Composition Operators on Bohr-Bergman Spaces of Dirichlet Series (1409.3017v2)

Abstract: For $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, let $\mathscr{D}\alpha$ denote the scale of Hilbert spaces consisting of Dirichlet series $f(s) = \sum{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s}$ that satisfy $\sum_{n=1}^\infty |a_n|^2/[d(n)]^\alpha < \infty$. The Gordon--Hedenmalm Theorem on composition operators for $\mathscr{H}^2=\mathscr{D}_0$ is extended to the Bergman case $\alpha>0$. These composition operators are generated by functions of the form $\Phi(s) = c_0 s + \varphi(s)$, where $c_0$ is a nonnegative integer and $\varphi(s)$ is a Dirichlet series with certain convergence and mapping properties. For the operators with $c_0=0$ a new phenomenon is discovered: If $0 < \alpha < 1$, the space $\mathscr{D}\alpha$ is mapped by the composition operator into a smaller space in the same scale. When $\alpha > 1$, the space $\mathscr{D}\alpha$ is mapped into a larger space in the same scale. Moreover, a partial description of the composition operators on the Dirichlet--Bergman spaces $\mathscr{A}^p$ for $1 \leq p < \infty$ are obtained, in addition to new partial results for composition operators on the Dirichlet--Hardy spaces $\mathscr{H}^p$ when $p$ is an odd integer.
