Composition operators from logarithmic Bloch spaces to weighted Bloch spaces

Abstract: We characterize the analytic self-maps

p h i

of the unit disk

B b b D

in

B b b C

that induce continuous composition operators

C_{p} h i

from the log-Bloch space

m a t h c a l B^{l o g} (B b b D)

to

m u

-Bloch spaces

{m a t h c a l B}^{m} u (B b b D)

in terms of the sequence of quotients of the

m u

-Bloch semi-norm of the

n

th power of

p h i

and the log-Bloch semi-norm (norm) of the

n

th power

F_{n}

of the identity function on

B b b D

, where

m u : B b b D i g h t a r r o w (0, i n f t y)

is continuous and bounded. We also obtain an expression that is equivalent to the essential norm of

C_{p} h i

between these spaces, thus characterizing

p h i

such that

C_{p} h i

is compact. After finding a pairwise norm equivalent family of log-Bloch type spaces that are defined on the unit ball

{B b b B}_{n}

of

{B b b C}^{n}

and include the log-Bloch space, we obtain an extension of our boundedness/compactness/essential norm results for

C_{p} h i

acting on

{m a t h c a l B}^{l o g}

to the case when

C_{p} h i

acts on these more general log-Bloch-type spaces.

Review text

The authors consider composition operators from log-Bloch spaces into \(\mu\)-Bloch spaces defined on the unit ball of \(\mathbb C\), namely, if \(\mathcal B^{\mu}\) stands for the space of holomorphic functions on the unit disc such that \(\sup_{|z|<1} \mu(z) |f'(z)|<\infty\) and \(\mathcal B^{\log}\) corresponds to the case \(\mu(z)=(1-|z|)\log (\frac{3}{1-|z|})\), they show that \(C_\phi(f)=f\circ\phi\) maps \(\mathcal B^{\log}\) into \(\mathcal B^{\mu}\) if and only if \(\sup_j \frac{\|\phi^j\|_{\mathcal B^{\mu}}}{\|F_j\|_{\mathcal B^{\log}}}<\infty\), where \(F_j(z)=z^j\). As usual, the corresponding little oh condition describes the compactness and the \(\limsup_j \frac{\|\phi^j\|_{\mathcal B^{\mu}}}{\|F_j\|_{\mathcal B^{\log}}}\) gives the essential norm of \(C_\phi\). The main new contribution with respect to all the previously known results comes from the fact that \(\mu\) is not assumed to be radial, as in most of the known cases.
