Hankel operators on L^p(\mathbb{R}_+) and their p-completely bounded multipliers

Abstract: We show that for any

1 < p < i n f t y

, the space

H a n k_{p} (m a t h b b R_{+}) s u b s e t e q B (L^{p} (m a t h b b R_{+}))

of all Hankel operators on

L^{p} (m a t h b b R_{+})

is equal to the

w^{*}

-closure of the linear span of the operators

h e t a_{u} c o l o n L^{p} (m a t h b b R_{+}) o L^{p} (m a t h b b R_{+})

defined by

h e t a_{u} f = f (u -, c d o t p)

, for

u > 0

. We deduce that

H a n k_{p} (m a t h b b R_{+})

is the dual space of

A_{p} (m a t h b b R_{+})

, a half-line analogue of the Figa-Talamenca-Herz algebra

A_{p} (m a t h b b R)

. Then we show that a function

m c o l o n m a t h b b R_{+}^{*} o m a t h b b C

is the symbol of a

p

-completely bounded multiplier

H a n k_{p} (m a t h b b R_{+}) o H a n k_{p} (m a t h b b R_{+})

if and only if there exist

a l p h a i n L^{i} n f t y (m a t h b b R_{+}; L^{p} (O m e g a))

and

such that

for a.e.

(s, t) i n m a t h b b R_{+}^{* 2}

. We also give analogues of these results in the (easier) discrete case.
