Composition operators in Bergman spaces on bounded symmetric domains

The topological structure of the set of (weighted) composition operators has been studied on various function spaces on the unit disc such as Hardy spaces, the space of bounded holomorphic functions, weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions with sup-norm, Hilbert Bergman spaces. In this paper we consider this problem for all Bergman spaces $$A_{\alpha }^p$$ with $$p \in (0, \infty )$$ and $$ \alpha \in (-1, \infty )$$ . In this setting we establish a criterion for two composition operators to be linearly connected in the space of composition operators; furthermore, for the space of weighted composition operators, we prove that the set of compact weighted composition operators is path connected, but it is not a component.

On the Bergman space in the unit disk, we study the intertwining relation for Volterra type operators, whose intertwining operator is a composition operator. We also investigate the “compact” intertwining relations for Volterra type operators. As obvious consequences, the essential commutativity of Volterra type and composition operators are characterized. At the end of the paper, we find a new connection between the Bergman space and little Bloch space through this essential commutativity.

Let \Omega be a subdomain of \mathbb{C} and let \mu be a positive Borel measure on \Omega . In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues of compact Toeplitz operators T_\mu acting on Bergman spaces on \Omega . Let (\lambda _n(T_\mu)) be the decreasing sequence of the eigenvalues of T_\mu , and let \rho be an increasing function such that \rho (n)/n^A is decreasing for some A>0 . We give an explicit necessary and sufficient geometric condition on \mu in order to have \lambda _n(T_\mu)\asymp 1/\rho (n) . As applications, we consider composition operators C_\varphi , acting on some standard analytic spaces on the unit disc \mathbb{D} . First, we give a general criterion ensuring that the singular values of C_\varphi satisfy s_n(C_\varphi ) \asymp 1/\rho(n) . Next, we focus our attention on composition operators with univalent symbols, where we express our general criterion in terms of the harmonic measure of \varphi (\mathbb{D}) . We finally study the case where \partial \varphi (\mathbb{D}) meets the unit circle in one point and give several concrete examples. Our method is based on upper and lower estimates of the trace of h(T_\mu) , where h is a suitable concave or convex function.

The adjoint of the classic composition operator on the Hardy space of the unit disc determined by a holomorphic self map of the unit disc is well known to send the Szegő kernel function associated to a point in the unit disc to the Szegő kernel associated to the image of that point under the self map. The purpose of this paper is to show that a constructive proof that holomorphic functions that extend past the boundary can be well approximated by complex linear combinations of the Szegő kernel function gives an explicit formula for the adjoint of a composition operator that yields a new way of looking at these objects and provides inspiration for new ways of thinking about operators that act on linear spans of the Szegő kernel. Composition operators associated to multivalued self mappings will arise naturally, and out of necessity. A parallel set of ideas will be applied to composition operators on the Bergman space.

In this paper we study bounded and compact weighted composition operator, induced by a fixed analytic function and an analytic self-map of the open unit disk, from Bergman space into weighted Bloch space. As a corollary, obtain the characterization of composition operator from Bergman space into weighted Bloch space.

In this paper, we obtain a complete characterization for compact double differences formed by general composition operators on Bergman spaces over the half-plane. As applications, we notice that the famous Moorhouse cancellation property of compact double differences induced by three composition operators cannot occur in our setting. The relationship between angular derivatives and compact double differences of composition operators is also explored, which reveals some new phenomena due to the unboundedness of half-plane.

Chapter 39 Spaces of analytic functions with integral norm

We introduce the scale of weighted Bergman spaces on hyperconvex domains in C n and use the Lelong-Jensen formula to prove some fundamental results about these spaces. In particular, generalizations of such classical results as the Littlewood subordination principle, the Littlewood-Paley identity and the change of variables formula are proven. Geometric properties of the introduced norms are revealed by the Nevanlinna counting function associated with a chosen exhaustion. In the last several sections we prove boundedness and compactness results for composition operators generated by holomorphic mappings of hyperconvex domains.

Closed range composition operators on Hilbert function spaces

In this short paper we will discuss recent advances on the problem of characterizing the boundedness of the composition operator acting on the Bergman spaces A β 2 ( D 2 ) ${A}_{\beta }^{2}\left({\mathbb{D}}^{2}\right)$ whenever the self map Φ of the bidisc is induced by Rational Inner Functions. The problem stated here is submitted as part of the Problem List of the Young Researchers Workshop in Complex Analysis and Operator Theory “The Bench Math Session 2025”, organized in Jagiellonian University of Kraków at 10th–11th February 2025.

The zero sets of the Bergman space A^p_omega induced by either a radial weight omega admitting a certain doubling property or a non-radial Bekollé-Bonami type weight are characterized in the spirit of Luecking’s results from 1996. Accurate results obtained en route to this characterization are used to generalize Horowitz’s factorization result from 1977 for functions in A^p_omega . The utility of the obtained factorization is illustrated by applications to integration and composition operators as well as to small Hankel operator induced by a conjugate analytic symbol. Dominating sets and sampling measures for the weighted Bergman space A^p_omega induced by a doubling weight are also studied. Several open problems related to the scheme of the paper are posed.

In this paper we consider linear operators M ψ C ϕ D and M ψ DC ϕ acting between weighted Bergman spaces, where M ψ , C ϕ and D are multiplication, composition and differentation operators respectively.Our goal is to characterize those holomorphic self maps ϕ of D for which M ψ DC ϕ and M ψ C ϕ D acts boundedly and compactly between weighted Bergman spaces.

We give estimates of the essential norms of weighted composition operators acting between Bergman spaces on strongly pseudoconvex domains. We also characterize boundedness and compactness of these operators.

We prove that the norm of a weighted composition operator on the Hardy space H 2 of the disk is controlled by the norm of the weight function in the de Branges-Rovnyak space as- sociated to the symbol of the composition operator. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of the boundedness of composition operators on H 2 , and recover the standard upper bound for the norm. Sim- ilar arguments apply to weighted Bergman spaces. We also show that the positivity of a generalized de Branges-Rovnyak kernel is sufficient for the boundedness of a given composition operator on the standard functions spaces on the unit ball.
