We study the boundedness of composition operators on the bidisk using reproducing kernels. We show that a composition operator is bounded on the Hardy space of the bidisk if some associated function is a positive kernel. This positivity…

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…

A bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space is posinormal if there exists a positive operator $P$ such that $AA^{*} = A^{*}PA$. Posinormality of $A$ is equivalent to the inclusion of the range of $A$ in the range of its adjoint $A^*$.…

Let $\varphi$ be a holomorphic map which is a symbol of a bounded composition operator $C_\varphi$ acting on the Hardy-Hilbert space of Dirichlet series. We find a K\"onigs map for $\varphi$. We then deduce several applications on…

In this paper, we illustrate the effectiveness of reproducing kernel Hilbert space techniques in the study of composition operators. For weighted Hardy spaces on the unit disk, we characterize the composition operators whose adjoint is…

A bounded linear operator $T$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is said to be recurrent if for every non-empty open subset $U\subset \mathcal{H}$ there is an integer $n$ such that $T^n (U)\cap U\neq\emptyset$. In this paper, we…

The Berezin range of a bounded operator $T$ acting on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is the set $B(T)$ := $\{\langle T\hat{k}_{x},\hat{k}_{x} \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} : x \in X\}$, where $\hat{k}_{x}$ is the normalized…
