorem for Toeplitz Operators as a Corollary of Bott Periodicity

Abstract

This is an expository paper about the index of Toeplitz operators, and in particular Boutet de Monvel's theorem. We prove Boutet de Monvel's theorem as a corollary of Bott periodicity, and independently of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem.
