On the extension of a certain class of Carleman operators (Q2471511)

The integral operators of Carleman play an important role in the spectral theory of selfadjoint operators and are the object of several works such those of \textit{G.\,I.\thinspace Targonski} [Proc.\ Am.\ Math.\ Soc.\ 18, 450--456 (1967; Zbl 0147.12002)], \textit{V.\,B.\thinspace Korotkov} [Sib.\ Math.\ J.\ 11,(1) (1970)], and \textit{J.\,Weidmann} [Manuscr.\ Math.\ 2, 1--38 (1970; Zbl 0185.20401)]. In the present paper, the author study a certain class of those operators in the Hilbert space \(L^2(X,\mu)\). More precisely, the author give necessary and sufficient conditions so that they possess equal deficiency indices. Such operators find their applications in the theory of random variable approximation.
