On the inverse and determinant of certain truncated Wiener--Hopf operators

Abstract: The solution of a problem arising in integrable systems requires sharp asymptotics for the inverses and determinants of truncated Wiener-Hopf operators, both in the regular case (where the non-truncated Wiener-Hopf operator is invertible) and in singular cases. This paper treats the singular cases where the symbol of the Wiener-Hopf operator has one double zero or two simple zeros. We find formulas for the inverses that hold uniformly throughout the underlying interval with very small error, and formulas for the determinants with very small error.

Review text

The solution of a problem arising in integrable systems [cf.\ \textit{H.\,Widom}, ``Asymptotics of a class of operator determinants with application to the cylindrical Toda equations (Preprint) (2006; arXiv:nlin.SI/0605021)] requires the asymptotics as \(\alpha\to\infty\), with very small error, of the inverses and determinants of truncated Wiener--Hopf operators \(W_\alpha(\sigma)\) acting on \(L^2(0,\alpha)\), both in the regular case (where the Wiener--Hopf operator \(W(\sigma)\) on \(L^2({\mathbb R}_+)\) is invertible) and in singular cases. The author considers singular symbols of the form \(\sigma(\xi)=(\xi^2-p^2)\tau(\xi)\) (Fisher--Hartwig symbols), where \(p\) is real and \(\tau\) is nonzero, has index zero, and its Wiener--Hopf factors are of order \(1/\xi\) as \(\xi\to\infty\). Asymptotic formulas for \(W_\alpha(\sigma)^{-1}\) and \(\det W_\alpha(\sigma)\) are obtained, both with error \(O(e^{-\delta\alpha})\) for some \(\alpha>0\). These formulas involve Hankel operators with distribution symbols.
