Abstract: We extend a classical result of Caughran/Schwartz and another recent result of Gunatillake by showing that if D is a bounded, convex domain in n-dimensional complex space, m is a holomorphic function on D and bounded away from zero toward the boundary of D, and p is a holomorphic self-map of D such that the weighted composition operator W assigning the product of m and the composition of f and p to a given function f is compact on a holomorphic functional Hilbert space (containing the polynomial functions densely) on D with reproducing kernel K blowing up along the diagonal of D toward its boundary, then p has a unique fixed point in D. We apply this result by making a reasonable conjecture about the spectrum of W based on previous one-variable and multivariable results concerning compact weighted and unweighted composition operators.

Review text

It is known that in the unit disk or ball, if the (weighted) composition operator \(W_{\psi,\varphi}\) is compact, then \(\varphi\) has a unique fixed point, and what is more, the spectrum has also been obtained. The author tries to extend the above result to weighted composition operators on bounded, convex domains by strengthening some additional conditions on the spaces and symbol functions \(\varphi\) and \(\psi\). It is regrettable, however, that the author only obtains that \(\varphi\) has a unique fixed point -- whether the spectrum of \(W_{\psi,\varphi}\) enjoys a similar result as before is also an open problem. The key point of this paper is putting forward such an open problem to us.
