The spectrum of composition operators induced by a rotation in the space of all analytic functions on the disc

Abstract: A characterization of those points in the unit disc which belong to the spectrum of a composition operator

C_{v a r p h i}

, defined by a rotation

v a r p h i (z) = r z

with

| r | = 1

, on the space

H_{0} (m a t h b b D)

of all analytic functions on the unit disc which vanish at

0

, is given. Examples show that the point

1

may or may not belong to the spectrum of

C_{v a r p h i}

, and this is related to Diophantine approximation. Our results complement recent work by Arendt, Celari`es and Chalendar.
