Composition operators on the Privalov spaces of the unit ball of \(\mathbb{C}^n\). (English) Zbl 1062.32004

Summary: Let \(B\) and \(S\) be the unit ball and the unit sphere in \(\mathbb{C}^n\), respectively. Let \(\sigma\) be the normalized Lebesgue measure on \(S\).
Define the Privalov spaces \(N^p(B)\) \((1<p< \infty)\) by \[ N^p(B)=\left\{f\in H(B):\sup_{0 <r<1}\int_S\left\{\log \left(1+\left| f(r\zeta) \right|\right) \right\}^p d\sigma(\zeta)< \infty\right\}, \] where \(H(B)\) is the space of all holomorphic functions in \(B\). Let \(\varphi\) be a holomorphic self-map of \(B\). Let \(\mu\) denote the pull-back measure \(\sigma\circ(\varphi^*)^{-1}\).
We prove that the composition operator \(C_\varphi\) is metrically bounded on \(N^p(B)\) if and only if \(\mu({\mathcal S}(\zeta,\delta))\leq C\delta^n\) for some constant \(C\) and \(C_\varphi\) is metrically compact on \(N^p(B)\) if and only if \(\mu({\mathcal S} (\zeta,\delta))=o(\delta^n)\) as \(\delta\downarrow 0\) uniformly in \(\zeta\in S\).
Our results are an analogous results for MacCluer’s Carleson-measure criterion for the boundedness or compactness of \(C_\varphi\) on the Hardy spaces \(H^p(B)\).
