A fixed point theorem for analytic functions.
Operator self-similar processes on Banach spaces.
Distances between composition operators.
Composition operators C induced by a selfmap φ of some set S are operators acting on a space consisting of functions on S by composition to the right with φ, that is Cf = f º φ. In this paper, we consider the Hilbert Hardy space H on the open unit disk and find exact formulas for distances ||C - C|| between composition operators. The selfmaps φ and ψ involved in those formulas are constant, inner, or analytic selfmaps of the unit disk fixing the origin.
Invertible and normal composition operators on the Hilbert Hardy space of a half–plane
Operators on function spaces of form Cɸf = f ∘ ɸ, where ɸ is a fixed map are called composition operators with symbol ɸ. We study such operators acting on the Hilbert Hardy space over the right half-plane and characterize the situations when they are invertible, Fredholm, unitary, and Hermitian. We determine the normal composition operators with inner, respectively with Möbius symbol. In select cases, we calculate their spectra, essential spectra, and numerical ranges.
