We consider Hankel operators on (weighted) Bergman spaces on the unit ball in several complex variables. The main result is several, equivalent, necessary and sufficient conditions for a Hankel operator with analytic symbol to belong to the Schatten-von Neumann ideal Sp.
There is one important difference between our results, and the corresponding results in one variable; if the number of dimensions N is 2 or more, there exist non-trivial Hankel operators with analytic symbols in Sp when p > 2N, but if N = 1, the condition is p > 1.
One ingredient in the proof is an improvement of Russo's condition for integral operators on L2 to belong to Sp.
