Review text

Let \(\varphi\) be a holomorphic map from the unit disc \(\mathbb D\) into itself, and write \(C_\varphi\) for the corresponding composition operator on the Hardy space \(H^2\). For each \(a\in\mathbb D\), write \(k_a\) for the normalized reproducing kernel \(\frac 1{\sqrt{1-|a|^2}\left(1-\bar az\right)}\). Set \(S_\varphi:=\sup_{a\in\mathbb D}\|C_\varphi k_a\|\) and \(S_\varphi^*:=\sup_{a\in\mathbb D} \|C_\varphi^* k_a\|\). The authors observe that \(S_\varphi^*\) is always less than or equal to \(S_\varphi\), and take up the problem raised by \textit{C. C. Cowen} and \textit{B. D. MacCluer} [Contemp. Math. 213, 17-25 (1998; Zbl 0908.47025)] as to when either of these quantities coincides with \(\|C_\varphi\|\). In particular, they show that \(\|C_\varphi\|>S_\varphi^*\) whenever \(\varphi\) is an inner function which is not an automorphism of \(\mathbf D\) and does not fix the origin. There is some overlap between the present paper and [Contemp. Math. 232, 47-54 (1999; Zbl 0938.47023)] by \textit{P. Avramidou} and \textit{F. Jafari}.
