Description
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the powers of a continuous composition operator on an arbitrary Banach space of holomorphic functions on the open unit disc of the complex plane. We show that for composition operators, one has the following dichotomy: either the powers converge uniformly or they do not converge even strongly. We also show that uniform convergence of the powers of an operator is very much related to the behaviour of the poles of the resolvent of on the unit circle and that all poles of the resolvent of the composition operator on are algebraically simple. Our results are applied to study the asymptotic behaviour of semigroups of composition operators associated with holomorphic semiflows.
