Abstract

We study the order boundedness of composition operators induced by holomorphic self-maps of the open unit disc D. We consider these operators first on the Hardy spaces Hp 0 < p < ∞ and then on the Nevanlinna class N. Given a non-negative increasing function h on [0,∞[, a composition operator is said to be X,L_h-order bounded (we write (X,L_h)-ob) with X=Hp or X = N if its composition with the map f ↦ f*, where f* denotes the radial limit of f, is order bounded from X into Lh. We give a complete characterization and a family of examples in both cases. On the other hand, we show that the (N,log+L)-ob composition operators are exactly those which are Hilbert-Schmidt on H2. We also prove that the (N,Lq)-ob composition operators are exactly those which are compact from N into Hq.
