Abstract

Let Ω\Omega be a nonempty, open and convex subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}. The Paley-Wiener space with respect to Ω\Omega is defined to be the closed subspace of L2(Rn)L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) of functions with Fourier transform supported in 2Ω2\Omega. For a tempered distribution ϕ\phi we define a Hankel operator to be the densely defined operator: Hϕf^(x)=Ωf^(y)ϕ^(x+y)dy, for xΩ.\widehat{H_{\phi}f}(x)=\int_{\Omega}\widehat{f}(y)\widehat{\phi}(x+y)dy,\text{ for $x\in\Omega$}. We say that the Nehari theorem is true for Ω\Omega, if every bounded Hankel operator is generated by a bounded function. In this paper we prove that the Nehari theorem fails for any convex set in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} that has infinitely many extreme points. In particular, it fails for all convex bounded sets which are not polytopes. Furthermore, in the setting of R2R^{2}, it fails for all non-polyhedral sets, bounded or unbounded.
