PROPERTIES OF kth-ORDER (SLANT TOEPLITZ + SLANT HANKEL) OPERATORS ON H2(𝕋)

For two essentially bounded Lebesgue measurable functions 𝜙 and ξ on unit circle 𝕋, we attempt to study properties of operators $S^k_{\mathcal{M}({\phi},{\xi})=S^k_{T_{\phi}}+S^k_{H_{\xi}}$ on H²(𝕋) (k ≥ 2), where $S^k_{T_{\phi}}$ is a k^th-order slant Toeplitz operator with symbol 𝜙 and $S^k_{H_{\xi}}$ is a k^th-order slant Hankel operator with symbol ξ. The spectral properties of operators S^k_{𝓜(𝜙,𝜙)} (or simply S^k_𝓜(𝜙)) are investigated on H²(𝕋). More precisely, it is proved that for k = 2, the Coburn's type theorem holds for S^k_𝓜(𝜙). The conditions under which operators S^k_𝓜(𝜙) commute are also explored.
