Fractional Volterra-type operator induced by radial weight acting on Hardy space

Abstract

Given a radial doubling weight $μ$ on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane and its odd moments $μ_{2n+1}=\int_0^1 s^{2n+1}μ(s)\, ds$, we consider the fractional derivative $$ D^μ(f)(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{\widehat{f}(n)}{μ_{2n+1}}z^n, $$ of a function $ f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\widehat{f}(n)z^n$ analytic in $\mathbb{D}$. We also consider the fractional integral operator $I^μ(f)(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} μ_{2n+1}\widehat{f}(n)z^n$, and the fractional Volterra-type operator $$ V_{μ,g}(f)(z)= I^μ(f\cdot D^μ(g))(z),\quad f\in\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{D}), $$ for any fixed $g\in\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{D})$. We prove that $V_{μ,g}$ is bounded (compact) on a Hardy space $H^p$, $0<p<\infty$, if and only if $g$ belongs to $\text{BMOA}$ ($\text{VMOA}$). Moreover, if $\int_0^1 \frac{\left(\int_r^1 μ(s)\, ds\right)^p}{(1-r)^2}\,dr=+\infty$, we prove that $V_{μ,g}$ belongs to the Schatten class $S_p(H^2)$ if and only if $g=0$. On the other hand, if $\frac{\left(\int_r^1 μ(s)\, ds\right)^p}{(1-r)^2}$ is a radial doubling weight it is proved that $V_{μ,g} \in S_p(H^2)$ if and only if $g$ belongs to the Besov space $B_p$. En route, we obtain descriptions of $H^p$, $\text{BMOA}$, $\text{VMOA}$ and $B_p$ in terms of the fractional derivative $D^μ$.
