Spectra of Some Weighted Composition Operators on $H^2$

Functional Analysis 2017-05-17 v1

Abstract

We completely characterize the spectrum of a weighted composition operator Wψ,φW_{\psi, \varphi} on H2(D)H^{2}(\mathbb{D}) when φ\varphi has Denjoy-Wolff point aa with 0<φ(a)<10<|\varphi '(a)|< 1, the iterates, φn\varphi_{n}, converge uniformly to aa, and ψ\psi is in H(D)H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D}) and continuous at aa. We also give bounds and some computations when a=1|a|=1 and φ(a)=1\varphi '(a)=1 and, in addition, show that these symbols include all linear fractional φ\varphi that are hyperbolic and parabolic non-automorphisms. Finally, we use these results to eliminate possible weights ψ\psi so that Wψ,φW_{\psi, \varphi} is seminormal.
