Abstract

Let L2=L2(D,rdrdθ/π) be the Lebesgue space on the open unit disc and let La2=L2ol(D) be the Bergman space. Let P be the orthogonal projection of L2 onto La2 and let Q be the orthogonal projection onto L¯a,02={gL2;g¯La2,g(0)=0}. Then IPQ. The big Hankel operator and the small Hankel operator on La2 are defined as: for ϕ in L, Hϕbig(f)=(IP)(ϕf) and Hϕsmall(f)=Q(ϕf)(fLa2). In this paper, the finite-rank intermediate Hankel operators between Hϕbig and Hϕsmall are studied. We are working on the more general space, that is, the weighted Bergman space.
