Generalized Toeplitz plus Hankel operators: kernel structure and defect numbers (Q317818): Difference between revisions

For \(1<p<\infty\), let \(H^p(\mathbb{T})\) denote the Hardy space on the unit circle \(\mathbb{T}\). Let \(a, b\in L^\infty(\mathbb{T})\) and \(\alpha(t)\) be a linear fractional Carleman shift such that \(\alpha\) changes the orientation of \(\mathbb{T}\) and \(a(t)a(\alpha(t)) = b(t) b(\alpha(t))\), \(t\in \mathbb{T}\). The authors compute the defect numbers and explicitly describe the kernel and cokernel structure of the generalized Toeplitz plus Hankel operators \(T(a) + H_\alpha(b)\) on \(H^p(\mathbb{T})\).
