A NOTE ON A TWO-PARAMETER FAMILY OF OPERATORS c ON WEIGHTED BERGMAN SPACES
Abstract. In this article, we prove that the two-parameter family of operators Ab'c is bounded on the weighted Bergman spaces Bpa+c-1 if a + 2 < p and unbounded if a + 2 = p.
Key words: Generalized Cesaro operator, weighted Bergman space, boundedness

1. Introduction. Let D denote the unit disc in the complex plane C, dD its boundary, H(D) the set of all analytic functions on D and dm(-) = 1/n r drdd the normalized Lebesgue area measure on D. For 0 < p < <x, the weighted Bergman space for —1 < a < consists of functions f E H(D), such that
Bp = (a + 1)/ |f (z)|p(1 — |z|2)adm(z) =

To define the adjoint of the generalized Cesaro operator, we need the Gaussian hypergeometric function. Let (a,n) be the shifted factorial defined by Appel's symbol
r(a + n)
(a, n) = a(a + 1)... (a + n — 1) = ^ . ;, n E N = {1, 2, 3,...}
r(a)

and (a, 0) = 1 for a = 0. The Gaussain hypergeometric function is defined by the power series expansion
F(a,b; c; z) =
n=0
(a, n)(b, n) zn (c,n)
n!
(|z| < 1),
where a, b, c are complex numbers, such that c = —m, m = 0,1, 2, 3,..., and we assume c = —m, m = 0,1, 2, 3,..., to avoid zero denominators. Clearly, F(a,b, c, z) belongs to H(D). Many properties of the hypergeometric functions are found in [1]. Asymptotic behavior of the zero-balanced (i. e., the c = a+b case) is well-known. For the non-zero balanced case, improved formulation is obtained in [4,12], whereas the geometric properties of Gaussian hypergeometric functions are considered, for example, in [9,10]. The same problems for linear and convolution operator are dealt with in [11].
Let b, c E C with Reb > 0, Re c > 0. For a function f (z) = anzn, f (z) E H(D), the two-parameter family of Cesaro averaging operators Pb'c is given by
Pb,cf (z) = E( TbTIC E bn-kak

for k ^ 1. The operators Pb'c were introduced in [2] and have been studied for boundedness on various function spaces, such as Hp, BMOA, Ba [7,8], on mixed norm spaces [6], as well as on the Dirichlet space [7]. For b = 1 + a and c = 1, we obtain the generalized Cesaro operators p 1+7,1 = c7 introduced in [14]. It is known that operators CY are bounded on the Hardy space for 0 < p < x>, BMOA, and Bloch space [17] and on the Dirichlet space [16].
For b,c E C, such that Reb > 0, Rec > 0, let Ab,c be the adjoint operator of Pb,c, given by
Abcf (z) = EE
n=0

where f (z) = ^=0 anzn E H(D) and Ablkc and bb are the same as defined for Pb'c. These operators were formally introduced in [3] and studied for boundedness on the space of Cauchy transforms. In the notation of Stempak [14], we find that
A1+7>1f = AY f.
In particular, for y = 0
00
A"f = Af = £ Ei+I a z'"
n=0 \b=n /
where AY is the adjoint operator of the generalized Cesaro operator C1 (see [17]). If y = 0, the AY is simply adjoint of the classical Cesaro operator C (see [13]). Now we recall a known result that gives an integral representation of the operator Ab'c.
Lemma 1. [3] Let b,c E C with Re b > 0, Re c > 1 and function ft,s(z) = 1 — t — s + st + tz. Then
1 1
Ab,cf (z) = mJJ sc-2(1 — t)b-1f (^t,s(z)) * F(c,1; 1; ^t,s(z))dsdt,
00
where M = (1 + b — c)(c — 1).
Here * denotes the Hadamard product (or convolution) of power series. That is, if f (z) = Y1 ^=0 anzn and g(z) = Y1 ^=0 bnzn are two analytic functions in |z| < R, then convolution between f and g is denoted by f * g and is defined by (f * g)(z) = ^=0 anbnzn. This series converges for |z| < R2. Moreover,
(f * g)(z) = 2ni i f (w)g(z/w)|z| < pR < R2. ln% J w
|w| =p
2. Preliminary results. In this section, we recall few preliminary results, which are used to state and prove the main results of this article. The adjoint operator was considered in [13] for the case (y = 0) and in [17]. In [13], Siskakis proved the following result.
Theorem 1. The operator A is bounded on the weighted Bergman space BOa if and only if a + 2 < p.
Stevic proved, in [15], a generalization of Theorem 1 for the operators AY, when y = 0:
Theorem 2. The operator AY is bounded on the weighted Bergman space Bp if and only if a + 2 < p.
The main aim of this article is to generalize Theorem 2 by finding conditions on the parameters b and c for which the operators Ab'c are bounded on the weighted Bergman spaces.
We will use the following lemma in the sequel.
Lemma 2. [5, p. 65] For each 1 < a < ro there is a positive constant C = C(a), such that
f |1 - reie|-a d0 ^ C(1 - r)-(a-1),
if 0 ^ r < 1.
Henceforth, C, K, and C1 denote positive constants, whose values are different at different occurrences.
3. Main Results. In this section, we consider the so-called convolution operator and prove its boundedness on the weighted Bergman space Ba+c-1 for c ^ 1. Also, we state and prove the main result of this paper. From now onwards, we denote F(z) = F(1, c; 1; z) for all z E D.
Lemma 3. If p E [1, ro),a> -1, c ^ 1, f E Bpa, then f * F E Bpa+{c-1)p.
Proof. Let f E Bpa. Then

Using the definition of convolution and the fact that F(1, c; 1; z) = (1-z)-for 0 < r < p < 1, we have

From the above inequality, we find
(1 — p)(c—1)pM^(/ * F, r)(1 — r)adr ^K^ M^f,r) (1 — r)adr
where K = C/2n.
Now, taking r = p2, we have
Mp(f * F, p2)(1 — p2)a+(c—1)pdp2 ^

The last inequality and (2) give i

This completes the proof. □
Now we give an estimate on the norm of the convolution operator )
on Ba.
Theorem 3. Let p G (0, œ),a > — 1,c ^ 1,0 : D ^ D be a non-constant analytic function. Then the operator ) = (/ * F)(0), where F = F(1,c; 1, z) on Ba+c-1(D), satisfies the following inequality:
a + 2
IIW)Ik«_. S C (MKMV II/IIBp,
C = () if a > 0 and C = () (||0||» + |0(0)|)p +3|0(0)|)-p.
Proof. We will use the method of Siskakis [13]. Let a = |0(0)| and b = «0«» and fix 0 < r < 1. By the well known consequence of the Schwarz-pick lemma on the map 01 = b-10, we have |0(z)| ^ ^o+O^, for Izl ^ r. Since a ^ b, we have (o+br) ^ ((b-a)r+2a) for all 0 < r < 1,
^ ' (b+or) ^ (b+o) '
so |0(z)| ^ bR ^ R, where R = R(r) = ((b-b+r0+2o) for all 0 < r < 1. If f * F G Ba+c-1(D), let |(u * F)(z)| be the harmonic extension |(f * F)(Rei6>)|p on |z| ^ bR; |(u * F)(z)| is continuous on |z| ^ bR and majorizes |(f * F)(z)|p there, so
|(f * F)(0(z))|p ^ |(u * F)(0(z))| for |z| ^ r.
It follows that
2n 2n
M ((f * F)0,r) = J |(f * F)(0(rei0))|pd£ |(u * F)(0(rei0))|d0. (3) 0 0
Now, for 0 < p < 1,

2n

Finally, by Harnack's inequality and the Mean Value Theorem, we have

From (3), (4), and (5) and using Lemma 2, we obtain

Now multiply both sides of (6) by (1 - r2)ar and integrate with respect to r from 0 to 1 to get

Hence, the conclusion follows. □
The following results, regarding the boundedness of the composition operator on the Weighted Bergman space, was proved in [13], which is a particular case of c =1 of our result, as given in Theorem 3.
Corollary. Let 0 : D ^ D be a non-constant analytic function. Then the operator T^(/) = /o0 on Bp satisfies the following inequality:
a + 2
* c, u-r + |0(O)|\ p
where C =1 if a > 0 and C = (||0|U + |0(O)|)P(||0|U + 3|0(O)|)-P, -1 < a < 0.
Now we state and prove the main result of this article.
Theorem 4. Let b, c G C with Re(b) > 0 and c ^ 1. Then the operator Ab'c is bounded on the weighted Bergman space Bp+c-1 if a + 2 < p and unbounded for a + 2 = p.

Since n + c > 1, the first integral diverges. Hence, Ab'c(/1(z)) is unbounded.

Remark. It is still an open question, whether the operator Ab'c is bounded on the weighted Bergman space B^+c-1 for a + 2 > p.
