Norm of the generalized Hilbert operator on Hardy spaces
We study the generalized Hilbert operator \[ \mathcal{H}_b f(z)=\int_0^1 f(t)\,\frac{(1-t)^b}{(1-tz)^{b+1}}\,dt, \qquad b>0, \] acting on the Hardy spaces $H^p$ for $1\leq p\leq \infty$. We establish the precise operator norm \[ \|\mathcal{H}_b\|_{H^p\to H^p}=B\!\left(\frac1p,b+1-\frac1p\right) \] for every $1<p<\infty...
