Abstract

Let HH^\infty denote the algebra of all bounded analytic functions on the unit disk. It is well-known that every (algebra) automorphism of HH^\infty is a composition operator induced by disc automorphism. Maurya et al., (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 530 : Paper No: 127698, 2024) proved that every automorphism of the subalgebras {fH:f(0)=0}\{f\in H^\infty : f(0) = 0\} or {fH:f(0)=0}\{f\in H^\infty : f'(0) = 0\} is a composition operator induced by a rotation. In this article, we give very simple proof of their results. As an interesting generalization, for any ψH\psi\in H^\infty, we show that every automorphism of ψH\psi H^\infty must be a composition operator and characterize all such composition operators. Using this characterization, we find all automorphism of ψH\psi H^\infty for few choices of ψ\psi with various nature depending on its zeros.
