We show that there exist non-compact composition operators in the connected component of the compact ones on the classical Hardy space $H^2$ on the unit disc. This answers a question posed by Shapiro and Sundberg in 1990. We also establish…

Let $\phi$ be an analytic map taking the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ into itself. We establish that the class of composition operators $f \mapsto C_\phi(f) = f \circ \phi$ exhibits a rather strong rigidity of non-compact behaviour on the Hardy…

V. Matache (J. Operator Theory 73(1):243--264, 2015) raised an open problem about characterizing composition operators $C_{\phi}$ on the Hardy space $H^2$ and nonzero singular measures $\mu_1$, $\mu_2$ on the unit circle such that…

Let $\varphi$ be a self-map of the unit disk and let $C_\varphi$ denote the composition operator acting on the standard Dirichlet space $\mathcal{D}$. A necessary condition for compactness of a difference of two bounded composition…

For approximation numbers $a_n (C_\phi)$ of composition operators $C_\phi$ on weighted analytic Hilbert spaces, including the Hardy, Bergman and Dirichlet cases, with symbol $\phi$ of uniform norm $< 1$, we prove that $\lim_{n \to \infty}…

When $\varphi$ and $\psi$ are linear-fractional self-maps of the unit ball $B_N$ in ${\mathbb C}^N$, $N\geq 1$, we show that the difference $C_{\varphi}-C_{\psi}$ cannot be non-trivially compact on either the Hardy space $H^2(B_N)$ or any…

In this paper, we study hyponormal weighed composition operators on the Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces. For functions $\psi \in A(\mathbb{D})$ which are not the zero function, we characterize all hyponormal compact weighted composition…

We generalize, on one hand, some results known for composition operators on Hardy spaces to the case of Hardy-Orlicz spaces $H^\Psi$: construction of a "slow" Blaschke product giving a non-compact composition operator on $H^\Psi$;…

We study the composition operators $C_a$ acting on the Hardy space $H^2$ of the unit disk, given by $C_af=f\circ\varphi_a$, where $$ \varphi_a(z)=\frac{a-z}{1-\bar{a}z}, $$ for $|a|<1$. These operators are reflections: $C_a^2=1$. We study…

We prove that a composition operator is bounded on the Hardy space $H^2$ of the right half-plane if and only if the inducing map fixes the point at infinity non-tangentially, and has a finite angular derivative $\lambda$ there. In this case…

In this paper, we establish a compactness criterion for the composition-differentiation operator \( D_\Phi \) in terms of a decay condition of the mean counting function at the boundary of a half-plane. We provide a sufficient condition of…

We complete the different cases remaining in the estimation of the essential norm of a weighted composition operator acting between the Hardy spaces $H^p$ and $H^q$ for $1\leq p,q\leq\infty.$ In particular we give some estimates for the…

We compare the compactness of composition operators on $H^2$ and on Orlicz-Hardy spaces $H^\Psi$. We show in particular that exists an Orlicz function $\Psi$ such that $H^{3+\eps} \subseteq H^\Psi \subseteq H^3$ for every $\eps >0$, and a…

Let $\phi$ and $\psi$ be holomorphic self-maps of the unit polydisc $U^n$ in the $n$-dimensional complex space, and denote by $C_{\phi}$ and $C_{\psi}$ the induced composition operators. This paper gives some simple estimates of the…

We derive a formula for the essential norm of a composition operator on the minimal Mobius invariant space of analytic functions. As an application, we show that the essential norm of a non-compact composition operator is at least 1. We…

In this paper, we give some estimates for the essential norm and a new characterization for the boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators from weighted Bergman spaces and Hardy spaces to the Bloch space.

Let $\varphi_j$, $j=1,2, \dots, N$, be holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ of $\mathbb{C}$. We prove that the compactness of a linear combination of the composition operators $C_{\varphi_j}: f\mapsto f\circ\varphi_j$ on the…

We study composition operators on the Hardy space $\mathcal{H}^2$ of Dirichlet series with square summable coefficients. Our main result is a necessary condition, in terms of a Nevanlinna-type counting function, for a certain class of…

We investigate the compactness of composition operators on the Hardy space of Dirichlet series induced by a map $\varphi(s)=c_0s+\varphi_0(s)$, where $\varphi_0$ is a Dirichlet polynomial. Our results depend heavily on the characteristic…

We first obtain a simpler proof of the main results in [IEOT, {\bf 93}(2021), 17], which characterized the bounded and compact differences $C_{u,\varphi}-C_{v,\psi}$ of two weighted composition operators acting from…
