In this work we study the essential spectra of composition operators on Hardy spaces of analytic functions which might be termed as "quasi-parabolic". This is the class of composition operators on H^{2} with symbols whose conjugate with the Cayley transform on the upper half-plane are of the form ϕ(z) = z+ψ(z) where ψ\in H^{2}(\mathbb{H}) and \Im(ψ(z)) >δ> 0. We especially examine the case where ψis discontinuous at infinity. A new method is devised to show that this type of composition operators fall in a C*-algebra of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers. This method enables us to provide new examples of essentially normal composition operators and to calculate their essential spectra.
This work is a generalization of the results in [Gul] to bi-disc case. As in [Gul], quasi-parabolic composition operators on the Hilbert-Hardy space of the bi-disc are written as a linear combination of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers. The C*-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers on the Hilbert-Hardy space of the bi-disc is written as the tensor product of the similar C*-algebra in one variable with itself. As a result we find a nontrivial set lying inside the essential spectra of quasi-parabolic composition operators.
In this paper we initiate the study of composition operators on the noncommutative Hardy space $H^2_{\bf ball}$. Several classical results about composition operators (boundedness, norm estimates, spectral properties, compactness, similarity) have free analogues in our noncommutative multivariable setting. The most prominent feature of this paper is the interaction between the noncommutative analytic function theory in the unit ball of $B(\cH)^n$, the operator algebras generated by the left creation operators on the full Fock space with $n$ generators, and the classical complex function theory…
In this paper, we investigate weighted composition, Volterra and Integral operators on second derivative Hardy spaces. Some equivalent conditions for boundedness of the operators will be given using the boundedness on the Hardy spaces. Also we give a criteria for compactness of weighted composition operators.
We study the composition operators of the Hardy space on D $\infty$ $\cap$ {\ell} 1 , the {\ell} 1 part of the infinite polydisk, and the behavior of their approximation numbers.
In this paper, we investigate the conditions under which the Toeplitz Composition operator on the Hardy space $\mathcal{H}^2$ becomes complex symmetric with respect to a certain conjugation. We also study various normality conditions for the Toeplitz Composition operator on $\mathcal{H}^2$.
In this paper we study the self-adjoint and co-isometry composition and weighted composition operator on $H_E(ζ).$ We also discuss the conditions under which adjoint operator of a composition and weighted composition operator on $H_E(ζ)$ to be some composition and weighted composition operator, respectively.
We consider the products of composition and differentiation operators on the Hardy space. We provide a complete characterization of the boundedness and compactness of these operators. Furthermore, we obtain the explicit condition for these operators to be Hilbert-Schmidt operators.
In this paper, new equivalence theorems for the boundedness of the composition of a quasilinear operator $T$ with the Hardy and Copson operators in weighted Lebesgue spaces are proved. The usefulness of the obtained results is illustrated in the case of weighted Hardy-type and weighted iterated Hardy-type inequalities.
In this paper, we introduce a discrete analogue of weighted Hardy spaces on rooted trees and study weighted composition operators between them in detail. In particular, we characterize bounded and compact weighted composition operators between discrete Hardy spaces. We also consider isometric weighted composition operators between these spaces.
In this paper, we study the basic properties such as boundedness and compactness of composition operators on discrete analogue of generalized Hardy space defined on a homogeneous rooted tree. Also, we compute the operator norm of composition operator when inducing symbol is automorphism of a homogenous tree.
It is known, from results of B. MacCluer and J. Shapiro (1986), that every composition operator which is compact on the Hardy space $H^p$, $1 \leq p < \infty$, is also compact on the Bergman space ${\mathfrak B}^p = L^p_a (\D)$. In this survey, after having described the above known results, we consider Hardy-Orlicz $H^Ψ$ and Bergman-Orlicz ${\mathfrak B}^Ψ$ spaces, characterize the compactness of their composition operators, and show that there exist Orlicz functions for which there are composition operators which are compact on $H^Ψ$ but not on ${\mathfrak B}^Ψ$.
We compare the compactness of composition operators on $H^2$ and on Orlicz-Hardy spaces $H^Ψ$. We show in particular that exists an Orlicz function $Ψ$ such that $H^{3+\eps} \subseteq H^Ψ\subseteq H^3$ for every $\eps >0$, and a composition operator $C_ϕ$ which is compact on $H^3$ and on $H^{3+\eps}$, but not compact on $H^Ψ$.
We compute the spectra and the essential spectra of bounded linear fractional composition operators acting on the Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces of the upper half-plane. We are also able to extend the results to weighted Dirichlet spaces of the upper half-plane.
In this paper, we completely characterize the order boundedness of weighted composition operators between different weighted Dirichlet spaces and different derivative Hardy spaces.
We generalize, on one hand, some results known for composition operators on Hardy spaces to the case of Hardy-Orlicz spaces $H^Ψ$: construction of a "slow" Blaschke product giving a non-compact composition operator on $H^Ψ$; construction of a surjective symbol whose composition operator is compact on $H^Ψ$ and, moreover, is in all the Schatten classes $S_p (H^2)$, $p > 0$. On the other hand, we revisit the classical case of composition operators on $H^2$, giving first a new, and simplier, characterization of closed range composition operators, and then showing directly the equivalence of the t…
We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the composition and weighted composition operator and product of composition operators to be isometry and unitary on $H_{E}(ξ).$ With the help of counter example we also prove that the product of two non isometric composition operator and weighted composition operator can be isometry on $H_{E}(ξ)$. We also completely characterize the boundedness of generalized weighted composition operators on $H_{E}(ξ).$
We complete the different cases remaining in the estimation of the essential norm of a weighted composition operator acting between the Hardy spaces $H^p$ and $H^q$ for $1\leq p,q\leq\infty.$ In particular we give some estimates for the cases $1=p\leq q\leq\infty$ and $1\leq q<p\leq\infty.$
In this paper we prove an invertibility criterion for certain operators which is given as a linear algebraic combination of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers acting on the Hardy space of the unit disc. Very similar to the case of Toeplitz operators we prove that such operators are invertible if and only if they are Fredholm and their Fredholm index is zero. As an application we prove that for "quasi-parabolic" composition operators the spectra and the essential spectra are equal.
We investigate composition operators on Hardy-Orlicz spaces when the Orlicz function $Ψ$ grows rapidly: compactness, weak compactness, to be $p$-summing, order bounded,..., and show how these notions behave according to the growth of $Ψ$. We introduce an adapted version of Carleson measure. We construct various examples showing that our results are essentially sharp. In the last part, we study the case of Bergman-Orlicz spaces.
In this paper, we consider the sum of weighted composition operator $C_{ψ_{0},φ_{0}}$ and the weighted composition--differentiation operator $D_{ψ_{n},φ_{n},n}$ on the Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces. We describe the spectrum of a compact operator $C_{ψ_{0},φ_{0}}+D_{ψ_{n},φ_{n},n}$ when the fixed point $w$ of $φ_{0}$ and $φ_{n}$ is inside the open unit disk and $ψ_{n}$ has a zero at $w$ of order at least $n$. Also the lower estimate and the upper estimate on the norm of a weighted composition--differentiation operator on the Hardy space $H^{2}$ are obtained. Furthermore, we determine the no…
It is well known that on the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ or weighted Bergman space $A^2_α(\mathbb{D})$ over the unit disk, the adjoint of a linear fractional composition operator equals the product of a composition operator and two Toeplitz operators. On $S^2(\mathbb{D})$, the space of analytic functions on the disk whose first derivatives belong to $H^2(\mathbb{D})$, Heller showed that a similar formula holds modulo the ideal of compact operators. In this paper we investigate what the situation is like on other weighted Hardy spaces.
The aim of this paper is to study when two composition operators on the Hilbert space of Dirichlet series with square summable coefficients belong to the same component or when their difference is compact. As a corollary we show that if a linear combination of composition operators with polynomial symbols of degree at most 2 is compact, then each composition operator is compact.
In this work, we prove that weak compactness of composition operator on $H^{1}(U^{n})$ coincides with its compactness. We also characterize bounded and compact composition operators on $H^{1}(U^{n}).$\
Let $Ω_1,Ω_2\subset {\mathbb C}$ be bounded domains. Let $ϕ:Ω_1\rightarrow Ω_2$ holomorphic in $Ω_1$ and belonging to $W^{1,\infty}_{Ω_2}(Ω_1)$. We study the composition operators $f\mapsto f\circϕ$ on generalized Hardy spaces on $Ω_2$, recently considered in \cite{bfl, BLRR}. In particular, we provide necessary and/or sufficient conditions on $ϕ$, depending on the geometry of the domains, ensuring that these operators are bounded, invertible, isometric or compact. Some of our results are new even for Hardy spaces of analytic functions.
We study when multiplication by a weight can turn a non-compact composition operator on H 2 into a compact operator, and when it can be in Schatten classes. The q-summing case in H p is considered. We also study when this multiplication can turn a compact composition operator into a non-compact one. MSC 2010 primary: 47B33 ; secondary: 46B28
We identify the semigroups consisting of bounded composition operators on the Hardy spaces $H^p(\U)$ of the upper half-plane. We show that any such semigroup is strongly continuous on $H^p(\U)$ but not uniformly continuous and we identify the infinitesimal generator.
In this paper, we investigate when weighted composition operators acting on Dirichlet spaces $\mathcal{D}(\mathbb{B}_{N})$ are complex symmetric with respect to some special conjugations, and provide some characterizations of Hermitian weighted composition operators on $\mathcal{D}(\mathbb{B}_{N})$. Furthermore, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for $J$-symmetric weighted composition operators on Hardy spaces $H^2(\mathbb{B}_{N})$ to be unitary or Hermitian, then some new examples of complex symmetric weighted composition operators on $H^2(\mathbb{B}_{N})$ are obtained. We also disc…
In this paper, the boundedness and compactness of the difference of composition-differentiation operators $D_φ-D_ψ$ acting from Hardy spaces $H^p$ to weighted Bergman spaces $A^q_α$ are completely characterize for all $0<p,q<\infty$.
This paper provides a class of complex symmetric weighted composition operators on $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ to includes the unitary subclass, the Hermitian subclass and the normal subclass obtained by Bourdon and Noor. A characterization of algebraic weighted composition operator with degree no more than two is provided to illustrate that the weight function of a complex symmetric weighted composition operator is not necessarily linear fractional. \end{abstract}
We construct an analytic self-map $Φ$ of the bidisk ${\mathbb D}^2$ whose image touches the distinguished boundary, but whose approximation numbers of the associated composition operator on $H^2 ({\mathbb D}^2)$ are small in the sense that $\limsup_{n \to \infty} [a_{n^2} (C_Φ)]^{1 / n} < 1$.
We show that the already known results for a composition operator to have closed range on H2 (Cima, Thomson, and Wogen (1974), Zorboska (1994)) can be extended to Hp for p>0 .
Building on techniques used in the case of the disc, we use a variety of methods to develop formulae for the adjoints of composition operators on Hardy spaces of the upper half-plane. In doing so, we prove a slight extension of a known necessary condition for the boundedness of such operators, and use it to provide a complete classification of the bounded composition operators with rational symbol. We then consider some specific examples, comparing our formulae with each other, and with other easily deduced formulae for simple cases.
In this paper, we give some estimates for the essential norm and a new characterization for the boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators from weighted Bergman spaces and Hardy spaces to the Bloch space.
In this paper, we investigate the normal weighed composition operators $W_{ψ,φ}$ which is $\mathcal{J}-$symmetric, $\mathcal{C}_1-$symmetric and $\mathcal{C}_2-$symmetric on the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ respectively. Firstly, equivalent conditions of the normality of $\mathcal{C}_1-$symmetric and $\mathcal{C}_2-$symmetric weighted composition operators on $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ is given. Furthermore, the normal $\mathcal{J}-$symmetric, $\mathcal{C}_1-$symmetric and $\mathcal{C}_2-$symmetric weighted composition operators on $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ when $φ$ has an interior fixed point, $φ$ is of hype…
In the present paper, we study the composition operators acting on weighted Hardy spaces of polynomial growth, which are concerned with norms, spectra and (semi-)Fredholmness. Firstly, we estimate the norms of the composition operators with symbols of disk automorphisms. Secondly, we discuss the spectra of the composition operators with symbols of disk automorphisms. In particular, it is proven of that the spectrum of a composition operator with symbol of any parabolic disk automorphism is always the unit circle. Thirdly, we consider the Fredholmness of the composition operator $C_φ$ with symb…
Using recent characterizations of the compactness of composition operators on Hardy-Orlicz and Bergman-Orlicz spaces on the ball, we first show that a composition operator which is compact on every Hardy-Orlicz (or Bergman-Orlicz) space has to be compact on H^{\infty}. Then, we prove that, for each Koranyi region Γ, there exists a map ϕtaking the ball into Γsuch that, C_ϕ is not compact on H^ψ\left(\mathbb{B}_{N}\right), when ψgrows fast. Finally, we give another characterization of the compactness of composition operator on weighted Bergman-Orlicz spaces in terms of an Orlicz "Angular derivat…
We prove that a composition operator is bounded on the Hardy space $H^2$ of the right half-plane if and only if the inducing map fixes the point at infinity non-tangentially, and has a finite angular derivative $λ$ there. In this case the norm, essential norm, and spectral radius of the operator are all equal to $\sqrtλ$.
We define Hardy spaces $\mathcal{H}^p$ for quasiregular mappings in the plane, and show that for a particular class of these mappings many of the classical properties that hold in the classical setting of analytic mappings still hold. This particular class of quasiregular mappings can be characterised in terms of composition operators when the symbol is quasiconformal. Relations between Carleson measures and Hardy spaces play an important role in the discussion. This program was initiated and developed for Hardy spaces of quasiconformal mappings by Astala and Koskela in 2011 in their paper $\m…
We characterize the (essentially) decreasing sequences of positive numbers $β$ = ($β$ n) for which all composition operators on H 2 ($β$) are bounded, where H 2 ($β$) is the space of analytic functions f in the unit disk such that $\infty$ n=0 |c n | 2 $β$ n < $\infty$ if f (z) = $\infty$ n=0 c n z n. We also give conditions for the boundedness when $β$ is not assumed essentially decreasing.
By using the Schur test, we give some upper and lower estimates on the norm of a composition operator on $\mathcal{H}^2$, the space of Dirichlet series with square summable coefficients, for the inducing symbol $φ(s)=c_1+c_{q}q^{-s}$ where $q\geq 2$ is a fixed integer. We also give an estimate on the approximation numbers of such an operator.
We give examples of composition operators $C\_Φ$ on $H^2 (\D^2)$ showing that the condition $\|Φ\|\_\infty = 1$ is not sufficient for their approximation numbers $a\_n (C\_Φ)$ to satisfy $\lim\_{n \to \infty} [a\_n (C\_Φ) ]^{1/\sqrt{n}} = 1$, contrary to the $1$-dimensional case. We also give a situation where this implication holds. We make a link with the Monge-Ampère capacity of the image of $Φ$.
In this paper, we investigate the complex symmetric structure of generalized weighted composition operators $D_{m,ψ,φ}$ on the weighted Hardy space $H^2(β)$. We obtain explicit conditions for $ D_{m,ψ,φ}$ to be complex symmetric with the conjugation $J_w$. Under the assumption that $ D_{m,ψ,φ}$ is $J_w$-symmetric, some sufficient and necessary conditions for $D_{m,ψ,φ}$ to be Hermitian and normal are given.
We prove that the weighted composition operator $W_{ϕ,φ}$ fixes an isomorphic copy of $\ell^p$ if the operator $W_{ϕ,φ}$ is not compact on the derivative Hardy space $S^p$. In particular, this implies that the strict singularity of the operator $W_{ϕ,φ}$ coincides with the compactness of it on $S^p$. Moreover, when $p\neq2$, we characterize the conditions for those weighted composition operators $W_{ϕ,φ}$ on $S^p$ which fix an isomorphic copy of $\ell^2$ .
If $ψ$ is analytic on the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ and $φ$ is an analytic self-map of $\mathbb{D}$, the weighted composition operator $C_{ψ,φ}$ is defined by $C_{ψ,φ}f(z)=ψ(z)f (φ(z))$, when $f$ is analytic on $\mathbb{D}$. In this paper, we study normal, cohyponormal, hyponormal and normaloid weighted composition operators on the Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces. First, for some weighted Hardy spaces $H^{2}(β)$, we prove that if $C_{ψ,φ}$ is cohyponormal on $H^{2}(β)$, then $ψ$ never vanishes on $\mathbb{D}$ and $φ$ is univalent, when $ψ\not \equiv 0$ and $φ$ is not a constant function. M…
We show that there exist non-compact composition operators in the connected component of the compact ones on the classical Hardy space $H^2$ on the unit disc. This answers a question posed by Shapiro and Sundberg in 1990. We also establish an improved version of a theorem of MacCluer, giving a lower bound for the essential norm of a difference of composition operators in terms of the angular derivatives of their symbols. As a main tool we use Aleksandrov-Clark measures.
Suppose $n\geq 3$ and let $B$ be the open unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Let $φ: B\to B$ be a $C^2$ map whose Jacobian does not change sign, and let $ψ$ be a $C^2$ function on $B$. We characterize bounded weighted composition operators $W_{φ,ψ}$ acting on harmonic Hardy spaces $h^p(B)$. In addition, we compute the operator norm of $W_{φ,ψ}$ on $h^p(B)$ when $φ$ is a Möbius transformation of $B$.
In this paper we propose a different (and equivalent) norm on $S^{2} ({\mathbb{D}})$ which consists of functions whose derivatives are in the Hardy space of unit disk. The reproducing kernel of $S^{2}({\mathbb{D}})$ in this norm admits an explicit form, and it is a complete Nevanlinna-Pick kernel. Furthermore, there is a surprising connection of this norm with $3$ -isometries. We then study composition and multiplication operators on this space. Specifically, we obtain an upper bound for the norm of $C_φ$ for a class of composition operators. We completely characterize multiplication operators…
We consider the invariant subspace of composition operators on Hardy space $H^p$ where the composition operators corresponding to a function $φ$ that is a holomorphic self-map of $\mathbb D$. Firstly, we discuss composition operators $C_φ$ on subspace $H_{α,β}^p$ of Hardy space $H^p$. We will explore the invariant subspaces for $C_φ$ in various special cases. Secondly, we consider Beurling type invariant subspace for $C_φ$. When $θ$ is a inner function, we prove that $θH^p$ is invariant for $C_φ$ if and only if $\displaystyle{\frac{θ\circφ}θ}$ belongs to $\mathcal S(\mathbb D)$. Thirdly, we ob…
In this paper, we investigate the spectra of invertible weighted composition operators with automorphism symbols, on Hardy space $H^2(\mathbb{B}_N)$ and weighted Bergman spaces $A_α^2(\mathbb{B}_N)$, where $\mathbb{B}_N$ is the unit ball of the $N$-dimensional complex space. By taking $N=1$, $\mathbb{B}_N=\mathbb{D}$ the unit disc, we also complete the discussion about the spectrum of a weighted composition operator when it is invertible on $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ or $A_α^2(\mathbb{D})$.
In this paper, we study hyponormal weighed composition operators on the Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces. For functions $ψ\in A(\mathbb{D})$ which are not the zero function, we characterize all hyponormal compact weighted composition operators $C_{ψ,φ}$ on $H^{2}$ and $A^{2}_α$. Next, we show that for $φ\in \mbox{LFT}(\mathbb{D})$, if $C_φ$ is hyponormal on $H^{2}$ or $A^{2}_α$, then $φ(z)=λz$, where $|λ| \leq 1$ or $φ$ is a hyperbolic non-automorphism with $φ(0)=0$ and such that $φ$ has another fixed point in $\partial \mathbb{D}$. After that, we find the essential spectral radius of $C_φ$ o…
We present the upper bound of the essential norm of the composition operator over the Polylogarithmic Hardy space PL2(D;s).The results involve the Nevanlinna counting function for PL2(D;s). We first prove the Littlewood-Paley Identity for PL2(D;s) which leads to the Nevanlinna counting function for PL2(D;s). With all these results, not only we get the upper bound of the essential norm of the composition operator over PL2(D;s) but also we get an upper bound in terms of the angular derivative and essential norm of composition operator over the Hardy space H2.
