We investigate isometric composition operators on the weighted Dirichlet space ${𝒟}_{\alpha }$ with standard weights ${(1-|z|}^2{)}^{\alpha }$, $\alpha >-1$. The main technique used comes from Martín and Vukotić who completely characterized the isometric composition operators on the classical Dirichlet space $𝒟$. We solve some of these but not in general. We also investigate the situation when ${𝒟}_{\alpha }$ is equipped with another equivalent norm.

This paper identifies a class of complex symmetric weighted composition operators on $H^2\left(𝔻\right)$ that includes both the unitary and the Hermitian weighted composition operators, as well as a class of normal weighted composition operators identified by Bourdon and Narayan. A characterization of algebraic weighted composition operators with degree no more than two is provided to illustrate that the weight function of a complex symmetric weighted composition operator is not necessarily linear fractional.
