Compact composition operators on , where G is a region in the complex plane, and the spectra of these operators were described by D. Swanton ( Compact composition operators on B(D), Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 56 (1976), 152-156). In this short note we characterize all compact endomorphisms, not necessarily those induced by composition operators, on , where D is the unit disc, and determine their spectra.
This paper is a continuation of our study of compact, power compact, Riesz, and quasicompact endomorphisms of commutative Banach algebras. Previously it has been shown that if B is a unital commutative semisimple Banach algebra with connected character space, and T is a unital endomorphism of B, then T is quasicompact if and only if the operators Tⁿ converge in operator norm to a rank-one unital endomorphism of B. In this note the discussion is extended in two ways: we discuss endomorphisms of commutative...
