Pullback operators on Bargmann spaces

Abstract

We characterize boundedness and compactness of pullback operators under holomorphic maps between Bargmann spaces of entire holomorphic functions with quadratic strictly plurisubharmonic exponential weights, extending a result of Carswell-MacCluer-Schuster obtained in the case of the radial quadratic weight. We also show that the pullback operator between Bargmann spaces is compact precisely when it is of trace class, with sub-exponentially decaying singular values.
