Abstract

A λ\lambda-Hankel operator XX is a bounded operator on Hilbert space satisfying the operator equation SXXS=λXS*X–XS = \lambda X, where SS is the (unilateral) forward shift and SS* is its adjoint. We prove that there are non-compact λ\lambda-Hankel operators for λ\lambda a complex number of modulus less than 2, by first exhibiting a way to obtain bounded solutions to the above equation by associating to it a Carleson measure. We then show that an interpolating sequence can be given such that the λ\lambda-Hankel operator associated with the Carleson measure given by the interpolating sequence is non-compact.
