Spectrum of a composition operator with automorphic symbol

Robert F. Allen, Thong M. Le and Matthew A. Pons

Vol. 9 (2016), No. 5, 813–829
Abstract

We give a complete characterization of the spectrum of composition operators, induced by an automorphism of the open unit disk, acting on a family of Banach spaces of analytic functions that includes the Bloch space and BMOA. We show that for parabolic and hyperbolic automorphisms the spectrum is the unit circle. For the case of elliptic automorphisms, the spectrum is either the unit circle or a finite cyclic subgroup of the unit circle.
