Let D be the open unit disk in the complex plane C. The Bergman space
is the Hilbert space of analytic functions f in D such that
![]() |
where dA is the normalized area measure on D. If
![]() |
are two functions in
, then the inner product of f and g is given by
![]() |
We study multiplication operators on
induced by analytic functions. Thus for
H
(D), the space of bounded analytic functions in D, we define
![]() |
by
![]() |
It is easy to check that M
is a bounded linear operator on
with
||M
||=||
||
=sup{|
(z)|:z
D}.
