On the theory and applications of Hardy and Bergman spaces

Abstract

We study composition operators between higher orders weighted Bergman spaces. Certain growth conditions for generalized Nevanlinna counting functions of the inducing map are shown to be necessary and sufficient for such operators to be bounded or compact. Under a mind condition we show that a composition operators  C_j is compact on the higher order weighted Bergman spaces and Hardy spaces of the open unit ball in  if and only if  0    as  |z| ® 1-.
