Review text

Let \(\mathcal{C}(X)\) denote the space of continuous functions on a topological Hausdorff space \(X\), and denote by \(\tau _{p}\) the topology of pointwise convergence on \(X\). Let \(E\) be a locally convex space continuously embedded in \((\mathcal{C}(X),\tau _{p})\), and such that the functionals on \(E\) of point evaluation \(\delta _{x}\), \(x\in X\), are linearly independent in the dual space \(E'\) of \(E\). The authors study the dynamics of weighted composition operators \(C_{w,\,\varphi }\) on \(E\): here \(C_{w,\,\varphi }:f\longmapsto w\,.\,f\circ \varphi \), where \(w:X\longrightarrow \mathbb{C}\) is the \emph{multiplier}, and \(\varphi :X\longrightarrow X\) is a continuous function called the \emph{symbol}. The main dynamical property under study is that of \emph{weak supercyclicity}: the operator \(C_{w,\,\varphi }\) is weakly supercyclic if there exists a function \(f\in E\) such that the set \[ \{\lambda \,C_{w,\,\varphi }^{n}\;;\;\lambda \in\mathbb{C},\ n\ge 0\} \] is weakly dense in \(E\). The authors prove that if \(X\) is compact, if \(E\) is a Banach space containing a nowhere vanishing function, and if \(E\) embeds continuously in \((\mathcal{C}(X),||\,.\,||_{\infty})\), then \(C_{w,\,\varphi }\) is never weakly supercyclic on \(E\). They also obtain that a weighted composition operator is never \(\tau _{p}\)-supercyclic on the disk algebra \(A(\mathbb{D})\), nor on the analytic Lipschitz spaces \(\textrm{Lip}_{\alpha }(\mathbb{D})\), \(0<\alpha \le 1\), and that there are no weakly supercyclic composition operators on the space of holomorphic functions on \(\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}\) and \(\mathbb{D}\setminus\{0\}\) respectively.
