Difference of Weighted Composition Operators Over the Ball

Abstract

Recently, Choe et al. obtained characterizations for bounded/compact differences of weighted composition operators acting from a standard weighted Bergman space into another over the unit disk. In this paper we extend those results to the ball setting. By devising a new approach regarding test functions, we improve the characterizations as well as the proofs. Namely, the Reproducing Kernel Thesis is added to the characterizations and our proofs, when restricted to the disk, are new and simpler. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
