This is an announcement for the paper "Some new properties of composition operators associated with lens maps" by Pascal Lefevre, Daniel Li, Herve Queffelec, and Luis Rodriguez-Piazza.

Abstract: We give examples of results on composition operators connected with lens maps. The first two concern the approximation numbers of those operators acting on the usual Hardy space $H^2$. The last ones are connected with Hardy-Orlicz and Bergman-Orlicz spaces $H^\psi$ and $B^\psi$, and provide a negative answer to the question of knowing if all composition operators which are weakly compact on a non-reflexive space are norm-compact.
