Compactness of composition operators on the Bergman space of the bidisc

Complex Variables 2025-07-22 v3 Functional Analysis

Abstract

Let φ\varphi be a holomorphic self map of the bidisc that is Lipschitz on the closure. We show that the composition operator CφC_{\varphi} is compact on the Bergman space if and only if φ(D2)T2=\varphi(\overline{\mathbb{D}^2})\cap \mathbb{T}^2=\emptyset and φ(D2T2)bD2=\varphi(\overline{\mathbb{D}^2}\setminus \mathbb{T}^2)\cap b\mathbb{D}^2=\emptyset.
