Weighted composition operators on \(H^{2}\) and applications (Q941064)

In this survey, the author presents some aspects of the theory of weighted composition operators on the Hardy--Smirnov spaces \(H^p(G)\), where \(G\) is a simply connected domain in \(\mathbb{C}\). The author emphasizes the special case in which \(G\) is the unit disk. Conditions for the operators to be compact and to be Hilbert--Schmidt are provided. The author also discusses the angular derivative of selfmaps of the unit disk. This paper may be recommended for people who wish to begin a study of the theory of composition operators.
