Abstract

We characterize the boundedness, compactness and weak compactness of Volterra operators \(V_{g}(f)(z) := \int _{0}^{z}f({\zeta })g^{\prime }({\zeta })\,d{\zeta }\) acting between different weighted spaces of type \(H^{\infty }_{v}\) in terms of the symbol function \(g\), for the case when \(v\) is a quasi-normal weight, a notion weaker than normality. Then we apply the characterization of compactness to analyze the behavior of semigroups of composition operators on \(H^{\infty }_{v}\).
