In this paper, we find complex symmetric composition operators on the classical Hardy space whose symbols are linear-fractional but not automorphic. In doing so, we answer a recent question of Noor, and partially answer the original problem…

Let $K$ be a compact metric space and let $\gamma = (\gamma_1, \dots, \gamma_n)$ be a system of proper contractions on $K$. We study a C*-algebra $\mathcal{MC}_{\gamma_1, \dots, \gamma_n}$ generated by all multiplication operators by…

For $E$ a Hilbert space, let $\mathcal{H}(E)$ denote the Segal-Bargmann space (also known as the Fock space) over $E$, which is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with kernel $K(x,y)=\exp(< x,y>)$ for $x,y$ in $E$. If $\phi$ is a mapping on…

We present the following reflexivity-like result concerning the automorphism group of the $C^*$-algebra B(H), H being a separable Hilbert space. Let $\phi:B(H)\to B(H)$ be a multiplicative map (no linearity or continuity is assumed) which…

Let g be an analytic function on the open unit disc U such that g(U) is contained in U, and let h be an analytic function on U such that the weighted composition operator W_{h,g) defined by W_{h,g}f = h f(g) is bounded on the Hardy space…

If $\psi$ is analytic on the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ and $\varphi$ is an analytic self-map of $\mathbb{D}$, the weighted composition operator $C_{\psi,\varphi}$ is defined by $C_{\psi,\varphi}f(z)=\psi(z)f (\varphi (z))$, when $f$ is…

Let X be a set of analytic functions on the open unit disk D, and let phi be an analytic function on D such that phi(D) is contained in D and f |-> f o phi takes X into itself. We present conditions on X ensuring that if f |-> f o phi is…

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…

Every analytic self-map of the unit ball of a Hilbert space induces a bounded composition operator on the space of Bloch functions. Necessary and sufficient conditions for compactness of such composition operators are provided, as well as…

We construct an analytic self-map $\Phi$ of the bidisk ${\mathbb D}^2$ whose image touches the distinguished boundary, but whose approximation numbers of the associated composition operator on $H^2 ({\mathbb D}^2)$ are small in the sense…

In this note, we completely characterize complex symmetric weighted composition differentiation operator on the Hardy space $H^2$ with respect to the conjugation operator $C_{\lambda,\alpha}$. Meanwhile, the normal and self-adjoint of the…

We study composition operators on the Fock spaces $\mathcal{F}^2_\alpha(\mathbb{C}^n)$, problems considered include the essential norm, normality, spectra, cyclicity and membership in the Schatten classes. We give perfect answers for these…

A Hilbert space operator $U$ is called universal (in the sense of Rota) if every Hilbert space operator is similar to a multiple of $U$ restricted to one of its invariant subspaces. It follows that the Invariant Subspace Problem for Hilbert…

This work is a generalization of the results in [Gul] to bi-disc case. As in [Gul], quasi-parabolic composition operators on the Hilbert-Hardy space of the bi-disc are written as a linear combination of Toeplitz operators and Fourier…

Let {\phi} be an analytic self-map of D and be an analytic operator-valued function on D, where D is the unit disk. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators…

For any real $\beta$ let $H^2_\beta$ be the Hardy-Sobolev space on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$. $H^2_\beta$ is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space and its reproducing kernel is bounded when $\beta>1/2$. In this paper, we characterize that for…

We study the elementary C*-algebra whose elements are the sum of a diagonal plus a compact operator. We describe the structure of the unitary group, the sets of ideals, automorhisms and projections.

A characterization of those points in the unit disc which belong to the spectrum of a composition operator $C_{\varphi}$, defined by a rotation $\varphi(z)=rz$ with $|r|=1$, on the space $H_0(\mathbb{D})$ of all analytic functions on the…
