We study some dynamical properties of composition operators defined on the space P( m X) of m-homogeneous polynomials on a Banach space X when P( m X) is endowed with two different topologies: the one of uniform convergence on compact sets and the one defined by the usual norm. The situation is quite different for both topologies: while in the case of uniform convergence on compact sets every power bounded composition operator is uniformly mean ergodic, for the topology of the norm there is no relation between the latter properties. Several examples are given.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 46G25, 47B33, 47A35, Secondary 46E50.

We investigate (uniform) mean ergodicity of weighted composition operators on the space of smooth functions and the space of distributions, both over an open subset of the real line. Among other things, we prove that a composition operator with a real analytic diffeomorphic symbol is mean ergodic on the space of distributions if and only if it is periodic with period 2. Our results are based on a characterization of mean ergodicity in terms of Cesàro boundedness and a growth property of the orbits for operators on Montel spaces which is of independent interest.

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for mean ergodicity, power boundedness, and topologizability for weighted backward shift and weighted forward shift operators, respectively, on Köthe echelon spaces in terms of the weight sequence and the Köthe matrix. These conditions are evaluated for the special case of power series spaces which allow for a characterization of said properties in many cases. In order to demonstrate the applicability of our conditions, we study the above properties for several classical operators on certain function spaces.
