Generalized Hilbert operators on weighted Bergman spaces (Q390727)

The authors study the boundedness and the compactness of the generalized Hilbert operator \( \displaystyle{\mathcal{H}_g(f)(z):=\int_0^1 f(t)g'(tz) dt} \) acting on weighted Bergman spaces \(A^p_\omega\) on the unit disk \(\mathbb{D}\), where \(\omega\) is a positive radial function satisfying the two following conditions: \((R)\): \,\(\omega\) is a regular weight, that is, it is continuous on \([0,1)\) and \[ \displaystyle{\widehat{\omega}(r):=\int_r^1\omega(t) dt\approx (1-r)\omega(r)}. \] \((M_p)\) (Muckenhoupt type condition): \[ M_p(\omega):=\sup_{0\leq r<1}\left(\int_r^1\widehat{\omega}(t)^{-p'/p} dt\right)^{p/p'}\int_0^r(1-t)^{-p}\widehat{\omega}(t) dt<\infty. \] The classical Hilbert operator \(\mathcal{H}\) corresponds to the choice \(g(z)=\log(1/(1-z))\). The conditions on the symbol \(g\) that characterize the boundedness or the compactness of the operator \(\mathcal{H}_g\) are given in terms of the following weighted Besov type spaces. Let \(0<p\leq\infty\) and \(0<q<\infty\). For a positive function \(v\) on \([0,1)\), denote by \(H(p,q,v)\) the space of all holomorphic functions \(h\) on \(\mathbb{D}\) such that the mixed norm \[ \|h\|_{H(p,q,v)}:=\left\|\,\|h(re^{i\theta})\|_{L^p(d\theta)}\right\|_{L^q(v(r)dr)} \] is finite. If \(0<p\leq\infty\) and \(0<\alpha\leq 1\), let \(\Lambda(p,\alpha,v)\) be the space of all holomorphic functions \(h\) on \(\mathbb{D}\) such that \[ \|h\|_{\Lambda(p,\alpha,v)}:=|h(0)|+\sup_{0\leq r<1} \frac{(1-r)^{1-\alpha}\|h'(re^{i\theta})\|_{L^p(d\theta)}}{v(r)}<\infty. \] Denote by \(\lambda(p,\alpha,v)\) the subspace of \(\Lambda(p,\alpha,v)\) consisting of those functions \(h\) satisfying \[ \lim_{r\to 1^-} \frac{(1-r)^{1-\alpha}\|h'(re^{i\theta})\|_{L^p(d\theta)}}{v(r)}=0. \] The main result of the paper states that if \(\omega\) satisfies conditions \((R)\) and \((M_p)\), then: 1)\, If \(1<p\leq q<\infty\), \(\mathcal{H}_g\) is bounded (respectively, compact) from \(A^p_\omega\) to \(A^q_\omega\) if and only if \(g\,\in \Lambda\left(q,1/p,v\right)\) (respectively, \(g\,\in \lambda\left(q,1/p,v\right)\)) with \(v(r)=\widehat{\omega}(z)^{1/p-1/q}\). 2)\, If \(1<q< p<\infty\), then \(\mathcal{H}_g\) is bounded from \(A^p_\omega\) to \(A^q_\omega\) if and only if it is compact if and \(g'\in H\left(q,s,v\right)\), where \(1/s=1/q-1/p\) and \(v(r)=(1-r)^{s(1-1/q)}\widehat{\omega}(r)\). Observe that if \(p=q\), then the conditions on \(g\) depend only on \(p\). The techniques used to prove the above results require the study of the properties of the above mentioned spaces, which is of interest by itself. The paper also contains an analysis on the Muckenhoupt condition. For instance, it is proved that if \(1<p<\infty\) and \(\omega\) is a regular weight such that \(\widehat{\omega}\in L^1(dr)\), then the Hilbert operator \(\mathcal{H}\) is bounded from \(L^p(\widehat{\omega}(r)dr)\) to \(A^p_\omega\) if and only if \(\omega\) satifies \((M_p)\).
