          In the late 1980s, Berger and Coburn showed that the Hankel operator $H_f$ on the Segal-Bargmann space of Gaussian square-integrable entire functions is compact if and only if $H_{\bar f}$ is compact using C*-algebra and Hilbert space techniques. I will briefly discuss this and three other proofs, and then consider the question of whether an analogous phenomenon holds for Schatten class Hankel operators.
