Composition operators on Bergman spaces over the punctured plane (Q2491616)

This paper investigates Hilbert spaces \(F_{\varphi}\) of holomorphic functions on the punctured plane \(\mathbb{C}^{*}\) which are square integrable with respect to a weight \(\varphi\), and composition operators \(C_{\psi}\) defined on them. In Section~2, weighted Bergman spaces of holomorphic functions on the punctured plane are studied, and it is analyzed when they consist of entire functions. Several facts about evaluation maps at points of \(\mathbb{C}^{*}\) and on composition operators acting cyclically on these Bergman spaces are presented. Section~3 includes a complete classification of those weighted Bergman spaces which are finite-dimensional; it depends on a certain holomorphic function defined on \(\mathbb{C}^{*}\). Cyclicity of composition operators acting on finite-dimensional Bergman spaces is studied. In Section~4, the author investigates those weighted Bergman spaces on \(\mathbb{C}^{*}\) which are invariant under the action of the group of rotations. They are precisely those that can be defined using a rotationally invariant weight. A rotationally invariant weighted Bergman space has infinite dimension if and only if it contains a transcendental function. In Section~5, the composition operators on a rotationally invariant weighted Bergman space which are continuous, cyclic, hypercyclic or compact are characterized.
