Abstract
We derive an asymptotic formula for the argument of a Blaschke product in the upper half-plane with purely imaginary zeros. We then use this formula to find conditions for the quotient of two such Blaschke products to be continuous on the real line. These results are applied to certain Hankel and Toeplitz operators arising in the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Our main theorems include certain compactness conditions for Hankel operators and invertibility conditions for Toeplitz operators with oscillating symbols containing such quotients. As a by-product we obtain a well-posedness result for the Korteweg-de Vries equation.
