Essential norms of weighted composition operators from Bloch-type space to \(H^\infty \) on the unit ball (Q2514180)

For a positive weight function \(\omega(z)\) on the unit ball \(B_n\) of \(\mathbb C^n\), the Bloch space \({\mathcal B}_\omega\) consists of holomorphic functions \(f(z)\) on \(B_n\) such that \[ \|f\|=\sup_{z\in B_n}\omega(z)|\nabla f(z)|<\infty. \] If \(\varphi:B_n\to B_n\) is a holomorphic self-map of \(B_n\) and \(u\) is any holomorphic function on \(B_n\), then the weighted composition operator \(uC_\varphi\) is defined by \(uC_\varphi f=uf\circ\varphi\). The main result of the paper is an asymptotic formula for the essential norm of \(uC_\varphi\) as an operator from \({\mathcal B}_\omega\) into \(H^\infty\), provided that \(\omega\) satisfies certain conditions.
