| Abstract: In this paper it is shown that for "normally weighted" Bergman spaces of the unit disc, a composition operator is compact if and only if its inducing map has a finite angular derivative at no point of the unit circle. The same is true for the Hardy space H^p (0 < p < infinity) provided the inducing map is univalent. These results are completed for Hardy space, and unified for Bergman spaces, in my subsequent paper: The essential norm of a composition operator (Annals of Mathematics 125 (1987), 375--404), |
