Weighted Bloch spaces which are Banach spaces (Q379442)

Let \(D\) be the unit disk in the complex plane and \(\omega\) a non-negative function on \(D\). An analytic function \(f\) in \(D\) belongs to the \textit{weighted Bloch space} \(\mathcal B_\omega\) if \[ \|f\|_\omega=|f(0)|+\sup_{z\in D} \omega(z) |f'(z)|<\infty\,. \] The \textit{weighted little Bloch space} \(\mathcal B_{0,\,\omega}\) consists of those functions \(f\in \mathcal B_\omega\) satisfying \[ \lim_{|z|\to 1} \omega(z) |f'(z)|=0\,. \] In this paper, it is assumed that \(\mathcal B_\omega\) is a Banach space as a main subject. Suppose that \(\varphi\) is an analytic function in \(D\). The \textit{integral operator} \(J_\varphi\) is defined in the space of holomorphic functions in \(D\) by \[ (J_\varphi f)(z)=\int_0^z f(\zeta) \varphi'(\zeta)\, d\zeta\,. \] When \(\varphi\) satisfies \(|\varphi|\leq 1\) in \(D\), the \textit{composition operator} \(C_\varphi\) (acting on the space of analytic functions in the unit disk) is \[ C_\varphi(f)=f\circ\varphi\,. \] Point evaluation and point derivation functionals on \(\mathcal B_\omega\) are studied and some quantities related to these functionals are used to provide necessary and sufficient conditions for boundedness of integral and composition operators in very general weighted Bloch spaces \(\mathcal B_\omega\). Compactness of such operators is also characterized in the cases when \(\omega\) satisfies certain additional conditions. Boundedness and compactness of integral and composition operators on the weighted little Bloch spaces are also characterized in the cases when the unit ball of \(\mathcal B_\omega\) is a normal family and \(\mathcal B_{0,\,\omega}\) is not the space of constant functions.
