Sharp estimates for singular values of Hankel operators

Abstract: We consider compact Hankel operators realized in

e l l^{2} (m a t h b b Z_{+})

as infinite matrices

G a m m a

with matrix elements

h (j + k)

. Roughly speaking, we show that, for all

a l p h a > 0

, the singular values

s_{n}

of

G a m m a

satisfy the bound

s_{n} = O (n^{- a l p h a})

as

n o i n f t y

provided

h (j) = O (j^{- 1} (l o g j)^{- a l p h a})

as

j o i n f t y

. These estimates on

s_{n}

are sharp in the power scale of

a l p h a

. Similar results are obtained for Hankel operators

m a t h b f G a m m a

realized in

L^{2} (m a t h b b R_{+})

as integral operators with kernels

m a t h b f h (t + s)

. In this case the estimates of singular values of

m a t h b f G a m m a

are determined by the behavior of

m a t h b f h (t)

as

t o 0

and as

t o i n f t y

.
