We find a relation guaranteeing that Hankel operators realized in the space of sequences $\ell^2 ({\Bbb Z}_{+}) $ and in the space of functions $L^2 ({\Bbb R}_{+}) $ are unitarily equivalent. This allows us to obtain exhaustive spectral…

A multiplicative Hankel operator is an operator with matrix representation $M(\alpha) = \{\alpha(nm)\}_{n,m=1}^\infty$, where $\alpha$ is the generating sequence of $M(\alpha)$. Let $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{M}_0$ denote the spaces of…

The transfer operator for $\Gamma_0(N)$ and trivial character $\chi_0$ possesses a finite group of symmetries generated by permutation matrices $P$ with $P^2=id$. Every such symmetry leads to a factorization of the Selberg zeta function in…

We show that all Hankel operators $H$ realized as integral operators with kernels $h(t+s)$ in $L^2 ({\Bbb R}_{+}) $ can be quasi-diagonalized as $H= {\sf L}^* \Sigma {\sf L} $. Here ${\sf L}$ is the Laplace transform, $\Sigma$ is the…

The matrix Sturm-Liouville operator on a finite interval with singular potential of class $W_2^{-1}$ and the general self-adjoint boundary conditions is studied. This operator generalizes the Sturm-Liouville operators on geometrical graphs.…

Let $(-A,B,C)$ be a linear system in continuous time $t>0$ with input and output space ${\bf C}$ and state space $H$. The function $\phi_{(x)}(t)=Ce^{-(t+2x)A}B$ determines a Hankel integral operator $\Gamma_{\phi_{(x)}}$ on $L^2((0, \infty…

This article considers Whittaker's function $W_{\kappa ,\mu }$ where $\kappa$ is real and $\mu$ is real or purely imaginary. Then $\varphi (x)=x^{-\mu -1/2}W_{\kappa ,\mu }(x)$ arises as the scattering function of a continuous time linear…

Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0,1)$. For $\gamma>0$, the Hankel matrix $\mathcal{H}_{\mu,\gamma}=(\mu_{n,k})_{n,k\geq0}$ with entries $\mu_{n,k}=\mu_{n+k}$, where $\mu_{n+k}=\int_{0}^{\infty}t^{n+k}d\mu(t)$.…

We will give an abstract characterization of an arbitrary self-adjoint weak$^*$-closed subspace of $\mathcal{L}(H)$ (equipped with the induced matrix norm, the induced matrix cone and the induced weak$^*$-topology). In order to do this, we…

Let $\theta$ be an inner function satisfying the connected level set condition of B. Cohn, and let $K^{1}_{\theta}$ be the shift-coinvariant subspace of the Hardy space $H^1$ generated by $\theta$. We describe the dual space to…

For $\alpha\geq 0$, $\beta<1$ and $\gamma\geq 0$, the class $\mathcal{W}_{\beta}(\alpha,\gamma)$ satisfies the condition \begin{align*} {\rm Re\,} \left( e^{i\phi}\left((1-\alpha+2\gamma)f/z+(\alpha-2\gamma)f'+ \gamma…

In this note, we find sufficient conditions for an operator with kernel of the form $A(x)B(y)-A(x)B(y)/(x-y)$ (which we call a Tracy-Widom type operator) to be the square of a Hankel operator. We consider two contexts: infinite matrices on…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group and let $f \in \ell^1(\Gamma)$. We observe that if the natural convolution operator $\rho_f:\ell^{\infty}(\Gamma)\to \ell^{\inf ty}(\Gamma)$ is injective, then f is invertible in $\ell^1(\Gamma)$. Our proof…

We continue with the study of the Hankel determinant, $$ D_{n}(t,\alpha):=\det\left(\int_{0}^{\infty}x^{j+k}w(x;t,\alpha)dx\right)_{j,k=0 }^{n-1}, $$ generated by singularly perturbed Laguerre weight, $$ w(x;t,\alpha):=x^{\alpha}{\rm…

Let $(s_n)_{n\ge 0}$ denote an indeterminate Hamburger moment sequence and let $\mathcal H=\{s_{m+n}\}$ be the corresponding positive definite Hankel matrix. We consider the question if there exists an infinite symmetric matrix $\mathcal…

Let $H_0 = -\Delta + V_0(x)$ be a Schroedinger operator on $L_2(\mathbb{R}^\nu),$ $\nu=1,2,$ or 3, where $V_0(x)$ is a bounded measurable real-valued function on $\mathbb{R}^\nu.$ Let $V$ be an operator of multiplication by a bounded…

Using Ramanujan's Master Theorem, two formulas are derived which define the Hankel transforms of order zero with even functions by inverse Mellin transforms, provided these functions and their derivatives obey special conditions. Their…

On finite dimensional spaces, it is apparent that an operator is the product of two positive operators if and only if it is similar to a positive operator. Here, the class ${\mathcal L}^{+2}$ of bounded operators on separable infinite…

We establish a spectral duality for certain unbounded operators in Hilbert space. The class of operators includes discrete graph Laplacians arising from infinite weighted graphs. The problem in this context is to establish a practical…
