RT Journal Article T1 On the connected component of compact composition operators on the Hardy space A1 Gallardo Gutiérrez, Eva Antonia A1 González, María J. A1 Nieminen, Pekka J. A1 Saksman, Eero AB We show that there exist non-compact composition operators in the connected component of the compact ones on the classical Hardy space H-2. This answers a question posed by Shapiro and Sundberg in 1990. We also establish an improved version of a theorem of MacCluer, giving a lower bound for the essential norm of a difference of composition operators in terms of the angular derivatives of their symbols. As a main tool we use Aleksandrov-Clark measures.
