Strict singularity of weighted composition operators on derivative Hardy spaces (1903.10265v2)

Abstract: We prove that the weighted composition operator $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ fixes an isomorphic copy of $\ell^p$ if the operator $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ is not compact on the derivative Hardy space $S^p$. In particular, this implies that the strict singularity of the operator $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ coincides with the compactness of it on $S^p$. Moreover, when $p\neq2$, we characterize the conditions for those weighted composition operators $W_{\phi,\varphi}$ on $S^p$ which fix an isomorphic copy of $\ell^2$.
