Integration operators between Hardy spaces on the unit ball of $\Cn$

Abstract

We completely describe the boundedness of the Volterra type operator $J_ g$ between Hardy spaces in the unit ball of $\Cn$. The proof of the one dimensional case used tools, such as the strong factorization for Hardy spaces, that are not available in higher dimensions, and therefore new techniques are developed. In particular, a generalized version of the description of Hardy spaces in terms of the area function is needed.
