Abstract

Let E be a complex Banach space with open unit ball \(B_E.\) For analytic self-maps \(\varphi \) of \(B_E\) with \(\varphi (0) =0,\) we investigate the spectra of weighted composition operators \(uC_\varphi \) acting on a large class of spaces of analytic functions. This class contains, for example, weighted Banach spaces of \(H^\infty \)-type on \(B_E\), weighted Bergman spaces \(A^p_\alpha ({\mathbb {B}}_N)\) and Hardy spaces \(H^p({\mathbb {B}}_N).\) We present a general approach for deducing new information about the spectrum and for estimating the essential spectral radius of \(uC_\varphi .\)
