On the spectrum of the Cesàro operator on spaces of analytic functions (Q2470510)

The present paper deals with the spectral properties of the Cesàro operator on Banach spaces \(X\) of analytic functions. A unified approach to the study of the subdecomposability of this operator on Banach spaces of analytic functions on the unit disc \({\mathbb D}\) is proposed. The following conditions on \(X\) are supposed to be satisfied: (1) For all \(f\in X\) and any univalent function \(\phi\) of \({\mathbb D}\), there exist positive constants \(\gamma\) and \(c\) such that \[ \| C_{\phi} f\| _{X} \leq c \frac{\| f\| _{X}}{(1 - | \phi(0)| )^{\gamma}}. \] (2) There exists a fixed integer \(k \geq 1\) such that, for any function \(\psi\) analytic in a neighborhood of \(\overline{\mathbb D}\), the norm of the operator \(M_{\psi}\) of multiplication by \(\psi\) satisfies \[ \| M_{\psi}\| \leq c \| \psi\| _{A^k(\overline{\mathbb D})}, \] where \(A^k(\overline{\mathbb D})\) is the space of analytic functions in \(\mathbb D\) having \({\mathcal C}^k\)-extension to \(\overline{\mathbb D}\), with the usual norm \[ \| f \| _{A^k(\overline{\mathbb D})} = \sum\limits_{j=0}^{k} sup_{z\in \overline{\mathbb D}} | f^{(j)}(z)|. \] The spectral picture of the Cesàro operator on such spaces as well as the representation of the resolvent and the left inverse is described.
