Abstract: We obtain sufficient conditions for a densely defined operator on the Fock space to be bounded or compact. Under the boundedness condition we then characterize the compactness of the operator in terms of its Berezin transform.


This paper mainly focuses on the boundedness and compactness of operators on the Fock space \(F_\alpha^2\) consisting of all entire functions which are square integrable with respect to the Gaussian measure \(d\lambda_\alpha(z)=\frac{\alpha}{\pi} e^{-\alpha |z|^2} dA(z)\), with \(dA\) being the area measure. Precisely, let \(\mathcal{D}\) denote a dense subspace of all finite linear span of reproducing kernels in \(F_\alpha^2\). In this paper, each linear operator \(S\) is assumed to be well defined on \(\mathcal{D}\), and \(\widetilde{S}\) denote the Berezin transform of \(S\). Let \(\|\cdot \|_p\) denote the norm in \(L^p(\mathbb{C},d\lambda_\alpha)\) with \(p\geq 1\). Define \[ U_zf(w)=f (z-w) k_z(w), \] where \(k_z\) denotes the normalized reproducing kernel at \(z\). Then \(U_z\) is a selfadjoint unitary operator and \(U_z \mathcal{D} \subseteq \mathcal{D}\). For each linear operator \(S\), write \(S_z=U_z SU_z\). It is shown by the authors that, if there exist some constants \(p\) and \(C\) with \(p>2\) and \(C>0\) such that \(\|S_z 1\|_p\leq C \) for all complex numbers \(z\), then \(S\) is bounded on \(F_\alpha^2\). Also, they prove that, if there exists some constant \(p>2\) such that \(\|S_z 1\|_p\to 0\) \((z\to \infty)\), then \(S\) is compact on \(F_\alpha^2\). On the other hand, by providing an example, it is illustrated that the converses of the above two results both are false. Also, under a mild condition, they present a criterion for the compactness of \(S\): suppose that there exist some constants \(p\) and \(C\) with \(p>2\) and \(C>0\) such that \(\|S_z 1\|_p\leq C \) for all complex numbers \(z\), then \(S\) is compact if and only if \(\widetilde{S}(z)\to 0\) \((z\to \infty)\). As mentioned by the authors, all results above remain valid in multi-variable case. In addition, their argument also works for the case of Bergman spaces on the unit ball in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), which is the context of the last section. It is worthy to point out that one of the novelties here is that Schur's test is not used in their approach.
