We observe that local embedding problems for certain Hardy and Bergman spaces of Dirichlet series are equivalent to boundedness of a class of composition operators. Following this, we perform a careful study of such composition operators…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded convex Reinhardt domain in $\mathbb{C}^2$ and $\phi\in C(\bar{\Omega})$. We show that the Hankel operator $H_{\phi}$ is compact if and only if $\phi$ is holomorphic along every non-trivial analytic disc in the…

For suitable bounded hyperconvex sets $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}^N$, in particular the ball or the polydisk, we give estimates for the approximation numbers of composition operators $C_\phi \colon H^2 (\Omega) \to H^2 (\Omega)$ when $\phi…

In this paper, we specify what functions induce the bounded composition operators on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) associated with an analytic positive definite function defined on $\mathbf{R}^d$. We prove that only affine…

We study composition operators acting on the weighted Bergman spaces on the bidisc, i.e. $C_{\Phi}:A^2_{\beta}(\mathbb{D}^2)\to A^2_{\beta}(\mathbb{D}^2)$ where $\Phi$ is induced by rational inner functions (RIFs) or a RIF and a smooth…

Given two metric spaces $M$ and $N$ we study, motivated by a question of N. Weaver, conditions under which an isometric composition operator $C_\phi:\mathrm{Lip}_0(M)\longrightarrow \mathrm{Lip}_0(N)$ is isometric depending on the…

We prove that the weighted composition operator $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ fixes an isomorphic copy of $\ell^p$ if the operator $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ is not compact on the derivative Hardy space $S^p$. In particular, this implies that the strict…

The Invariant Subspace Problem ("ISP") for Hilbert space operators is known to be equivalent to a question that, on its surface, seems surprisingly concrete: For composition operators induced on the Hardy space H^2 by hyperbolic…

Let $\mathscr{H}^2$ denote the Hilbert space of Dirichlet series with square-summable coefficients. We study composition operators $\mathscr{C}_\varphi$ on $\mathscr{H}^2$ which are generated by symbols of the form $\varphi(s) = c_0s +…

We study the approximation numbers of weighted composition operators $f\mapsto w\cdot(f\circ\varphi)$ on the Hardy space $H^2$ on the unit disc. For general classes of such operators, upper and lower bounds on their approximation numbers…

In this article, we characterize the Beurling and Model subspaces of the Hardy-Hilbert space $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ invariant under the composition operator $C_{\phi_a}f=f\circ\phi_a$, where $\phi_a(z) = az + 1 - a$ for $a \in (0,1)$ is an…

This paper aims to study the boundedness and compactness of composition operators from model spaces to the Hardy Hilbert spaces in the upper half-plane. Consequently, we investigate the boundedness and compactness of composition operators…

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be the open unit disk in $\mathbb{C}$, let $H^2$ denote the Hardy space on $\mathbb{D}$ and let $\varphi : \mathbb{D} \rightarrow \mathbb{D}$ be a holomorphic self map of $\mathbb{D}$. The composition operator $C_{\varphi}$…

Finite-dimensional model spaces are quotient spaces of the Hardy space on the open unit disc, determined by finite Blaschke products. Composition operators, on the other hand, act by composing Hardy space functions with analytic self-maps…

We first characterize those composition operators that are essentially normal on the weighted Bergman space $A^2_s(D)$ for any real $s>-1$, where induced symbols are automorphisms of the unit disk $D$. Using the same technique, we…
