Geometric properties of the nonlinear resolvent of holomorphic generators

Let $f$ be the infinitesimal generator of a one-parameter semigroup $\left\{ F_{t}\right\} _{t\ge0}$ of holomorphic self-mappings of the open unit disk $Δ$. In this paper we study properties of the family $R$ of resolvents $(I+rf)^{-1}:Δ\toΔ~ (r\ge0)$ in the spirit of geometric function theory. We discovered, in particular, that $R$ forms an inverse Löwner chain of hyperbolically convex functions. Moreover, each element of $R$ satisfies the Noshiro-Warschawski condition and is a starlike function of order at least $\frac12$,. This, in turn, implies that each element of $R$ is also a holomorphic generator. We mention also quasiconformal extension of an element of $R.$ Finally we study the existence of repelling fixed points of this family.

Growth Estimates for the Numerical Range of Holomorphic Mappings and Applications

The numerical range of holomorphic mappings arises in many aspects of nonlinear analysis, finite and infinite dimensional holomorphy, and complex dynamical systems. In particular, this notion plays a crucial role in establishing exponential and product formulas for semigroups of holomorphic mappings, the study of flow invariance and range conditions, geometric function theory in finite and infinite dimensional Banach spaces, and in the study of complete and semi-complete vector fields and their applications to starlike and spirallike mappings, and to Bloch (univalence) radii for locally biholomorphic mappings. In the present paper we establish lower and upper bounds for the numerical range of holomorphic mappings in Banach spaces. In addition, we study and discuss some geometric and quantitative analytic aspects of fixed point theory, nonlinear resolvents of holomorphic mappings, Bloch radii, as well as radii of starlikeness and spirallikeness.

Abel averages and holomorphically pseudo-contractive maps in Banach spaces

A class of maps in a complex Banach space is studied, which includes both unbounded linear operators and nonlinear holomorphic maps. The defining property, which we call {\sl pseudo-contractivity}, is introduced by means of the Abel averages of such maps. We show that the studied maps are dissipative in the spirit of the classical Lumer-Phillips theorem. For pseudo-contractive holomorphic maps, we establish the power convergence of the Abel averages to holomorphic retractions.

Growth estimates for pseudo-dissipative holomorphic maps in Banach spaces

In this paper we introduce a class of pseudo-dissipative holomorphic maps which contains, in particular, the class of infinitesimal generators of semigroups of holomorphic maps on the unit ball of a complex Banach space. We give a growth estimate for maps of this class. In particular, it follows that pseudo-dissipative maps on the unit ball of (infinite-dimensional) Banach spaces are bounded on each domain strictly contained inside the ball. We also present some applications.

Boundary behavior of infinitesimal generators in the unit ball

We prove a Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory type theorem for infinitesimal generators on the unit ball in C^n. Moreover, we study jets expansions at the boundary and give necessary and sufficient conditions on such jets for an infinitesimal generator to generate a group of automorphisms of the ball.

Power convergence of Abel averages

Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for the Abel averages of discrete and strongly continuous semigroups, $T^k$ and $T_t$, to be power convergent in the operator norm in a complex Banach space. These results cover also the case where $T$ is unbounded and the corresponding Abel average is defined by means of the resolvent of $T$. They complement the classical results by Michael Lin establishing sufficient conditions for the corresponding convergence for a bounded $T$.

A generalized version of the Earle-Hamilton fixed point theorem for the Hilbert ball

Let $D$ be a bounded domain in a complex Banach space. According to the Earle-Hamilton fixed point theorem, if a holomorphic mapping $F : D \mapsto D$ maps $D$ strictly into itself, then it has a unique fixed point and its iterates converge to this fixed point locally uniformly. Now let $\mathcal{B}$ be the open unit ball in a complex Hilbert space and let $F : \mathcal{B} \mapsto \mathcal{B}$ be holomorphic. We show that a similar conclusion holds even if the image $F(\mathcal{B})$ is not strictly inside $\mathcal{B}$, but is contained in a horosphere internally tangent to the boundary of $\mathcal{B}$. This geometric condition is equivalent to the fact that $F$ is asymptotically strongly nonexpansive with respect to the hyperbolic metric in $\mathcal{B}$.

Boundary behavior and rigidity of semigroups of holomorphic mappings

In this paper we give some quantative characteristics of boundary asymptotic behavior of semigroups of holomorphic self-mappings of the unit disk including the limit curvature of their trajectories at the boundary Denjoy--Wolff point. This enable us to establish an asymptotic rigidity property for semigroups of parabolic type.

Separation of Boundary Singularities for Holomorphic Generators

We prove a theorem on separation of boundary null points for generators of continuous semigroups of holomorphic self-mappings of the unit disk in the complex plane. Our construction demonstrates the existence and importance of a particular role of the binary operation $\circ$ given by $1 / f \circ g = 1/f + 1/g$ on generators.

Linearization models for parabolic dynamical systems via Abel's functional equation

We study linearization models for continuous one-parameter semigroups of parabolic type. In particular, we introduce new limit schemes to obtain solutions of Abel's functional equation and to study asymptotic behavior of such semigroups. The crucial point is that these solutions are univalent functions convex in one direction. In a parallel direction, we find analytic conditions which determine certain geometric properties of those functions, such as the location of their images in either a half-plane or a strip, and their containing either a half-plane or a strip. In the context of semigroup theory these geometric questions may be interpreted as follows: is a given one-parameter continuous semigroup either an outer or an inner conjugate of a group of automorphisms? In other words, the problem is finding a fractional linear model of the semigroup which is defined by a group of automorphisms of the open unit disk. Our results enable us to establish some new important analytic and geometric characteristics of the asymptotic behavior of one-parameter continuous semigroups of holomorphic mappings, as well as to study the problem of existence of a backward flow invariant domain and its geometry.

A rigidity theorem for holomorphic generators on the Hilbert ball

We present a rigidity property of holomorphic generators on the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ of a Hilbert space $H$. Namely, if $f\in\Hol (\mathbb{B},H)$ is the generator of a one-parameter continuous semigroup ${F_t}_{t\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{B}$ such that for some boundary point $τ\in \partial\mathbb{B}$, the admissible limit $K$-$\lim\limits_{z\toτ}\frac{f(x)}{\|x-τ\|^{3}}=0$, then $f$ vanishes identically on $\mathbb{B}$.

Another look at the Burns-Krantz Theorem

We obtain a generalization of the Burns-Krantz rigidity theorem for holomorphic self-mappings of the unit disk in the spirit of the classical Schwarz-Pick Lemma and its continuous version due to L.Harris via the generation theory for one-parameter semigroups. In particular, we establish geometric and analytic criteria for a holomorphic function on the disk with a boundary null point to be a generator of a semigroup of linear fractional transformations under some relations between three boundary derivatives of the function at this point.

Commuting semigroups of holomorphic mappings

Let $S_{1}=\left\{F_t\right\}_{t\geq 0}$ and $S_{2}=\left\{G_t\right\}_{t\geq 0}$ be two continuous semigroups of holomorphic self-mappings of the unit disk $Δ=\{z:|z|<1\}$ generated by $f$ and $g$, respectively. We present conditions on the behavior of $f$ (or $g$) in a neighborhood of a fixed point of $S_{1}$ (or $S_{2}$), under which the commutativity of two elements, say, $F_1$ and $G_1$ of the semigroups implies that the semigroups commute, i.e., $F_{t}\circ G_{s}=G_{s}\circ F_{t}$ for all $s,t\geq 0$. As an auxiliary result, we show that the existence of the (angular or unrestricted) $n$-th derivative of the generator $f$ of a semigroup $\left\{F_t\right\}_{t\geq 0}$ at a boundary null point of $f$ implies that the corresponding derivatives of $F_{t}$, $t\geq 0$, also exist, and we obtain formulae connecting them for $n=2,3$.

Controlled approximation and interpolation for some classes of holomorphic functions

This paper reports on constructive approximation methods for three classes of holomorphic functions on the unit disk which are closely connected each other: the class of starlike and spirallike functions, the class of semigroup generators, and the class of functions with positive real part. It is more-or-less known that starlike or spirallike functions can be defined as solutions of singular differential equations which, in general, are not stable under the motion of interior singular points to the boundary. At the same time, one can establish a perturbation formula which continuously transforms a starlike (or spirallike) function with respect to a boundary point to a starlike (or spirallike) function with respect to an interior point. This formula is based on an appropriate approximation method of holomorphic generators which determine the above-mentioned differential equations. In turn, the well-known Berkson--Porta parametric representation of holomorphic generators leads us to study an approximation-interpolation problem for the class of functions with positive real part. While this problem is of independent interest, the solution we present here is again based on the Berkson--Porta formula. Finally, we apply our results to solve a natural perturbation problem for one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-mappings, as well as the eigenvalue problem for the semigroup of composition operators.

A flower structure of backward flow invariant domains for semigroups

In this paper, we study conditions which ensure the existence of backward flow invariant domains for semigroups of holomorphic self-mappings of a simply connected domain $D$. More precisely, the problem is the following. Given a one-parameter semigroup $\mathcal S$ on $D$, find a simply connected subset $Ω\subset D$ such that each element of $\mathcal S$ is an automorphism of $Ω$, in other words, such that $\mathcal S$ forms a one-parameter group on $Ω$. On the way to solving this problem, we prove an angle distortion theorem for starlike and spirallike functions with respect to interior and boundary points.
