Abstract
It is well known that on the Hardy space H2({ie651-1}) or weighted Bergman space A 2α ({ie651-1}) over the unit disk, the adjoint of a linear fractional composition operator equals the product of a composition operator and two Toeplitz operators. On S2({ie651-1}), the space of analytic functions on the disk whose first derivatives belong to H2({ie651-1}), Heller showed that a similar formula holds modulo the ideal of compact operators. In this paper we investigate what the situation is like on other weighted Hardy spaces.
