We give an elementary proof of an analogue of Fejér's theorem in weighted Dirichlet spaces with superharmonic weights. This provides a simple way of seeing that polynomials are dense in such spaces.
The Hadamard product of two power series is obtained by multiplying them coefficientwise. In this paper we characterize those power series that act as Hadamard multipliers on all weighted Dirichlet spaces on the disk with superharmonic weights, and we obtain sharp estimates on the corresponding multiplier norms. Applications include an analogue of Fejér's theorem in these spaces, and a new estimate for the weighted Dirichlet integrals of dilates.
Let $X$ be a Banach holomorphic function space on the unit disk. A linear polynomial approximation scheme for $X$ is a sequence of bounded linear operators $T_n:X\to X$ with the property that, for each $f\in X$, the functions $T_n(f)$ are polynomials converging to $f$ in the norm of the space. We completely characterize those spaces $X$ that admit a linear polynomial approximation scheme. In particular, we show that it is NOT sufficient merely that polynomials be dense in $X$.
The Gleason-Kahane-Żelazko theorem states that a linear functional on a Banach algebra that is non-zero on invertible elements is necessarily a scalar multiple of a character. Recently this theorem has been extended to certain Banach function spaces that are not algebras. In this article we present a brief survey of these extensions.
We show that, if $f$ is an outer function and $a\in[0,1)$, then the set of functions $\{\log |(f\circψ)^*|: ψ:\mathcal{D}\to\mathcal{D} \text{ holomorphic}, |ψ(0)|\le a\}$ is uniformly integrable on the unit circle. As an application, we derive a simple proof of the fact that, if $f$ is outer and $ϕ:\mathcal{D}\to\mathcal{D}$ is holomorphic, then $f\circϕ$ is outer.
The classical theorems of Mittag-Leffler and Weierstrass show that when $\{λ_n\}$ is a sequence of distinct points in the open unit disk $\D$, with no accumulation points in $\D$, and $\{w_n\}$ is any sequence of complex numbers, there is an analytic function $ϕ$ on $\D$ for which $ϕ(λ_n) = w_n$. A celebrated theorem of Carleson \cite{MR117349} characterizes when, for a bounded sequence $\{w_n\}$, this interpolating problem can be solved with a bounded analytic function. A theorem of Earl \cite{MR284588} goes further and shows that when Carleson's condition is satisfied, the interpolating function $ϕ$ can be a constant multiple of a Blaschke product. In this paper, we explore when the interpolating $ϕ$ can be an outer function. We then use our results to refine a result of McCarthy \cite{MR1065054} and explore the common range of the co-analytic Toeplitz operators on a model space.
We show that, in every weighted Dirichlet space on the unit disk with superharmonic weight, the Taylor series of a function in the space is $(C,α)$-summable to the function in the norm of the space, provided that $α>1/2$. We further show that the constant $1/2$ is sharp, in marked contrast with the classical case of the disk algebra.
We construct a Hilbert holomorphic function space $H$ on the unit disk such that the polynomials are dense in $H$, but the odd polynomials are not dense in the odd functions in $H$. As a consequence, there exists a function $f$ in $H$ that lies outside the closed linear span of its Taylor partial sums $s_n(f)$, so it cannot be approximated by any triangular summability method applied to the $s_n(f)$. We also show that there exists a function $f$ in $H$ that lies outside the closed linear span of its radial dilates $f_r, ~r<1$.
In this note, we describe the backward shift invariant subspaces for a large class of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. This class includes in particular de Branges-Rovnyak spaces (the non-extreme case) and the range space of co-analytic Toeplitz operators.
We show that, for many holomorphic function spaces on the unit disk, a continuous endomorphism that sends inner functions to inner functions is necessarily a weighted composition operator.
We give a simple proof of the fact that a finite measure $μ$ on the unit disk is a Carleson measure for the Dirichlet space if it satisfies the Carleson one-box condition $μ(S(I))=O(ϕ(|I|))$, where $ϕ:(0,2π]\to(0,\infty)$ is an increasing function such that $\int_0^{2π}(ϕ(x)/x)\,dx<\infty$. We further show that the integral condition on $ϕ$ is sharp.
In most classical holomorphic function spaces on the unit disk in which the polynomials are dense, a function $f$ can be approximated in norm by its dilates $f_r(z):=f(rz)~(r<1)$, in other words, $\lim_{r\to1^-}\|f_r-f\|=0$. We construct a de Branges-Rovnyak space ${\mathcal H}(b)$ in which the polynomials are dense, and a function $f\in{\mathcal H}(b)$ such that $\lim_{r\to1^-}\|f_r\|_{{\mathcal H}(b)}=\infty$. The essential feature of our construction lies in the fact that $b$ is an outer function.
We show that every linear functional on the Dirichlet space that is non-zero on nowhere-vanishing functions is necessarily a multiple of a point evaluation. Continuity of the functional is not assumed. As an application, we obtain a characterization of weighted composition operators on the Dirichlet space as being exactly those linear maps that send nowhere-vanishing functions to nowhere-vanishing functions. We also investigate possible extensions to weighted Dirichlet spaces with superharmonic weights. As part of our investigation, we are led to determine which of these spaces contain functions that map the unit disk onto the whole complex plane.
In this paper we survey and bring together several approaches to obtaining inner functions for Toeplitz operators. These approaches include the classical definition, the Wold decomposition, the operator-valued Poisson Integral, and Clark measures. We then extend these notions somewhat to inner functions on model spaces. Along the way we present some novel examples.
In this paper we characterize the zero sets of functions from $\ell^{p}_{A}$ (the analytic functions on the open unit disk $D$ whose Taylor coefficients form an $\ell^p$ sequence) by developing a concept of an "inner function" modeled by Beurling's discussion of the Hilbert space $\ell^{2}_{A}$ (the classical Hardy space). The zero set criterion is used to construct families of zero sets which are not covered by classical results. In particular, it is proved that when $p > 2$, there are zero sets for $\ell^{p}_{A}$ which are not Blaschke sequences.
In this paper we explore the notion of inner function in a broader context of operator theory.
Inspired by Clarkson's inequalities for $L^p$ and continuing work from \cite{CR}, this paper computes the optimal constant $C$ in the weak parallelogram laws $$ \|f + g \|^r + C\|f - g\|^r \leq 2^{r-1}\big( \|f\|^r + \|g\|^r \big), $$ $$ \|f + g \|^r + C\|f- g \|^r \geq 2^{r-1}\big( \|f\|^r + \|g \|^r \big)$$ for the $L^p$ spaces, $1 < p < \infty$.
In this expository article, we present a number of classic theorems that serve to identify the closure in the sup-norm of various sets of Blaschke products, inner functions and their quotients, as well as the closure of the convex hulls of these sets. The results presented include theorems of Carathéodory, Fisher, Helson-Sarason, Frostman, Adamjan-Arov-Krein, Douglas-Rudin and Marshall. As an application of some of these ideas, we obtain a simple proof of the Berger-Stampfli spectral mapping theorem for the numerical range of an operator.
