T n of length δ i and centered at e i(θ0i+δi/2) for i = 1, · · ·, n, then S(R) is given by
S(I i ) = {re iθ ∈ D : 1 − δ i < r < 1, θ i0< θ < θ i0+ δ i }.
For α > −1, 0 < p < ∞, recall that the weighted Bergman space A p

for z in D n and f ∈ H(D n)
It is interesting to characterize the composition operator on various analytic function spaces The book [2] contains plenty of information It is well known that composition operator is bounded on the Hardy space and the Bergman space
in the unit disc This result does not carry over to the case of several complex variables Singh and Sharma has showed in [7] that not every holomorphic
map from D n to D n induces a composition operator on H p (D n) For example,
ϕ(z1, z2) = (z1, z2) does not induce a bounded composition operator on H2(D n)
Jafari studied the composition operator on Bergman spaces A p
α (D n) in [6] His results can be stated as follows
Theorem A Let 1 < p < ∞, α > −1 and let ϕ be a holomorphic self-map
α (D n ) if and only if µ is an (compact) α Carleson measure.
Theorem B Let 1 < p < ∞ and α > −1 and let ϕ be a holomorphic self-map

In this paper, we study the weighted composition operators between differ-ent weighted Bergman spaces in polydiscs Some measure characterizations and
Trang 3function theoretic characterizations are given for the boundedness and compact-ness of the weighted composition operators

2 Measure Characterization of Weighted Composition Operators
In this section, we give the measure characterization of weighted composition operators between different weighted Bergman spaces For this purpose, we should need some lemmas which will be stated as follows
Definition 1 A finite, nonnegative, Borel measure µ on D n is said to be a
η − α Carleson measure if

Qn i=1 δ i 2+α = 0.
Remark When η = 1, the definition of Carleson measures for polydiscs is due
to Chang(see [1])
Modifying the proof of Theorem 2.5 in [5], we get the following lemma
Lemma 1 Suppose that 1 < p < ∞, α > −1, η ≥ 1 Let I be the identity
α (D n ) into L ηp (D n , µ) Then I is a bounded operator if and only if µ is an η − α Carleson measure.

f (z) =

j=1
(1 − α j z j)−(α+2)/p ,
where α j = (1 − δ j )e i(θ0j+δj/2)
It is easy to see that f (z) ∈ A p α (D n) In addition,
since on S(R),

Then the result follows from (1) and (3)
Conversely, suppose that (2) holds for all rectangles in T n Fix z ∈ D nand
let 1 − |z j|2= δ j , consider a polydisc W z centered at z and of radius δ j /2 in the
z j coordinate If R = I1× × I n is the rectangle on T n with I j centered at
z j /|z j | and |I j | = 2δ j , then W z ⊂ S(R) (see [5]) Therefore for any f ∈ A p
α (D n),
by the sub mean value property for |f |, we get (see [5])
|f (z)| ≤ Qn C

Since σ n,α (S(R)) = CQn

Now define

We will show that there exists a constant C independent of s such that
Given (6), since M is a sublinear operator of type (∞, ∞), it is obvious that
kM (f )k∞ ≤ kf k∞ If we define 1p = θ,1q = θ η , 0 < θ < 1, i.e q = pη, by the
Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem we obtain that

This prove (1)
Trang 5To complete the proof we need to show that if µ1(S(R)) ≤ Cσ n,α (S(R)), then (6) holds Let R z = I1× × I n denote rectangle on T n with I j denoting
intervals centered at z j /|z j | and of radius (1 − |I j |)/2 Let S z denote the corona
associated with R z Note that z ∈ S z, define
Z

|f |dσ n,α > s( + σ n,α (S z))o
It is easily to check that the following equality holds
Λ = {z ∈ D n : M (f ) > s} = [
>0
A s ,
i.e µ(Λ) = lim →0 µ(A s ) Furthermore, if z ∈ A s and S z are disjoint for the
different z ∈ Λ, then by (8) we have
z∈Λ

z∈Λ
Z
Sz
|f |dσ n,α ≤ kf k 1,α
Hence
z∈Λ
( + σ n,α (S z )) ≤ kf k 1,α (9)
Consider the last inequality (9), it shows that there are only finitely many z ∈
s so that their corresponding S z are disjoint From these extract the points,
are multiplied by five in each coordinate then the resulting sets cover A
s This follows from covering lemma Write the S z associated with these points as
S1, S2, , S l Since A
s⊂Sl k=1 5S k , S k are pairwise disjoint,
µ(A s) ≤ 5n

(see [5]) Also, by hypothesis
combining (9), (10) and (11), we get

Letting tend to zero we obtain
Using Lemma 1, we give a characterization of the boundedness of the weighted
composition operator ψC ϕ : A p α (D n ) → A ηp β (D n)
Theorem 1 Suppose that 1 < p < ∞, β, α > −1, η ≥ 1 Let ϕ be a

ψC ϕ : A p α (D n ) → A ηp β (D n) is bounded We are done
To characterize the compactness of weighted composition operators between different weighted Bergman spaces, we will need the following lemma, whose proof is an easy modification of that Proposition 3.11 in [2], we omit the proof
Lemma 2 Suppose that 1 < p < ∞, β, α > −1, η ≥ 1 Let ϕ be a holomorphic

are bounded in A p

t n(α+2) ≤ supµ(S(R))

Because {f k } converges uniformly to 0 on (1 − δ)D n , I2can be made arbitrarily
small by choosing large k Since is arbitrary, we have ψC ϕ f k → 0 in A ηp β (D n),
that is ψC ϕ : A p (D n ) → A ηp (D n) is compact This completes the proof
Trang 83 Function Theoretic Characterization of Weighted Composition Operators
In this section, we give some function theoretic characterizations of weighted composition operators For this purpose, we should first modify the Proposition
8 and Proposition 12 of [6] and give the following lemma

(i) µ is an η − α Carleson measure if and only if

Proof Suppose that (12) holds, we show that µ is an η − α Carleson measure.
Note that
R = {(e iθ1, · · ·, e iθn) ∈ T n : |θ i − (θ0)i | < δ i}
and
S = S(R) = {(r1e iθ1, · · ·, r n e iθn) ∈ D n : 1 − δ i < r i < 1, |θ i − (θ0)i | < δ i }.
Hence if z0 = 0, (12) implies that µ(D n ) ≤ M < ∞ Therefore we can assume that δ i <14 for all i Take(z0)i= 1 −δi

, then for all z ∈ S, we have

Hence µ is an η − α Carleson measure.
Conversely, suppose that µ is an η − α Carleson measure Let z0 ∈ D n, if
||z0|| ≤ 1, it is obviously that (12) holds, since the integrand can be bounded
uniformly Also, if |(z0)i | <34, the term corresponding to this i in the integrand
in (12) can be bounded So let us suppose |(z0)i | > 3 for all i, and let
