Abstract: We completely describe the boundedness of the Volterra type operator Jg between Hardy spaces in the unit ball of Cn. The proof of the one dimensional case used tools, such as the strong factorization for Hardy spaces, that are not available in higher dimensions, and therefore new techniques are developed. In particular, a generalized version of the description of Hardy spaces in terms of the area function is needed.


Let \(H\) be the space of holomorphic functions on the open unit ball \(\mathbb{B}\) in \(\mathbb{C}^n\). For \(g\in H\), let \(J_g:H\to H\) be the integral operator defined by \[ J_g(f)(z)=\int_0^1 f(tz)(Rg)(tz)\frac{dt}{t}, \] where \(R\) denotes the radial derivative. The author obtains a complete characterization of the symbols \(g\) for which the operator \(J_g\) between Hardy spaces \(H^p\) is bounded, compact or in the Schatten class, respectively. Although these characterizations coincide with the well-known ones for the case \(n=1\), their proofs require different techniques in order to avoid certain specific tools used in the one-dimensional case as, for example, the factorization of Hardy spaces. The main results proved by the author are the following: {\parindent=6mm\begin{itemize} \item[1)] \(J_g:H^p\to H^p\), \(0<p<\infty\), is bounded (resp. compact) if and only if \(g\in \mathrm{BMOA}\) (resp. \(g\in \mathrm{VMOA}\)). \item [2)] Let \(0<p<q<\infty\) and \(\alpha=n/p-n/q\). If \(\alpha< 1\), \(J_g:H^p\to H^q\) is bounded (resp. compact) if and only if \(g\in \Lambda_\alpha\) (resp. \(g\in \lambda_\alpha\)), where \(\Lambda_\alpha\) is the Lipschitz space of order \(\alpha\) (resp. \(\lambda_\alpha\) is the little Lipschitz space of order \(\alpha\)). If \(\alpha=1\), then \(J_g\) is bounded if and only if \(Rg\in H^\infty\), and it is compact if and only if \(J_g=0\), that is, \(g\) is constant. If \(\alpha>1\), \(J_g\) is bounded if and only if \(J_g=0\). \item [3)] Let \(0<q<p<\infty\) and \(1/r=1/q-1/p\). The operator \(J_g:H^p\to H^q\) is bounded if and only if \(g\in H^r\), and it is compact if and only if it is bounded. \item [4)] For \(0<p<\infty\), let \(S_p(H^2)\) be the \(p\)-Schatten class of operators on \(H^2\). If \(p>n\), then \(J_g\in S_p(H^2)\) if and only if \(g\) is in the Besov space \[ B_p=\Big\{f\in H\;:\; \big\|(1-|z|^2)^{1-(n+1)/p}Rf(z)\big\|_{L^p(\mathbb{B})}<\infty\Big\}. \] If \(p\leq n\), then \(J_g\in S_p(H^2)\) if and only if \(J_g=0\). \end{itemize}}
