Summary: Let $(\Omega_1, \mathcal{F}_1, \mu_1)$ and $(\Omega_2, \mathcal{F}_2, \mu_2)$ be two measure spaces and $1 \leqslant p,q \leqslant +\infty$. We give a definition of Schur multipliers on $\mathcal{B}(L^p(\Omega_1), L^q(\Omega_2))$ which extends the definition of classical Schur multipliers on $\mathcal{B}(\ell_p,\ell_q)$. Our main result is a characterization of Schur multipliers in the case $1\leqslant q \leqslant p \leqslant +\infty$. When $1 < q \leqslant p < +\infty$, $\phi \in L^{\infty}(\Omega_1 \times \Omega_2)$ is a Schur multiplier on $\mathcal{B}(L^p(\Omega_1), L^q(\Omega_2))$ if and only if there are a measure space (a probability space when $p\neq q$) $(\Omega,\mu)$, $a\in L^{\infty}(\mu_1, L^{p}(\mu))$ and $b\in L^{\infty}(\mu_2, L^{q'}(\mu))$ such that, for almost every $(s,t) \in \Omega_1 \times \Omega_2$, \begin{equation*} \phi(s,t)= \langle a(s), b(t) \rangle. \end{equation*} This result is new, even in the classical case. As a consequence, we give new inclusion relationships among the spaces of Schur multipliers on $\mathcal{B}(\ell_p,\ell_q)$.
