Integral Operators Between Fock Spaces∗

In this paper, the authors study the integral operator Sφf(z) = Z C φ(z, w)f(w)dλα(w) induced by a kernel function φ(z, ·) ∈ F ∞α between Fock spaces. For 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, they prove that Sφ : F 1 α → F p α is bounded if and only if sup a∈C kSφkakp,α < ∞, (?) where ka is the normalized reproducing kernel of F 2 α; and, Sφ : F 1 α → F p α is compact if and only if lim |a|→∞ kSφkakp,α = 0. When 1 < q ≤ ∞, it is also proved that the condition (?) is not sufficient for boundedness of Sφ : F q α → F p α . In the particular case φ(z, w) = eαzw?(z ? w) with ? ∈ F 2 α, for 1 ≤ q < p < ∞, they show that Sφ : F p α → F q α is bounded if and only if ? = 0; for 1 < p ≤ q < ∞, they give sufficient conditions for the boundedness or compactness of the operator Sφ : F p α → F q α.
