On a coefficient in trace formulas for Wiener-Hopf operators (Q516585)

Summary: Let \(a = a(\xi), \xi \in \mathbb R\), be a smooth function quickly decreasing at infinity. For the Wiener-Hopf operator \(W(a)\) with the symbol \(a\), and a smooth function \(g: \mathbb C \rightarrow \mathbb C\), \textit{H. Widom} established the following trace formula [J. Oper. Theory 8, 279--298 (1982; Zbl 0499.47020)]: \[ \mathrm {tr}(g(W(a)) - W(g a)) = \mathcal B(a; g), \] where \(\mathcal B(a; g)\) is given explicitly in terms of the functions \(a\) and \(g\). The paper analyses the coefficient \(\mathcal B (a; g)\) for a class of non-smooth functions \(g\) assuming that \(a\) is real-valued. A representative example of one such function is \(g(t) = |t|^{\gamma}\) with some \(\gamma \in (0, 1]\).
