We show that $\\mathbf{T}_g$ is a bounded operator on the Hardy space $\\mathcal{H}^p$ of Dirichlet series with $0 < p < \\infty$ if and only if the symbol $g$ satisfies a Carleson measure condition. When appropriately restricted to one complex variable, our condition coincides with the standard Carleson measure characterization of ${\\operatorname{BMOA}}(\\mathbb{D})$. A further analogy with classical ${\\operatorname{BMO}}$ is that $\\exp(c|g|)$ is integrable (on the infinite polytorus) for some $c > 0$ whenever $\\mathbf{T}_g$ is bounded. In particular, such $g$ belong to $\\mathcal{H}^p$ for every $p < \\infty$. We relate the boundedness of $\\mathbf{T}_g$ to several other ${\\operatorname{BMO}}$ type spaces: ${\\operatorname{BMOA}}$ in half-planes, the dual of $\\mathcal{H}^1$, and the space of symbols of bounded Hankel forms. Moreover, we study symbols whose coefficients enjoy a multiplicative structure and obtain coefficient estimates for $m$-homogeneous symbols as well as for general symbols. Finally, we consider the action of $\\mathbf{T}_g$ on reproducing kernels for appropriate sequences of subspaces of $\\mathcal{H}^2$. Our proofs employ function and operator theoretic techniques in one and several variables; a variety of number theoretic arguments are used throughout the paper in our study of special classes of symbols $g$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-02-15T16:31:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31B10", "30H10", "30B50" ], "keywords": [ "hardy space", "volterra operator", "standard carleson measure characterization", "number theoretic arguments", "dirichlet series symbol" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160204729B" } } }
