It is observed that the infinite matrix with entries for b34e4b9636639" title="Click to view the MathML source">m,n≥2 appears as the matrix of the integral operator with respect to the basis (n−s)n≥2; here ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta function and H is defined on the Hilbert space of Dirichlet series vanishing at +∞ and with square-summable coefficients. This infinite matrix defines a multiplicative Hankel operator according to Helson's terminology or, alternatively, it can be viewed as a bona fide (small) Hankel operator on the infinite-dimensional torus T∞. By analogy with the standard integral representation of the classical Hilbert matrix, this matrix is referred to as the multiplicative Hilbert matrix. It is shown that its norm equals π and that it has a purely continuous spectrum which is the interval [0,π]; these results are in agreement with known facts about the classical Hilbert matrix. It is shown that the matrix (m1/pn(p−1)/plog(mn))−1 has norm π/sin(π/p) when acting on ℓp for 1<p<∞. However, the multiplicative Hilbert matrix fails to define a bounded operator on for p≠2, where are Hp spaces of Dirichlet series. It remains an interesting problem to decide whether the analytic symbol ∑n≥2(logn)−1n−s−1/2 of the multiplicative Hilbert matrix arises as the Riesz projection of a bounded function on the infinite-dimensional torus T∞.
