Conjecture on numerical ranges of composition operators with elliptic symbols
Let be the unit disk, let be the Hardy space on , and let denote the composition operator induced by an elliptic automorphism of finite order . Assume that the fixed point of is not .
Numerical-range conjecture. The numerical range of on is the interior of the convex hull of an algebraic curve of class and degree . Moreover, the real foci of the curve are exactly the eigenvalues of on , namely
This conjecture proposes a description of the numerical range in the higher-order elliptic case, extending the observed quadratic-curve behavior when the order is smaller. The source gives no resolution, so its status is open.
