Abstract

In their previous work, the authors proved the Berger-Coburn phenomenon for compact and Schatten SpS_p class Hankel operators HfH_f on generalized Fock spaces when 1<p<1<p<\infty, that is, for a bounded symbol ff, if HfH_f is a compact or Schatten class operator, then so is HfˉH_{\bar f}. More recently J.~Xia has provided a simple example that shows that there is no Berger-Coburn phenomenon for trace class Hankel operators on the classical Fock space F2F^2. Using Xia's example, we show that there is no Berger-Coburn phenomena for Schatten SpS_p class Hankel operators on generalized Fock spaces Fφ2F^2_\varphi for any 0<p10<p\le 1. Our approach is based on the characterization of Schatten class Hankel operators while Xia's approach is elementary and heavily uses the explicit basis vectors of F2F^2, which cannot be found for the weighted Fock spaces that we consider. We also formulate four open problems.
