Abstract

A weighted composition operator on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space is given by a composition, followed by a multiplication. We study unitary and co-isometric weighted composition operators on unitarily invariant spaces on the Euclidean unit ball Bd\mathbb B_d. We establish a dichotomy between the spaces Hγ\mathcal{H}_\gamma with reproducing kernel (1z,w)γ(1 - \langle z,w \rangle)^{-\gamma} for γ>0\gamma > 0, and all other spaces. Whereas the former admit many unitary weighted composition operators, the latter only admit trivial ones. This extends results of Mart\'in, Mas and Vukoti\'c from the disc to the ball. Some of our results continue to hold when d=d = \infty.
