G. Lorentz in the nineteen fifties and we show how the atomic decomposition of the spaces Lp, 1 obtained by De Souza in 2010 can be used to characterize the multiplication and composition operators on these spaces. These characterizations, though obtained from a completely different perspective, confirm the various results obtained by S. C. Arora, G. Datt and S. Verma in different variants of the Lorentz Spaces. 1. Introduction In the early 1950s, Lorentz introduced the now famous Lorentz spaces Lp, q in his papers 1, 2 as a generalization of the Lp spaces. The parameters p and q encode the information about the size of a function; that is, how tall and how spread out a function is. The Lorentz spaces are quasi-Banach spaces in general, but th
