Abstract
Let D={z∈C:∣z∣<1} and T={z∈C:∣z∣=1}. For a∈D, consider φa(z)=1−aˉza−z and Ca the composition operator in L2(T) induced by φa: Caf=f∘φa. Clearly Ca satisties Ca2=I, i.e., is a non-selfadjoint reflection. We also consider the following symmetries (selfadjoint reflections) related to Ca: Ra=M∥ka∥2∣ka∣Ca and Wa=M∥ka∥2kaCa, where ka(z)=1−aˉz1 is the Szego kernel. The symmetry Ra is the unitary part in the polar decomposition of Ca. We characterize the eigenspaces N(Ta±I) for Ta=Ca,Ra or Wa, and study their relative positions when one changes the parameter a, e.g., N(Ta±I)∩N(Tb±I), N(Ta±I)∩N(Tb±I)⊥, N(Ta±I)⊥∩N(Tb±I), etc., for a=b∈D.
