Mean Lipschitz spaces and a generalized Hilbert operator

Abstract

If $μ$ is a positive Borel measure on the interval $[0, 1)$ we let $\mathcal H_μ$ be the Hankel matrix $\mathcal H_μ=(μ_{n, k})_{n,k\ge 0}$ with entries $μ_{n, k}=μ_{n+k}$, where, for $n\,=\,0, 1, 2, \dots $, $μ_n$ denotes the moment of order $n$ of $μ$. This matrix induces formally the operator $$\mathcal{H}_μ(f)(z)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\left(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} μ_{n,k}{a_k}\right)z^n$$ on the space of all analytic functions $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_kz^k$, in the unit disc $\mathbb{D} $. This is a natural generalization of the classical Hilbert operator. In this paper we study the action of the operators $\mathcal H_μ$ on mean Lipschitz spaces of analytic functions.
