Statistical convergence and operators on Fock space (Q258916)

The main contribution of this paper is the observation that, for a bounded sequence \(x=(x_n)\) of complex numbers, the sum \(\sum_{n=0}^\infty x_n t^n/n!\) can be represented in terms of the Berezin symbol of the multiplier \(M_x\) on the Fock space \(\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{C})\); this follows by a straightforward calculation (see the proof of Theorem~2). The term \(\sum_{n=0}^\infty x_n t^n/n!\) is reminiscent of the Borel summation method. The authors introduce the notion of discretely statistically Borel convergent series and describe it by means of the Berezin symbol of \(M_x\) (Theorem~2). They also attempt to solve a problem from \textit{E. Nordgren} and \textit{P. Rosenthal} [in: Nonselfadjoint operators and related topics. Workshop on Operator theory and its applications, Beersheva, Israel, February 24-28, 1992. Basel: Birkhäuser Verlag. 362--368 (1994; Zbl 0874.47013)] about Schatten class operators on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Reviewer's remarks: There are several disconcerting elements in this paper. To begin with, the definition of discretely statistically Borel convergent series is based on a misconception of the classical Borel method; for example, according to the definition in the paper \(0+1+2+0+0+\cdots\) sums to~\(2\). This misunderstanding also affects the proof of Theorem~3, which incidentally seems to rely on the assumption that a sequence is convergent if and only if it is bounded. As for Theorem~4, this theorem claims that an operator on \(\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{C})\) is Hilbert-Schmidt if and only if \(\sup_{\lambda \in \mathbb{C}} \Phi(\lambda)<\infty\) for a certain \(\Phi\). The confusing point here is that \(\Phi(\lambda)\) is actually independent of \(\lambda\) and it involves an allegedly bounded Toeplitz operator with an unbounded symbol. Lastly, it should be mentioned that the problem to which Theorem~4 contributes was solved in complete generality in [\textit{I.~Chalendar} et al., Acta Sci.~ Math.\ 78, No.~1--2, 315--329 (2012; Zbl 1299.47044)], a paper coauthored by the second-named author of the article under review that is not mentioned in the references.
