Abstract

Recently it was proven that for a convex subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} that has infinitely many extreme vectors, the Nehari theorem fails, that is, there exists a bounded Hankel operator \Haϕ\Ha_{\phi} on the Paley--Wiener space \PW(Ω)\PW(\Omega) that does not admit a bounded symbol. In this paper we examine whether Nehari's theorem can hold under the stronger assumption that the Hankel operator \Haϕ\Ha_{\phi} is in the Schatten class Sp(\PW(Ω))S^{p}(\PW(\Omega)). We prove that this fails for p>4p>4 for any convex subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, n2n\geq2, of boundary with a C2C^{2} neighborhood of nonzero curvature. Furthermore we prove that for a polytope PP in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, the inequality 2Pf^(x)m(P(xP))dxC(P)fL1,\int_{2P}\dfrac{|\widehat{f}(x)|}{m(P\cap (x-P))}dx\leq C(P)\|f\|_{L^{1}}, holds for all f\PW1(2P)f\in \PW^{1}(2P), and consequently any Hilbert--Schmidt Hankel operator on a Paley--Wiener space of a polytope is generated by a bounded function.
