Abstract

AbstractWe give algebraic criteria for distinguishing composition operators among all continuous linear operators on spaces of continuous functions with topologies generated by seminorms that are weighted analogues of the supremum norm. In another direction, we also characterize those self maps of the underlying topological space which induce composition operators on such weighted spaces, as well as determine conditions on these self maps which correspond to various basic properties of the induced composition operator. Our results are applied to a question concerning translation invariance which arises in the context of topological dynamics.
