Composition Operators on Wiener amalgam Spaces

Abstract

For a complex function $F$ on $\mathbb C$, we study the associated composition operator $T_{F}(f):=F\circ f= F(f)$ on Wiener amalgam $W^{p,q}(\mathbb R^d) \ (1\leq p< \infty, 1\leq q<2).$ We have shown $T_{F} $ maps $W^{p, 1}(\mathbb R^d)$ to $W^{p,q}(\mathbb R^d)$ if and only if $F$ is real analytic on $\mathbb R^2$ and $F(0)=0.$ Similar result is proved in the case of modulation spaces $M^{p,q}(\mathbb R^d).$ In particular, this gives an affirmative answer to the open question proposed by Bhimani-Ratnakumar (J. Funct. Anal. 270 (2016), p.621-648).
