Abstract: We obtain exhaustive results and treat in a unified way the question of boundedness, compactness, and weak compactness of composition operators from the Bloch space into any space from a large family of conformally invariant spaces that includes the classical spaces like BMOA, Qalpha, and analytic Besov spaces Bp. In particular, by combining techniques from both complex and functional analysis, we prove that in this setting weak compactness is equivalent to compactness. For the operators into the corresponding "small" spaces we also characterize the boundedness and show that it is equivalent to compactness.


In this nice paper, the authors present a unified approach to characterize boundedness, compactness, and weak compactness of composition operators from the Bloch space to some spaces belonging to a wide family of spaces of analytic functions on the unit disc \({\mathbb D}\) having conformal invariance properties. This includes BMOA, Besov spaces and spaces \(Q_\alpha\). More specifically, the Bloch space \({\mathcal B}\) is the space of analytic functions on \({\mathbb D}\) such that \(\displaystyle\sup_{z\in\mathbb{D}}\big(1-|z|^2\big)|f'(z)|<\infty\). The authors are particularly interested in the Möbius invariant space \(M\big({\mathcal D}^p_\mu\big)\) where \(\mu\) is a positive Borel measure on \({\mathbb D}\) and \(f\) belongs to \(M\big({\mathcal D}^p_\mu\big)\) iff \[ \big\|f\big\|^p_{M\big({\mathcal D}^p_\mu\big)}:=|f(0)|^p+\sup_{\sigma\in \operatorname{Aut}({\mathbb D})}\int_{\mathbb D} |(f\circ\sigma)'|^p\,d\mu<\infty. \] We shall not state all the results, but mention Theorem 1 which asserts that weak compactness and compactness of the composition operator \(C_\varphi:f\mapsto f\circ\varphi\) are equivalent, and it is characterized by \[ \lim_{r\rightarrow1^-}\sup_{z\in\mathbb{D}} \int_{\{|\varphi\circ\sigma|>r\}} |(\varphi\circ\sigma)^{\#}|^p\,d\mu=0, \] where \(g^\#\) denotes the hyperbolic derivative of \(g\). Theorem 4 gives the same kind of result when the space \(M\big({\mathcal D}^p_\mu\big)\) is replaced by its ``boundary vanishing version \(M_0\big({\mathcal D}^p_\mu\big)\).
