On eigenvalues of composition operators on \(l^ 2\) (Q1176016)

Let \(X\) be a nonempty set and let \(V(X)\) be a vector space of complex- valued functions on \(X\). Then every mapping \(T: X\to X\) such that \(f\circ T\in V(X)\), whenever \(f\in V(X)\) gives rise to a composition transformation \(C_ T: V(X)\to V(X)\) defined by \(C_ T(f)=f\circ T\) for every \(f\) in \(V(X)\). In this paper, \(V(X)\) is taken as \(V(X)=L^ 2(N,P(N),\mu)=\ell^ 2\), the Hilbert space of all square summable sequences of complex numbers. Here, the measure \(\mu\) is the counting measure defined on \(P(N)\), the family of all subsets of the set \(N\) of positive integers. The set of all eigenvalues of \(C_ T\) is denoted by \(\pi_ 0(C_ T)\). The purpose of the paper is evaluation of \(\pi_ 0(C_ T)\) when \(T: N\to N\), and \(C_ T\) is a composition operator on \(\ell^ 2\).
