Compactification and decompactification by weights on Bergman spaces

Abstract

We characterize the symbols $\Phi$ for which there exists a weight w such that the weighted composition operator M w C $\Phi$ is compact on the weighted Bergman space B 2 $\alpha$. We also characterize the symbols for which there exists a weight w such that M w C $\Phi$ is bounded but not compact. We also investigate when there exists w such that M w C $\Phi$ is Hilbert-Schmidt on B 2 $\alpha$.
