Subnormal semigroups of composition operators

From MaRDI portal





Let \(\psi\) be a linear fractional map and the composition operator \(C_{\psi}\) on the Hardy space \(H^2\) be hyponormal, then, as a consequence of a result of \textit{C. C. Cowen} [Integral Equations Oper. Theory 11, No. 2, 151--160 (1988; Zbl 0638.47027)], \(C_{\psi}\) is unitarily equivalent to a composition operator with symbol \(\phi\) of the form \(\phi_a (z):=\frac{z}{az+(a+1)}\), \(a>0\). In his previous paper [Integral Equations Oper. Theory 43, No. 4, 385--396 (2002; Zbl 1043.47022)], the author showed that \(\phi_a\) induces a strongly continuous one-parameter semigroup of subnormal composition operators \(\{C_{\psi_a}^{\lambda}\}_{\lambda \geq 0}\), where \(C_{\psi_a}^{\lambda}:=C_{\psi_a^{\lambda}}\), and \(\psi_a^{\lambda}:=\psi_{{(1+a)}^{\lambda}-1}\). In the present article, the author shows that the semigroup \(\{C_{\psi_a}^s \big | _{H_0^2}\}_{s \geq 0}\) is unitarily equivalent to the semigroup of multiplication on \(H^2(\mu)\), where \(\mu\) is a measure defined on the right halfplane \(\Pi^+\) and having minimal exponential type. Moreover, the author discusses cyclicity of such semigroups in the context of more general results studied by \textit{J. H. Shapiro} and \textit{P. S. Bourdon} [``Cyclic phenomena for composition operators (Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 596) (1997; Zbl 0996.47032)].
