In general, the Berezin range of an operator is not convex. Primarily, we focus on characterizing the convexity of the Berezin range for a class of composition operators acting on the Fock space on $\\mathbb{C}$ and the Dirichlet space of the unit disc $\\mathbb{D}$. We prove an analogue of the elliptic range theorem for the unitarily equivalent Berezin range of an operator on a two-dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space and characterize the convexity of the unitarily equivalent Berezin range for a bounded operator $T$ on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\\mathcal{H}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-06T09:38:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47B32", "52A10" ], "keywords": [ "composition operators", "related questions", "unitarily equivalent berezin range", "two-dimensional reproducing kernel hilbert space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
