The predual and second predual of \(W_ \alpha\) (Q1316404)

The predual and second predual of the space \(W_ \alpha\) are identified. When \(\alpha=0\), \(W_ \alpha= BMOA\). These results are similar to Fefferman's and Sarason's duality theorems. The study of boundedness and compactness of Hankel operators on Dirichlet type spaces is the key to this approach. A new result for the Schatten \(p\)-class of this operator is also indicated.
