Abstract

We study the composition operator CΨ induced by an analytic self-map Ψ of the unit ball BN in CN that extends to be smooth on over(B, -)N. When Ψ is of class C3 on over(B, -)N, we extend to weighted Bergman spaces W.R. Wogen's characterization of when CΨ is bounded on Hp (BN). Next, when Ψ is of class C4 on over(B, -)N, we show that if ε{lunate} > 0 and CΨ : Aαp (BN) → Aα + 1 / 4 - ε{lunate}p (BN), then CΨ is bounded on Aαp (BN). The discrete jump of size 1/4 in the exponent of the weight is sharp. Examples are given that show the assumption Ψ is smooth is essential in these theorems.
