Integral representations of closed operators as bi-Carleman operators with arbitrarily smooth kernels

Abstract

In this paper, we characterize all closed linear operators in a separable Hilbert space which are unitarily equivalent to an integral bi-Carleman operator in $L_2(R)$ with bounded and arbitrarily smooth kernel on $R^2$. In addition, we give an explicit construction of corresponding unitary operators. The main result is a qualitative sharpening of an earlier result of [5].
