Adjoints Of Composition Operators With Rational Symbol, Christopher Hammond, Jennifer Moorhouse, Marian Robbins May 2008

Adjoints Of Composition Operators With Rational Symbol, Christopher Hammond, Jennifer Moorhouse, Marian Robbins

Mathematics Faculty Publications

Building on techniques developed by C. C. Cowen and E. A. Gallardo-Gutiérrez [J. Funct. Anal. 238 (2006), no. 2, 447–462;MR2253727 (2007e:47033)], we find a concrete formula for the adjoint of a composition operator with rational symbol acting on the Hardy space H 2 . We consider some specific examples, comparing our formula with several results that were previously known.


Composition Operators With Maximal Norm On Weighted Bergman Spaces, Brent J. Carswell, Christopher Hammond Sep 2006

Composition Operators With Maximal Norm On Weighted Bergman Spaces, Brent J. Carswell, Christopher Hammond

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We prove that any composition operator with maximal norm on one of the weighted Bergman spaces is induced by a disk automorphism or a map that fixes the origin. This result demonstrates a major difference between the weighted Bergman spaces and the Hardy space H2, where every inner function induces a composition operator with maximal norm.


Isolation And Component Structure In Spaces Of Composition Operators, Christopher Hammond, Barbara D. Maccluer Oct 2005

Isolation And Component Structure In Spaces Of Composition Operators, Christopher Hammond, Barbara D. Maccluer

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We establish a condition that guarantees isolation in the space of composition operators acting between H p (B N ) and H q (B N ), for 0 < p ≤ ∞, 0 < q < ∞, and N ≥ 1. This result will allow us, in certain cases where 0 < q < p ≤ ∞, completely to characterize the component structure of this space of operators.


The Norm Of A Composition Operator With Linear Symbol Acting On The Dirichlet Space, Christopher Hammond Mar 2005

The Norm Of A Composition Operator With Linear Symbol Acting On The Dirichlet Space, Christopher Hammond

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We obtain a representation for the norm of a composition operator on the Dirichlet space induced by a map of the form φ(z)=az+b. We compare this result to an upper bound for ‖Cφ‖ that is valid whenever φ is univalent. Our work relies heavily on an adjoint formula recently discovered by Gallardo-Gutiérrez and Montes-Rodríguez.
