Looking for properties of this family of operators on Hilbert Spaces

68 Views Asked by At

I'm hoping this is the correct place to post this. The context of this question is from physics but my question is purely mathematical. For some background, I am researching Von-Neumann Entropy in 1-dimensional boson models, and I have come across the following operator on $L^2(\mathbb{C}^2)$:

$$ L_G(f)=\int_A f(x_1,y)G(y,x_2)dy $$ where $A$ is some compact set and $G$ is some given element of $L^2(\mathbb{C}^2)$.

My question is as follows: Is this a well-studied operator? If so, where can I read about its properties? Any information on such operators would be highly useful. Thanks.
