Evaluation-functional-preserving maps (Q1028219): Difference between revisions

Let \(X=H(D)\) be the algebra of holomorphic functions on the open unit disc \(D\) with the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets of \(D\). For a subspace \(Y\) of \(X\), let \(Y^*\) denote the algebraic dual of \(Y\) and let \(\mathcal F_e(Y)\) denote the set of all point evaluation functionals \(\delta_z\), \(z\in D\), on \(Y\). In the paper under review, the authors characterize the self-maps \(\Phi\) of \(Y^*\) that preserve \(\mathcal F_e(Y)\). In the case where \(\mathcal F_e(Y)\subset Y'\), the space of continuous linear functionals on \(Y\), they give a characterization of those maps \(\Phi\) which contract the norm of \(\delta_z\) and those which preserve it.
