Abstract:
We prove that any composition operator with maximal norm on one of the weighted Bergman spaces (in particular, on the space ) is induced by a disk automorphism or a map that fixes the origin. This result demonstrates a major difference between the weighted Bergman spaces and the Hardy space , where every inner function induces a composition operator with maximal norm.
