Compact difference of composition operators with smooth symbols on the unit ball (Q2236025)

Denote by \(\mathbb B\) the unit ball in \(\mathbb C^n\) and \(H^{p}(\mathbb B)\) the classical Hardy space. For any \(\alpha>-1\), let \[ dV_\alpha(z) = c_\alpha (1-|z|^2)^\alpha dV(z), \] where \(c_\alpha\) is a positive normalizing constant such that \(V_\alpha(\mathbb B)=1\). If \(p>0\) and \(\alpha>-1\) denote \[ A^p_\alpha = \left\{ f\in \mathcal O(\mathbb B); \int_{\mathbb B}|f(z)|^pdV_\alpha(z) < \infty\right\}. \] The composition operator \(C_{\varphi}\) is defined as follows: for an analytic function \(f\) on \(\mathbb B\), \(C_{\varphi}f(z)=f(\varphi(z))\). In this paper, the authors investigate the difference of \(C_{\varphi}-C_{\psi}\) in \(H^{p}(\mathbb B)\) and \(A^p_\alpha\). They obtain sufficient conditions for the boundedness and compactness of \(C_{\varphi}-C_{\psi}\) by approach of Carleson measure.
