Fredholm Weighted Composition Operators on Dirichlet Space

Let H be a Hilbert space of analytic functions on the unit disk D. For an analytic function ψ on D, we can define the multiplication operator Mψ : f → ψf, f ∈ H. For an analytic selfmapping φ of D, the composition operator Cφ defined on H as Cφf f ◦ φ, f ∈ H. These operators are two classes of important operators in the study of operator theory in function spaces 1–3 . Furthermore, for ψ and φ,...

On reducibility of weighted composition operators

In this paper, we study two types of the reducing subspaces for the weighted composition operator $W: frightarrow ucdot fcirc varphi$ on $L^2(Sigma)$. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for $W$ to possess the reducing subspaces of the form $L^2(Sigma_B)$ where $Bin Sigma_{sigma(u)}$. Moreover, we pose some necessary and some sufficient conditions under which the subspaces of the form...

Isometric weighted composition operators

A composition operator is an operator on a space of functions defined on the same set. Its action is by composition to the right with a fixed selfmap of that set. A composition operator followed by a multiplication operator is called a weighted composition operator. In this paper, we study when weighted composition operators on the Hilbert Hardy space of the open unit disc are isometric. We fin...

A Note on Weighted Composition Operators on L^p-Spaces

Spectra of Some Composition Operators and Associated Weighted Composition Operators

We characterize the spectrum and essential spectrum of “essentially linear fractional” composition operators acting on the Hardy space H2(U) of the open unit disc U. When the symbols of these composition operators have Denjoy-Wolff point on the unit circle, the spectrum and essential spectrum coincide. Our work permits us to describe the spectrum and essential spectrum of certain associated wei...
