Abstract
In this paper we consider Toeplitz operators on Dirichlet spaces of the unit disk inℂ whose symbols are nonnegative measures. We obtain necessry and sufficient conditions on the symbols for the operator to be bounded and compact. If the symbols are supported in a cone we also get necessary and sufficient conditions for the operators to belong to the Schatten p-class. Application to the Hankel operators are indicated.
