Compact composition operators on \(H^2\) and Hardy--Orlicz spaces (Q1018194)

The authors consider the Orlicz--Hardy spaces \(H^\Psi\), where \(\Psi\) is an Orlicz function. The first result of this paper is that for every \(1\leq p<\infty\), there exists an Orlicz function \(\Psi\) such that \(H^{p+\epsilon}\subset H^{\Psi}\subset H^p\) for every \(\epsilon>0\), and a composition operator \(C_\varphi\) which is compact on \(H^{p}\) and on \(H^{p+\epsilon}\), but not on \(H^{\Psi}\). The authors also prove that for every Orlicz function \(\Psi\) which does not satify condition \(\Delta_2\), there is a composition operator \(C_\varphi\) which is compact on \(H^2\) but not on \(H^{\Psi}\).
