For a bounded analytic function $\varphi $ on the unit disk
$\mathbb {D}$ with
$\|\varphi \|_\infty \le 1$, we consider the defect operators
$D_\varphi $ and
$D_{\overline \varphi }$ of the Toeplitz operators
$T_{\overline \varphi }$ and
$T_\varphi $, respectively, on the weighted Bergman space
$A^2_\alpha $. The ranges of
$D_\varphi $ and
$D_{\overline \varphi }$, written as
$H(\varphi )$ and
$H(\overline \varphi )$ and equipped with appropriate inner products, are called sub-Bergman spaces.
We prove the following three results in the paper: for $-1<\alpha \le 0$, the space
$H(\varphi )$ has a complete Nevanlinna–Pick kernel if and only if
$\varphi $ is a Möbius map; for
$\alpha>-1$, we have
$H(\varphi )=H(\overline \varphi )=A^2_{\alpha -1}$ if and only if the defect operators
$D_\varphi $ and
$D_{\overline \varphi }$ are compact; and for
$\alpha>-1$, we have
$D^2_\varphi (A^2_\alpha )= D^2_{\overline \varphi }(A^2_\alpha )=A^2_{\alpha -2}$ if and only if
$\varphi $ is a finite Blaschke product. In some sense, our restrictions on
$\alpha $ here are best possible.
