Berezin Ranges of Composition Operators on H2
Abstract
We explore properties of the Berezin range B(Cϕ) of a composition operator Cϕ on the Hardy space H2, including constraints on its location in the complex plane ℂ, topological properties, shape, symmetry, and convexity. For example, we show that B(Cϕ) ⊆ {z∈ ℂ: ℜ(z) > 0 and |z| ≤ 1 + |ϕ(0)|}, that B(Cϕ) is closed if and only if Cϕ is the identity operator, and that B(Cϕ) containa all its boundary points except for $0$ if Cϕ is compact. Addressing questions raised by Cowen and Felder, we show that Cϕ can be a (nondegenerate) disk and characterize when B(Cϕ) is convex if ϕ is linear.
