The adjoint of a composition operator via its action on the Szegő kernel

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.

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.

Suppose $\\varphi$ is an analytic self-map of open unit disk $\\mathbf{D}$ and $\\psi$ is an analytic function on $\\mathbf{D}$. Then a weighted composition operator induced by $\\varphi$ with weight $\\psi$ is given by $(W_{\\psi, \\varphi}f)(z)= \\psi(z)f(\\varphi(z))$, for $z \\in \\mathbf{D}$ and $f$ analytic on $\\mathbf{D}$. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the boundedness and compactness of the weighted composition operators $W_{\\psi, \\varphi}$. In terms of fixed points in the closed unit disk $\\overline{\\mathbf{D}}$, conditions under which $W_{\\psi, \\varphi}$ is compact are given. Necessary conditions for the compactness of $C_{\\varphi}$ are given in terms of the angular derivative $\\varphi^{\\prime}(\\zeta)$ where $\\zeta$ is on the boundary of the unit disk. Moreover, we present sufficient conditions for the membership of composition operators in the Schatten $p$-class $S_{p}(H^s(\\beta_1), H^q(\\beta_2))$, where the inducing map has supremum norm strictly smaller than~$1$.

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.

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

In this paper we discuss some basic properties of octonionic Bergman and Hardy spaces. In the first part we review some fundamental concepts of the general theory of octonionic Hardy and Bergman spaces together with related reproducing kernel functions in the monogenic setting. We explain how some of the fundamental problems in well-defining a reproducing kernel can be overcome in the non-associative setting by looking at the real part of an appropriately defined para-linear octonion-valued inner product. The presence of a weight factor of norm 1 in the definition of the inner product is an intrinsic new ingredient in the octonionic setting. Then we look at the slice monogenic octonionic setting using the classical complex book structure. We present explicit formulas for the slice monogenic reproducing kernels for the unit ball, the right octonionic half-space and strip domains bounded in the real direction. In the setting of the unit ball we present an explicit sequential characterization which can be obtained by applying the special Taylor series representation of the slice monogenic setting together with particular octonionic calculation rules that reflect the property of octonionic para-linearity.
