An inverse problem for self-adjoint positive Hankel operators

Abstract: For a sequence

{a l p h a_{n}}_{n = 0}^{i} n f t y

, we consider the Hankel operator

G a m m a_{a} l p h a

, realised as the infinite matrix in

e l l^{2}

with the entries

a l p h a_{n + m}

. We consider the subclass of such Hankel operators defined by the "double positivity" condition

G a m m a_{a} l p h a g e q 0

,

G a m m a_{S^{*} a l p h a} g e q 0

; here

S^{*} a l p h a

is the shifted sequence

{a l p h a_{n + 1}}_{n = 0}^{i} n f t y

. We prove that in this class, the sequence

a l p h a

is uniquely determined by the spectral shift function

x i_{a} l p h a

for the pair

G a m m a_{a} l p h a^{2}

,

G a m m a_{S^{*} a l p h a}^{2}

. We also describe the class of all functions

x i_{a} l p h a

arising in this way and prove that the map

a l p h a m a p s t o x i_{a} l p h a

is a homeomorphism in appropriate topologies.
