An application of atomic decomposition in Bergman spaces to the study of differences of composition operators (Q418706): Difference between revisions

Let \(\varphi\) and \(\psi\) be analytical self maps of the unit disc \(\mathbb D\) and \(\sigma (z)=\frac{\varphi(z) -\psi(z)}{1-\overline{ \varphi(z)}\psi(z)}\). Let \(A^p_{\alpha}\) be the standard weighted Bergman space, \(\alpha >-1\) and \(\mu\) be a positive measure on \(\mathbb D\). Assume that \(0<q<p\) and set \(s=\frac{p}{p-q}\). The main result in the paper is the equivalence of (1) the operator \(C_{\varphi}-C_{\psi}\) maps \(A^p_{\alpha}\) into \(L^q(\mu);\) (2) the operators \(\sigma C_{\varphi}\) and \(\sigma C_{\psi}\) map \(A^p_{\alpha}\) into \(L^q(\mu);\) (3) the function \(K_{\varphi,\psi}(z)=\int_{\mathbb D}\left|\left(\frac{1-|z|^2}{(1-\overline z\varphi(w))^2} \right)^{\frac{\alpha +2}{q}}- \left(\frac{1-|z|^2}{(1-\overline z\psi(w))^2}\right)^{\frac{\alpha +2}{q}}\right |^q d\mu(w)\) belongs to \(L^s(A^p_{\alpha})\). This result allows the author to complete a characterization of bounded and compact differences of weighted composition operators between standard weighted Bergman spaces, which he initiated in [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 381, No. 2, 789--798 (2011; Zbl 1244.47024)].
