Compact substitution operators on weighted spaces of continuous functions (Q533297)

The authors show that in the weighted setting the constants are the only symbols which define compact substitution operators \(C_\phi(f)= f\circ \phi\) for \(\phi:T\to T\) acting on spaces of continuous functions \(CV_b(T)\) and \(CV_0(T)\), defined on connected and completely regular Haussdorff spaces \(T\), by the conditions \(\sup_{t\in T}v(t)|f(t)|<\infty \) or \(\lim_{t\to \infty}v(t)|f(t)|=0\) for any \(v\in V\), respectively, where the weights system \(V\) consists of families of upper-semicontinuous functions \(v:T\to \mathbb R^+\) satisfying that \(\lambda v\in V\) for any \(v\in V\), for any couple \((u,v)\in V\times V\) there exists \(w\in V\) with \(u\leq w\) and \(v\leq w\), and for any \(t\in T\) there exists \(v_t\in V\) with \(v_t(t)>0\).
