Operators of Hilbert type acting on some spaces of analytic functions

Abstract: Let $H(\mathbb{D})$ be the space of all analytic functions in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$. For $g\in H(\mathbb{D})$, the generalized Hilbert operator $\mathcal{H}{g}$ is defined by $$\mathcal{H}{g}(f)(z)=\int_{0}^{1}f(t)g'(tz)dt, \ \ z\in \mathbb{D}, f\in H(\mathbb{D}).$$ In this paper, we study the operator $\mathcal{H}{g}$ acting on some spaces of analytic functions in $\mathbb{D}$. Specifically, we give a complete characterization of those $g\in H(\mathbb{D})$ for which the operator $\mathcal{H}{g}$ is bounded (resp. compact) from the Dirichlet space $\mathcal{D}^{2}_α$ to $\mathcal{D}^{2}_β$ for all possible indicators $α,β\in \mathbb{R}$. We also study the action of the operator $\mathcal{H}{g}$ on the space of bounded analytic functions $H^{\infty}$, which generalizes the known results for the classical Hilbert operator $\mathcal {H}$ acting on $H^{\infty}$. In particular, we consider the boundedness of the operator $\mathcal{H}{g}$ with a symbol of non-negative Taylor coefficients, acting on logarithmic Bloch spaces and on Korenblum spaces. This work generalizes the corresponding results for the classical Hilbert operator.
