The spectrum of some Hardy kernel matrices


الملخص بالإنكليزية

For $alpha > 0$ we consider the operator $K_alpha colon ell^2 to ell^2$ corresponding to the matrix [left(frac{(nm)^{-frac{1}{2}+alpha}}{[max(n,m)]^{2alpha}}right)_{n,m=1}^infty.] By interpreting $K_alpha$ as the inverse of an unbounded Jacobi matrix, we show that the absolutely continuous spectrum coincides with $[0, 2/alpha]$ (multiplicity one), and that there is no singular continuous spectrum. There is a finite number of eigenvalues above the continuous spectrum. We apply our results to demonstrate that the reproducing kernel thesis does not hold for composition operators on the Hardy space of Dirichlet series $mathscr{H}^2$.
