Generalized Composition Operators on Weighted Hilbert Spaces of Analytic Functions

Abstract

Letφbe an analytic self-map of the open unit disk D andgbe an analytic function on D. The generalized composition operator induced by the mapsgandφis defined by the integral operatorI(g,φ)f(z) =∫0zf′(φ(ς))g(ς)dς. Given an admissible weightω, the weighted Hilbert spaceHωconsists of all analytic functionsfsuch that ∥f∥2Hω= |f(0)|2+∫D|f′(z)|2ω(z)dA(z) is finite. In this paper, we characterize the boundedness and compactness of the generalized composition operators on the spaceHωusing theω-Carleson measures. Moreover, we give a lower bound for the essential norm of these operators.
