Strongly mixing operators on Hilbert spaces and speed of mixing

Abstract

We investigate the subject of speed of mixing for operators on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces which are strongly mixing with respect to a nondegenerate Gaussian measure. We prove that there is no way to find a uniform speed of mixing for all square-integrable functions. We give classes of regular functions for which the sequence of correlations decreases to zero with speed n-α when the eigenvectors associated to unimodular eigenvalues of the operator are parametrized by an α-H\"olderian T-eigenvector field.
