Composition operators on weighted Hilbert spaces of Dirichlet series

Abstract

AbstractWe study composition operators of characteristic zero on weighted Hilbert spaces of Dirichlet series. For this purpose, we demonstrate the existence of weighted mean counting functions associated with the Dirichlet series symbol, and provide a corresponding change of variables formula for the composition operator. This leads to natural necessary conditions for the boundedness and compactness. For Bergman‐type spaces, we are able to show that the compactness condition is also sufficient, by employing a Schwarz‐type lemma for Dirichlet series.
