    Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, 2023
    Given a holomorphic self-map $\\varphi $ of $\\mathbb {D}$ (the open unit disc in $\\mathbb {C}$ ), the composition operator $C_{\\varphi } f = f \\circ \\varphi $ , $f \\in H^2(\\mathbb {\\mathbb {D}})$ , defines a bounded linear operator on the Hardy space $H^2(\\mathbb {\\mathbb {D}})$ . The model spaces are the backward shift-invariant closed subspaces of $H^2(\\mathbb {\\mathbb {D}})$ , which are canonically associated with inner functions. In this paper, we study model spaces that are invariant under composition operators. Emphasis is put on finite-dimensional model spaces, affine transformations, and linear fractional transformations.
  • Multiplication Operators Between Discrete Hardy Spaces on Rooted Trees
    P. Muthukumar, P. Shankar
    Lobachevskii Journal of Mathematics, 2022
    Muthukumar and Ponnusamy [9] studied the multiplication operators on $$\mathbb{T}_{p}$$ spaces. In this article, we mainly consider multiplication operators between $$\mathbb{T}_{p}$$ and $$\mathbb{T}_{q}$$ ( $$p\neq q$$ ). In particular, we characterize bounded and compact multiplication operators from $$\mathbb{T}_{p}$$ to $$\mathbb{T}_{q}$$ . For $$p\neq q$$ , we prove that there are no invertible multiplication operators from $$\mathbb{T}_{p}$$ to $$\mathbb{T}_{q}$$ and also there are no isometric multiplication operators from $$\mathbb{T}_{p}$$ to $$\mathbb{T}_{q}$$ . Finally, we discuss about fixed points of a multiplication operator on $$\mathbb{T}_{p}$$ .
  • BEURLING TYPE INVARIANT SUBSPACES OF COMPOSITION OPERATORS
    Snehasish Bose, , P. Muthukumar, Jaydeb Sarkar, , and
    Journal of Operator Theory, 2021
    The aim of this paper is to answer the following question concerning invariant subspaces of composition operators: characterize φ, holomorphic self maps of D, and inner functions θ∈H∞(D) such that the Beurling type invariant subspace θH2 is an invariant subspace for Cφ. We prove the following result: Cφ(θH2)⊆θH2 if and only if θ∘φθ∈S(D). This classification also allows us to recover or improve some known results on Beurling type invariant subspaces of composition operators.

  • Weighted composition operators on the class of subordinate functions
    Perumal Muthukumar, Saminathan Ponnusamy
    Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics, 2018
    In this article, we study the weighted composition operators preserving the class $\\mathcal{P}_{\\alpha}$ of analytic functions subordinate to $\\frac{1+\\alpha z}{1-z}$ for $|\\alpha|\\leq 1, \\alpha \\neq -1$. Some of its consequences and examples for some special cases are presented. Furthermore, we discuss about the fixed points of weighted composition operators.
