Weakly compact composition operators between vector valued weighted spaces of holomorphic functions

Let E be a complete, barrelled locally convex space, let V=(vn) be an increasing sequence of radial, continuous weights on the unit disc D of the complex plane, and let g be an analytic self map on D. We characterize when the composition operator Cg:f --> f o g from the vector valued weighted space HV(D, E) of holomorphic functions on D into itself maps bounded sets into relatively weakly compact subsets (i.e. it is reflexive), and when it maps a zero-neighborhood into a relatively weakly compact set (i.e., it is weakly compact). The case of one weight and a Banach space E was treated by Bonet, Doma\'nski and Lindström in [3].

The proof requires the following ingredients: (1) a study of reflexive and weakly compact wedge operators T --> LTR between spaces of continuous linear operators between complete, barrelled spaces (see Saksman and Tylli [4] for the case of Banach spaces), (2) a representation of the space HV(D, E) as a space of operators which complements the results of Bierstedt and Holtmanns [1], and (3) the extension of the characterizations of [2] for systems of weights.
