The analysis of composition operators on \(L^ p\) and the Hopf decomposition (Q1176587): Difference between revisions

Let \((X,\Sigma,\mu)\) be a \(\sigma\)-finite measure space and \(\tau: X\to X\) a measurable transformation. An explicit isometric isomorphism between the weighted composition operator induced by a purely dissipative transformation \(\tau\) and an operator weighted shift is given. Examples of subnormal weighted composition operators are constructed. It is also shown that weighted composition operators whose weights are multiplicative coboundaries are isometrically isomorphic to the composition operator induced by the same transformation on the same space with an equivalent measure.
