Abstract

We consider weighted composition operators, that is operators of the type gwgfg \mapsto w \cdot g \circ f, acting on spaces of Lipschitz functions. Bounded weighted composition operators, as well as some compact weighted composition operators, have been characterized quite recently. In this paper, we provide a different approach involving their pre-adjoint operators, namely the weighted Lipschitz operators acting on Lipschitz free spaces. This angle allows us to improve some results from the literature. Notably, we obtain a distinct characterization of boundedness with a precise estimate of the norm. We also characterise injectivity, surjectivity, compactness and weak compactness in full generality.
