Introduction The main object of study in this talk is the generalized Volterra operator T ϕ g , defined for a fixed function g ∈ H ( D ) and selfmap ϕ : D → D as � ϕ ( z ) T ϕ f ( ξ ) g ′ ( ξ ) d ξ, g ( f )( z ) = z ∈ D , f ∈ H ( D ) . 0 In the special case when ϕ is the identity map ϕ ( z ) = z we get the Volterra operator � z f ( ξ ) g ′ ( ξ ) d ξ, T g ( f )( z ) = z ∈ D , f ∈ H ( D ) , 0 which has been extensively studied on various spaces of analytic functions during the past decades, starting from papers by Pommerenke, Aleman, Cima and Siskakis.

Introduction The present talk is inspired by two recent works on boundedness and compactness properties of the Volterra operator T g mapping into the space H ∞ of bounded analytic functions on the unit disc. Namely, Smith, Stolyarov and Volberg obtained a very nice necessary and sufficient condition for T g to be bounded on H ∞ when g is univalent. The main purpose is to demonstrate that similar conditions characterize v α → H ∞ when 0 ≤ α < 1 and g boundedness and compactness of T g : H ∞ is univalent. In the other work, Contreras, Pel´ aez, Pommerenke and R¨ atty¨ a studied boundedness, compactness and weak compactness of T g : X → H ∞ acting on a Banach space X ⊂ H ( D ). We will discuss a similar study of the generalized Volterra operator T ϕ g mapping between Banach spaces of analytic functions on the unit disc satisfying certain general conditions.

Introduction The weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions H ∞ and H 0 v are defined v by � � H ∞ = f ∈ H ( D ) : || f || H ∞ := sup z ∈ v ( z ) | f ( z ) | < + ∞ v v � � H 0 f ∈ H ∞ v = : | z |→ 1 − v ( z ) | f ( z ) | = 0 lim , v where the weight v : D → R is a continuous, strictly positive function, radial, non-increasing with respect to | z | , and lim | z |→ 1 v ( z ) = 0. Moreover, we will study the Bloch-type spaces B v and B 0 v defined by � � z ∈ v ( z ) | f ′ ( z ) | < + ∞ B v = f ∈ H ( D ) : || f || B v := | f (0) | + sup � � B 0 | z |→ 1 − v ( z ) | f ′ ( z ) | = 0 v = f ∈ B v : lim .

Introduction ≈ l ∞ and H 0 In 2006 Lusky has shown that H ∞ v ≈ c 0 for a large class of v weights including the normal weights, i.e. weights v for which v (1 − 2 − n − k ) v (1 − 2 − n ) inf k lim sup < 1 and sup v (1 − 2 − n − 1 ) < ∞ . v (1 − 2 − n ) n n Therefore H ∞ and H 0 v are nice spaces whenever v is a normal weight. v and ˜ By the differentiation operator D : f �→ f ′ , the spaces H ∞ B v as well v v and ˜ as their subspaces H 0 B 0 v are isometrically isomorphic. The map ( f , λ ) �→ f + λ gives that also ˜ B v ⊕ 1 C ≈ B v and ˜ B 0 v ⊕ 1 C ≈ B 0 v are isometrically isomorphic. Hence also B v and B 0 v behave nicely for normal weights. Weights of the type v α ( z ) := (1 − | z | 2 ) α with α > 0 are called standard weights, and they are clearly normal. Mikael Lindstr¨ om () Volterra operators Poznan, July 2018 12 / 35

Introduction Furthermore, the Hardy space H p for 1 ≤ p < ∞ consists of all functions f analytic in the unit disc such that � 2 π � f � p 1 | f ( re i θ ) | p d θ < ∞ , H p := sup 2 π 0 ≤ r < 1 0 and the weighted Bergman spaces for constants α > − 1 and 1 ≤ p < ∞ are given by � � � f ∈ H ( D ) : || f || p A p | f ( z ) | p (1 − | z | 2 ) α dA ( z ) < ∞ α = α := (1 + α ) , A p where dA ( z ) is the normalized area measure on D . Finally, the disc algebra, A ( D ) is the space of functions analytic on D that extend continuously to the boundary ∂ D . Mikael Lindstr¨ om () Volterra operators Poznan, July 2018 13 / 35

Introduction The following result is useful when characterizing compactness and weak compactness of the generalized Volterra operator. Lemma (Contreras, Pel´ aez, Pommerenke, R¨ atty¨ a ) Let X ⊂ H ( D ) be a Banach space such that the closed unit ball B X is compact with respect to the compact open topology co and Y ⊂ H ( D ) be a Banach space such that point evaluation functionals on Y are bounded. Assume that T : X → Y is a co-co continuous linear operator. Then T : X → Y is compact (respectively weakly compact) if and only if { T ( f n ) } ∞ n =1 converges to zero in the norm (respectively in the weak topology) of Y for each bounded sequence { f n } ∞ n =1 in X such that f n → 0 uniformly on compact subsets of D . The above lemma can be applied to the generalized Volterra operator T ϕ g : X → Y , since it is obvious that T ϕ g : H ( D ) → H ( D ) always is co - co continuous.

Boundedness and compactness results for T g v α → H ∞ induced by a Consider the classical Volterra operator T g : H ∞ univalent function g for standard weights v α with 0 ≤ α < 1. The study of the case when α = 0, that is when T g : H ∞ → H ∞ , was initiated by Anderson, Jovovic and Smith and they conjectured that T [ H ∞ ] = { g ∈ H ( D ) : T g : H ∞ → H ∞ is bounded } would coincide with the space of functions analytic in D with bounded radial variation � � � 1 | f ′ ( re i θ ) | dr < ∞ BRV = f ∈ H ( D ) : sup . 0 ≤ θ< 2 π 0 Recently Smith, Stolyarov and Volberg confirmed this conjecture when the inducing function g is univalent, that is T [ H ∞ ] ∩ { g ∈ H ( D ) : g is univalent } = BRV .

Boundedness and compactness results for T g On the other side, they also obtained a counterexample to the general conjecture posed by Anderson, Jovovic and Smith meaning that BRV � T [ H ∞ ]. a showed that T g : H ∞ v 1 → H ∞ Contreras, Pel´ aez, Pommerenke and R¨ atty¨ is bounded precisely when g is a constant function. Since the size of the spaces H ∞ v α increases as the power α grows, one concludes that the only v α → H ∞ that can be bounded when α ≥ 1 is the Volterra operator T g : H ∞ zero operator. Hence, we are left to consider the remaining cases 0 ≤ α < 1, and will also restrict to univalent symbols g . Mikael Lindstr¨ om () Volterra operators Poznan, July 2018 16 / 35

Boundedness and compactness results for T g Anderson, Jovovic and Smith also discussed compactness of the Volterra operator T g : H ∞ → H ∞ , and suggested the space � � � 1 | f ′ ( re i θ ) | dr = 0 BRV 0 = f ∈ H ( D ) : lim sup t → 1 − 0 ≤ θ< 2 π t of functions analytic in the unit disc with derivative uniformly integrable on radii as a natural candidate for the set of such functions g . v α → H ∞ when Therefore we are interested in compactness of T g : H ∞ 0 ≤ α < 1 and g is univalent.

Boundedness and compactness results for T g � � Ω r For β > 0 and r > 0, let B denote the class of all functions F , β analytic in the open sector � � � � � ≤ C F z ∈ C : 0 < | z | < r and − β 2 < arg( z ) < β � F ′ ( z ) Ω r β := , with 2 | z | for z ∈ Ω r β . Here C F is a constant only depending on β , r and the function � 1 � F . Below Ω β := Ω 1 β and � u is the harmonic conjugate of u with � u = 0. 2 Theorem (Smith, Stolyarov,Volberg) Let 0 < γ < β < π and ε > 0 . Then there is a number δ ( ε ) > 0 such that � � Ω 1 / 2 there exists a harmonic function u : Ω β → R with for each F ∈ B γ the properties (1) | Re ( F ( x )) − u ( x ) | ≤ ε , for x ∈ (0 , δ ( ε )] . (2) | � u ( z ) | ≤ C ( ε, γ, β, C F ) < ∞ , for z ∈ Ω β . The number δ ( ε ) is independent of F , whereas the constant C ( ε, γ, β, C F ) does depend on F but only through C F as defined above.
