Session 4. Banach Spaces and Operator Theory with Applications

Carleson measures and compostion operators on abstract Hardy spaces

Luis Rodríguez-Piazza, Universidad de Sevilla, Spain
In this talk I will report on some recent results about abstract Hardy spaces obtained in collaboration with Mieczysław Mastyło (Adam Mickiewicz University Poznań, Poland). Let \(\mathbb{D}\) be the open unit disk of the complex plane and the torus \(\mathbb{T}=\partial\mathbb{D}\) its border equipped with the normalized length measure \(m\). Essentially in the same way that Hardy spaces \(H^p(\mathbb{D})\) are defined out of Lebesgue spaces \(L^p(\mathbb{T})\), one can define an abstract Hardy space \(H\!X\) out of any (quasi-)Banach function space \(X\) on the torus \(\mathbb{T}\): \[ H\!X:= \big\{ f\in H(\mathbb{D});\; \|f\|_{H\!X}:=\sup_{0\leq r<1} \|f_r\|_X<+\infty \big\}. \] We will consider mainly the case where \(X\) is a symmetric (that is, rearrangement invariant) Banach space on \((\mathbb{T},m)\). Particular classes of abstract Hardy spaces are Hardy-Orlicz, Hardy-Lorentz and Hardy-Marcinkie\-wicz spaces, which correspond respectively to the cases where \(X\) is an Orlicz, a Lorentz or a Marcinkiewicz space on \((\mathbb{T},m)\). In these cases we have \(H\!X=\{ f\in H^1(\mathbb{D}) : \widetilde{f}\in X\}\), where \(\widetilde{f}\) is the boundary value of \(f\) (the radial limits). Motivated by the study of composition operators on \(H\!X\) we study the inclusion of \(H\!X\) into a Banach symmetric space \(Y(\mu)\), for \(\mu\) a finite measure on \(\mathbb{D}\). We investigate the relationships between boundedness or compactness of the inclusion of \(H\!X\) in \(Y(\mu)\) and some conditions on \(\mu\) which are variants of the requirement for \(\mu\) to be a Carleson measure. An important role in the definition of these conditions is played by the fundamental functions of \(X\) and \(Y\). In particular we will give a characterization of the compactness of composition operators on Hardy-Lorentz and Hardy-Marcinkiewicz spaces. This characterization is similar to the one given for Hardy-Orlicz spaces by Lef\`evre, Li, Queffélec and Rodríguez-Piazza
