Tener" ], "comment": "15 pages", "categories": [ "math.FA" ], "abstract": "We study a semigroup of weighted composition operators on the Hardy space of the disk $H^2(\\mathbb{D})$, and more generally on the Hardy space $H^2(U)$ attached to a simply connected domain $U$ with smooth boundary. Motivated by conformal field theory, we establish bounds on the singular values (approximation numbers) of these weighted composition operators. As a byproduct we obtain estimates on the singular values of the restriction operator (embedding operator) $H^2(V) \\to H^2(U)$ when $U \\subset V$ and the boundary of $U$ touches that of $V$. Moreover, using the connection between the weighted composition operators and restriction operators, we show that these operators exhibit an analog of the Fisher-Micchelli phenomenon for non-compact operators.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-12T23:34:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47B33", "81T40", "30H10" ], "keywords": [ "weighted composition operators", "singular values", "second quantization", "hardy space", "restriction operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
