Abstract

Let g be an analytic function on the unit disc and consider the integration operator of the form \({T_g f(z) = \int_0^z fg'\,d\zeta}\). We derive estimates for the essential and weak essential norms of T g on the spaces H p and BMOA. In particular, on H 1 and BMOA the operator T g is weakly compact if and only if it is compact.
