Abstract: We study composition operators on Hardy and Dirichlet spaces belonging to Schatten classes. We give some new examples and analyse the size of contact set of the symbol of such operators.

Review text

In this paper, the authors consider composition operators acting on a Hardy space \(\mathbf{H}^2\) and the weighted Dirichlet space \(\mathcal{D}_{\alpha}\), for \(0\leq\alpha\leq 1\). Let \(\varphi\) be a holomorphic self-map of \(\mathbb{D}\), then the composition operator \(C_{\varphi}\) on \(\mathcal{D}_{\alpha}\) is defined as \(C_{\varphi}(f)=f\circ\varphi\) for \(f\in\mathcal{D}_{\alpha}\). For \(s\in(0, 1)\), the level set of \(\varphi\) is given by \[ E_{\varphi}(s)=\{\xi\in\mathbb{T}: |\varphi(\xi)|\geq s\}. \] The contact set of \(\varphi\) is \(E_{\varphi}=E_{\varphi}(1)\). It is well known that, for a Hilbert space \(\mathcal{H}\), a compact operator is in the Schatten class \(\mathcal{S}_{p}(\mathcal{H})\) if its sequence of singular numbers is in the sequence space \(\ell^p\). First, the authors consider Toeplitz operators on Bergman spaces \(\mathcal{A}_{\alpha}\), for \(\alpha>-1\). The authors give a simple proof of Luecking's Theorem [\textit{D. H. Luecking}, J. Funct. Anal. 73, 345--368 (1987; Zbl 0618.47018)]; namely, for \(p\geq1\), the Toeplitz operators \(T_{\mu}\in \mathcal{S}_p(\mathcal{A}_{\alpha})\) if and only if its Berezin transform \(\tilde{\mu}\in L^{p}(\mathbb{D}, d\lambda)\), where \(\displaystyle d\lambda(w)= (1-|w|^2)^{-2} dA(w)\). Second, the authors consider the Schatten class \(\mathcal{S}_p(\mathbf{H}^2)\) of composition operators \(C_{\varphi}\). They give a sufficient condition in terms of the level set of \(\varphi\) that ensures \(C_{\varphi}\) belongs to \(\mathcal{S}_{p}(\mathbf{H}^2)\); namely, for \(p\geq2\), \(C_{\varphi}\in\mathcal{S}_{p}(\mathbf{H}^2)\) whenever \(\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} \frac{|E_{\varphi}(s)|^{p/2}}{(1-s)^{1+p/2}} ds\) is finite. As an immediate consequence, the authors give new examples of operators \(C_{\varphi}\) in \(\mathcal{S}_p(\mathbf{H}^2)\backslash \mathcal{S}_2(\mathbf{H}^2)\) for \(p>2\). Moreover, the authors consider outer functions \(\varphi\) which their contact set is reduced to one point. Let \(h\) be admissible function and let \(\varphi\) be the outer function on \(\mathbb{D}\) such that \(|\varphi(e^{it})|= e^{-h(t)}\), a.e on \((0, \pi)\). In this case, they show that for \(p>0\), \(C_{\varphi}\in \mathcal{S}_p(\mathbf{H}^2)\) if and only if \[ \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{dt}{h(t)\left(\int_{t}^{\pi}\frac{h(s)}{s^2}ds\right)^{p/2-1}}<\infty. \] As a consequence, they prove that for \(q>0\) there exists a compact composition operator \(C_{\varphi}\) such that \(\displaystyle C_{\varphi} \in \cap_{q>p} \mathcal{S}_p(\mathbf{H}^2)\backslash \mathcal{S}_q(\mathbf{H}^2)\). Third, the authors study the size of contact set of \(\varphi\), when \(C_{\varphi}\) belongs to Schatten class \(\mathcal{S}_p(\mathcal{D}_{\alpha})\). In this case, they give sufficient conditions in terms of the \(\alpha\)-capacity of \(E_{\varphi}\) which ensure that \(C_{\varphi}\) belongs to \(\mathcal{S}_{p}(\mathcal{D}_{\alpha})\). They show that, for \(0<\alpha<1\) and \(p\leq 2/(1-\alpha)\), if \(C_{\varphi}\in\mathcal{S}_{p}(\mathcal{D}_{\alpha})\), then \(\text{cap}_{\alpha}(E_{\varphi})=0\). Moreover, they show that, for \(0<\alpha\leq1\), if \(\varphi\) is univalent function such that \(C_{\varphi}\in\mathcal{S}_{p}(\mathcal{D}_{\alpha})\), then \(\displaystyle\text{cap}_{\frac{p\alpha}{2+p\alpha}}(E_{\varphi})=0\).
