Essential Normality of automorphic composition operators

Abstract

We first characterize those composition operators that are essentially normal on the weighted Bergman space $A_s^2(D)$ for any real $s>-1$, where induced symbols are automorphisms of the unit disk $D$. Using the same technique, we investigate the automorphic composition operators on the Hardy space $H^2(B_N)$ and the weighted Bergman spaces $A_s^2(B_N)$ ($s>-1$). Furthermore, we give some composition operators induced by linear fractional self-maps of the unit ball $B_N$ that are not essentially normal.
