Diagonalizations of two classes of unbounded Hankel operators

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We show that every Hankel operator H is unitarily equivalent to a pseudo-differential operator A of a special structure acting in the space L2(BbbR). As an example, we consider integral operators H in the space L2(BbbR+) with kernels P(ln(t+s))(t+s)1 where P(x) is an arbitrary real polynomial of degree K. In this case, A is a differential operator of the same order K. This allows us to study spectral properties of Hankel operators H with such kernels. In particular, we show that the essential spectrum of H coincides with the whole axis for K odd, and it coincides with the positive half-axis for K even. In the latter case we additionally find necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity of H. We also consider Hankel operators whose kernels have a strong singularity at some positive point. We show that spectra of such operators consist of the zero eigenvalue of infinite multiplicity and eigenvalues accumulating to +infty and infty. We find the asymptotics of these eigenvalues.
