Composition operators between Segal-Bargmann spaces

Authors:  Trieu Le

Summary:  For an arbitrary Hilbert space E, the Segal--Bargmann space H(E) is the reproducing kernel Hilbert space associated with the kernel K(x,y)=exp(x,y) for x,y in E. If φ:E1E2 is a mapping between two Hilbert spaces, then the composition operator Cφ is defined by Cφh=hφ for all hH(E2) for which hφ belongs to H(E1). We determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness and compactness of Cφ. In the special case where E1=E2=Cn, we recover results obtained by Carswell, MacCluer and Schuster. We also compute the spectral radii and the essential norms of a class of operators Cφ.
