Operator-weighted composition operators on vector-valued analytic function spaces (Q610635)

Let \(X, Y\) be complex Banach spaces, \(\mathbb D\) be the open unit disk and \(H(X)\) be the linear space of \(X\)-valued analytic functions defined on \(\mathbb D\). Let \(v: \mathbb D \to (0, \infty)\) be a bounded continuous weight function. The weighted vector-valued space \(H_v^\infty(X)\) is defined as \[ H_v^\infty(X)= \Big\{f \in H(X): \|f\|_{H_v^\infty(X)}:= \sup_{z \in \mathbb D} v(z)\|f(z)\|_X < \infty\Big\}. \] The operator-weighted composition operator \(W_{\psi, \varphi}: H_v^\infty(X) \to H_w^\infty(Y)\) is defined by \[ W_{\psi, \varphi}(f)= \psi(f \circ \varphi) \quad \text{for all} \quad f \in H_v^\infty(X), \] where \(\varphi\) is analytic on \(\mathbb D\) and \(\psi: \mathbb D \to L(X, Y)\), where \(L(X,Y)\) denotes the Banach space of all bounded linear operators from \(X\) into \(Y\), is analytic. In this paper, the authors characterize the boundedness of \(W_{\psi, \varphi}\) and they present conditions for \(W_{\psi, \varphi}\) being compact and weakly compact in the case of radial weights \(v\) and \(w\). They show that the operator \(W_{\psi, \varphi}\) is compact (respectively, weakly compact) if and only if \(X \mapsto H_w^\infty(Y): x \mapsto \psi(\cdot)x\) is compact (respectively, weakly compact) and \[ \lim_{r \to 1}\sup_{|\varphi(z)|> r} \frac{w(z)}{\tilde{v}(\varphi(z))} \|\psi(z)\|_{L(X, Y)}= 0, \] where \(\tilde{v}(z)= (\sup \{|f(z)|: \|f\|_{H_v^\infty} \leq 1\})^{-1}\). In the case of the weight \(v \equiv 1\), such operators have been studied on \(H_v^{\infty}(X)= H^\infty(X)\) (e.g., \textit{M.\,D.\thinspace Contreras} and \textit{S.\,Díaz-Madrigal} [Contemp.\ Math.\ 232, 111--118 (1999; Zbl 0936.46010)]), as well as in the scalar-valued weighted space \(H^{\infty}\) (see \textit{A.\,Montes-Rodríguez} [J.~Lond.\ Math.\ Soc., II.\ Ser.\ 61, No.\,3, 872--884 (2000; Zbl 0959.47016)] and \textit{M.\,D.\thinspace Contreras} and \textit{A.\,G.\thinspace Hernández-Díaz} [J.~Aust.\ Math.\ Soc., Ser.\,A 69, No.\,1, 41--60 (2000; Zbl 0990.47018)]). Some examples of those operators are given.
