Operators on function spaces of form Cɸf = f ∘ ɸ, where ɸ is a fixed map are called composition operators with symbol ɸ. We study such operators acting on the Hilbert Hardy space over the right half-plane and characterize the situations when they are invertible, Fredholm, unitary, and Hermitian. We determine the normal composition operators with inner, respectively with Möbius symbol. In select cases, we calculate their spectra, essential spectra, and numerical ranges.

Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis concerns three distinct problems in operator theory and complex analysis. In Chapter 2, we study the following problem: On the Hardy space H^2, when is the product of a Hankel operator and a Toeplitz operator compact? We give necessary and sucient conditions for when such a product H_fT_g is compact. In Chapter 3, we discuss hyponormal Toeplitz operators. We show that for those operators, there exists a lower bound for the area of the spectrum. This extends the known estimate for the spectral area of Toeplitz operators with an analytic symbol. This part is joint work with Dmitry …
