Minimum moduli of weighted composition operators on algebras of analytic functions (Q862157)

Given a bounded linear operator \(S:X\to Y\), the injectivity and surjectivity modulus are defined by \(j(S)=\inf\{\| Sx\| : \| x\| =1\}\) and \(k(S)=\sup\{r\geq 0: rU_Y\subset S(U_X)\},\) respectively. The author shows that in the case of nontrivial weighted composition operators \(uC_\phi\) acting on \(H^\infty({\mathbb D})\), one has that \(j(uC_\phi)=\sup\{\delta:{\mathbb T}\subset \phi(\{z:| u(z)| \geq \delta\})\}=\inf_{| w| =1}\limsup_{\phi(z_n)\to w} | u(z_n)| .\) Also, he observes that \(k(uC_\phi)>0\) if and only if \(\inf_{| z| <1} | u(z)| >0\) and \(\phi\) is an automorphism of the disc. Analogous results for the disc algebra are also given.
