Hankel operators with vector valued symbols on the Hardy space (Q614273)

Let \(L_{\mathbb C^n}^2(\mathbb T)\) denote the Hilbert space of \(\mathbb C^n\)-valued square integrable functions on the unit circle \(\mathbb T\) and \(\mathcal H_{\mathbb C^n}^2\) the corresponding Hardy space of functions in \(L_{\mathbb C^n}^2(\mathbb T)\) with vanishing negative Fourier coefficients. Let \(P\) be the orthogonal projection of \(L_{\mathbb C^n}^2(\mathbb T)\) onto \({\mathcal H}_{\mathbb C^n}^2\) and \(J:L_{\mathbb C^n}^2(\mathbb T)\to L_{\mathbb C^n}^2(\mathbb T)\) be defined by \(Jf(z)=f(\overline{z})\). For a bounded measurable \(n\times n\) matrix function \(\Phi\), the Toeplitz and the Hankel operators are defined by \(T_\Phi f=P(\Phi f)\) and \(S_\Phi f=P(J(\Phi f))\), respectively. Suppose that \(q\in H^\infty(\mathbb T)\) is an inner function. The main result of the paper says that the sequence \(J_{qI_{n\times n}}^m T_\Phi T_{(zq)I_{n\times n}}^m\) converges strongly to the Hankel operator \(S_\Phi\) as \(m\to\infty\).
