Abstract: We study Toeplitz operators on the Hardy spaces of connected compact abelian groups and of tube-type bounded symmetric domains. A representation theorem for these operators and for classes of abstract Toeplitz elements in C*-algebras is proved. This is used to give a unified treatment to index theory in this setting, and a variety of new index theorems are proved that generalize the Gohberg-Krein theorem for Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space of the unit circle in the plane.
