Abstract. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a composition operator C φ on the Bloch space to have closed range. We show that when φ is univalent, it is sufficient to consider the action of C φ on the set of Möbius transforms. In this case the closed range property is equivalent to a specific sampling set satisfying the reverse Carleson condition.
For any analytic self-map ϕ of {z : |z| < 1} we give four separate conditions, each of which is necessary and sufficient for the composition operator Cϕ to be closed-range on the Bloch space B. Among these conditions are some that appear in the literature, where we provide new proofs. We further show that if Cϕ is closed-range on the Bergman space A 2 , then it is closed-range on B, but that the converse of this fails with a vengeance. Our analysis involves an extension of the Julia-Carathéodory Theorem.

We let A denote two-dimensional Lebesgue measure on D. The Bergman space A 2 is the collection of functions f that are analytic in D such thatAs a closed subspace of L 2 (A), A 2 forms a Hilbert space with respect to the inner product := D f gdA. The Bloch space B is the collection of functions f that are analytic in D such thatNow ||·|| B defines a norm on B, and under this norm B forms a Banach space. Moreover, ||f || A 2 ≤ 3||f || B for any function f that is analytic in D, and hence B ⊆ A 2 . A function ϕ that is analytic in D and that satisfies ϕ(D) ⊆ D is
