The classical Hankel matrix and the negative-mode flip #
The unitary hardyFlip from Hardy.Basic sends the negative Fourier mode e₋ₙ₋₁
to eₙ. Composing it with the existing, orthogonal-complement-valued Hankel operator
of the reflected symbol gives classicalHankel a, whose matrix is â(i + j + 1).
This comparison fixes the reflection convention in products of classical Hankel
matrices. In particular, the Toeplitz product defect is the negative of
classicalHankel a ∘ classicalHankel (b ∘ Neg.neg). These are the Hankel operators
used in finite Toeplitz product identities.
