ESSENTIAL NORM OF EXTENDED CESÀRO OPERATORS FROM ONE BERGMAN SPACE TO ANOTHER

Abstract

AbstractLet Ap(φ) be the pth Bergman space consisting of all holomorphic functions f on the unit ball B of ℂn for which $\|f\|^p_{p,\varphi }= \int _B |f(z)|^p \varphi (z) \,dA(z)\lt +\infty $, where φ is a given normal weight. Let Tg be the extended Cesàro operator with holomorphic symbol g. The essential norm of Tg as an operator from Ap (φ) to Aq (φ) is denoted by $\|T_g\|_{e, A^p (\varphi )\to A^q (\varphi )} $. In this paper it is proved that, for p≤q, with 1/k=(1/p)−(1/q) , where ℜg(z) is the radial derivative of g; and for p>q, with 1/s=(1/q)−(1/p) .
