Abstract

Let φ be an analytic self-map of the unit disk D. The composition operator with symbol φ is denoted by Cφ. Reverse Carleson type conditions, counting functions and sampling sets are important tools to give a complete characterization of closed range composition operators on BMOA and on Qp for all p ∈ (0,∞).

Let B denote the Bloch space, let H2 denote the Hardy space. We show that if Cφ is closed range on B or on H2 then it is also closed range on BMOA. Closed range composition operators Cφ : B → BMOA are also characterized. Laitila found the isometries among composition operators on BMOA. We extend this to Qp for all p ∈ (0, ∞).
