A fermionic Grunsky operator

From MaRDI portal





Let \(\mathbb{D}\) be the unit disk, and \(f\) a conformal map from \(\mathbb{D}\) into the complex plane. Then \(f\) has associated an operator called the Grunsky operator, which arises in many different contexts. The present paper aims to define an analogue of the Grunsky operator on the Hardy space of the disk, or, what is the same, on the Smirnov space of \(f(\mathbb{D})\) and its complement. Then, the authors obtain results for this operator which are analogous to those known on the standard Grunsky operator.\N\NThis generalization of the Grunsky operator is established in Definition 4.4, in the following setting. Let the sphere be divided into two subsets \(\Omega_1\) and \(\Omega_2\) by an Ahlfors-regular rectifiable Jordan curve, with \(\infty \in \Omega_2\), and \(f : \mathbb{D} \rightarrow \Omega_1\) be a conformal map. Then, a certain bounded operator is defined as the Grunsky operator \(\mathrm{Gr}_f^{1/2}\).\N\NThe main properties of this operator are the following. The graph of the Grunsky operator is the pull-back of the Smirnov space of the complement of \(f(\mathbb{D})\) (Theorem 4.7), and if the Grunsky operator is Hilbert-Schmidt, then \(\Gamma = f(\mathbb{S}^1)\) is a Weil-Petterson class quasicircle (Corollary 5.3). A partial converse of this last result is obtained in Proposition 5.5, and the conditions on the converse itself are presented as Problem 5.6.
