Abstract

We give a short proof of the main result of our previous paper [2]: every Schmidt subspace of a Hankel operator is the image of a model space by an isometric multiplier. This class of subspaces is closely related to nearly SS^*-invariant subspaces, and our proof uses Hitt's theorem on the structure of such subspaces. We also give a formula for the action of a Hankel operator on its Schmidt subspace.
