Hankel operators and the Dixmier trace on the Hardy space

We give criteria for the membership of Hankel operators on the Hardy space on the disc in the Dixmier class, and establish estimates for their Dixmier trace. In contrast to the situation in the Bergman space setting, it turns out that there exist Dixmier-class Hankel operators which are not measurable (i.e. their Dixmier trace depends on the choice of the underlying Banach limit), as well as Dixmier-class Hankel operators which do not belong to the $(1,\infty)$ Schatten-Lorentz ideal. A related question concerning logarithmic interpolation of Besov spaces is also discussed.
