Inner functions and cyclic composition operators on \(H^2(B_n)^1\). (Q1589722)

The present paper deals with composition operators and operator algebras for several complex variables. Let \(B_n\) be the unit ball of \(\mathbb{C}^n\) and let \(\Aut(B_n)\) be the automorphic group of \(B_n\). Let \(C_\varphi\) be the composition operator on \(H^2(B_n)\) induced by an analytic self-map \(\varphi\) of \(B_n\). The authors show that the algebra \({\mathcal C}\) generated by \(\{C_\varphi: \varphi\in \Aut(B_n)\}\) is cyclic on \(H^2(B_n)\). Also, the following results appear in this paper. Result 1: Suppose that \(\varphi\in\Aut(B_n)\) has no fixed points in \(B_n\). Then \(C_\varphi\) is hypercyclic. Result 2: Suppose that \(\varphi: B_n\to B_n\) is an analytic map. If \(C_\varphi\) is cyclic on \(H^2(B_n)\), then \(\varphi\) is univalent. Result 3: If an analytic map \(\varphi: B_n\to B_n\) has at least two fixed points in \(B_n\), then \(C_\varphi\) is not cyclic.
