Abstract. We consider Hankel operators of the form H z k : F m := {f : f is entire and C n |f (z)| 2 e −|z| m < ∞} → L 2 (e −|z| m ). Here k, m, n ∈ N. We show that in the case of one complex dimension the Hankel operators are compact but not Hilbert-Schmidt if m > 2k.
PreliminariesThe investigation of Hankel operators on the Bergman space of certain domains Ω has a long history. See, for example, [24] and [25]. Furthermore, there have been some attempts to characterize compactness of Hankel operators on L 2 spaces of entire functions. In [26] the case of essentially bounded symbols is considered. This has the advantage that the corresponding Hankel operator is bounded.There are interesting connections between the theory of partial differential equations and the theory of Hankel operators. In [12] it is shown that the canonical solution operator to ∂ restricted to (0, 1)-forms with coefficients in the spaces of holomorphic functions that are square integrable with respect to the weight function e We want to investigate operators of the formHere P denotes the Bergman projection
