Interpolation by holomorphic automorphisms and embeddings in Cn

Let n > 1 and let C ⁿ denote the complex n-dimensional Euclidean space. We prove several jet-interpolation results for nowhere degenerate entire mappings F:C ⁿ →C ⁿ and for holomorphic automorphisms of C ⁿ on discrete subsets of C ⁿ.We also prove an interpolation theorem for proper holomorphic embeddings of Stein manifolds into C ⁿ.For each closed complex submanifold (or subvariety) M ⊂ C ⁿ of complex dimension m < n we construct a domain Ω ⊂C ⁿ containing M and a biholomorphic map F: Ω → C ⁿ onto C ⁿ with J F ≡ 1such that F(M) intersects the image of any nondegenerate entire map G:C ^n−m →C ⁿ at infinitely many points. If m = n − 1, we construct F as above such that C ⁿ ∖F(M) is hyperbolic. In particular, for each m ≥ 1we construct proper holomorphic embeddings F:C ^m →C ^m−1 such that the complement C ^m+1 ∖F(C ^m )is hyperbolic.     

Interpolation spaces between the Lipschitz class and the space of continuous functions

It is shown that the complex interpolation spaces and do not coincide with or and also that the couple is not a Calderón couple. Similar results are also obtained for the couples and when .

     

Interpolation by polyhedral functions

A polyhedral functionlp(Δ_n) (f). interpolating a function f, defined on a polygon Φ, is defined by a set of interpolating nodes Δ_n ?Φ and a partition P(Δ_n) of the polygon Φ into triangles with vertices at the points of Δ_n. In this article we will compute for convex moduli of continuity the quatities $$\begin{gathered} E (H_\Phi ^\omega ; P (\Delta _n )) = sup || f - l_{p(\Delta _n )} (f)||, \hfill \\ f \in H_\Phi ^\omega \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ and also give an asymptotic estimate of the quantities $$\begin{gathered} E_n (H_\Phi ^\omega ) = infinf E (H_\Phi ^\omega ; P (\Delta _n )). \hfill \\ \Delta _n P(\Delta _n ) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$      

Leafwise holomorphic functions

It is a well-known and elementary fact that a holomorphic function on a compact complex manifold is necessarily constant. The purpose of the present article is to investigate whether, or to what extent, a similar property holds in the setting of holomorphically foliated spaces.

     

Singular integrals along Lipschitz curves with holomorphic kernels

If γ(x)=x+iA(x),tan ^?1‖A′‖_∞<ω<π/2,S _ω ⁰ ={z∈C}| |argz|<ω, or, |arg(-z)|<ω} We have proved that if φ is a holomorphic function in S _ω ⁰ and \(\left| {\varphi (z)} \right| \leqslant \frac{C}{{\left| z \right|}}\) , denotingT f (z)= ∫?(z-ζ)f(ζ)dζ, ?f∈C ₀(γ), ?z∈suppf, where C_c(γ) denotes the class of continuous functions with compact supports, then the following two conditions are equivalent:

1. T can be extended to be a bounded operator on L²(γ);
2. there exists a function ?₁ ∈H ^∞(S _ω ⁰ ) such that ?′₁(z)=?(z)+?(-z), ?z∈S _ω ⁰ ?z∈S _w ⁰ .

     

Algebras generated by two bounded holomorphic functions

We study the closure in the Hardy space or the disk algebra of algebras generated by two bounded functions, one of which is a finite Blaschke product. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for density or finite codimension (of the closure) of such algebras. The conditions are expressed in terms of the inner part of a certain function which is explicitly derived from each pair of generators. Our results are based on identifyingz-invariant subspaces included in the closure of the algebra.

Approximation of holomorphic functions by Taylor-Abel-Poisson means

We investigate the problem of approximation of functions ƒ holomorphic in the unit disk by means A _{ρ, r} (f) as ρ → 1−. In terms of the error of approximation by these means, a constructive characteristic of classes of holomorphic functions H _p ^r Lipα is given. The problem of the saturation of A _{ρ, r} (f) in the Hardy space H _p is solved. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 59, No. 9, pp. 1253–1260, September, 2007.     

Best approximation by holomorphic functions. Application to the best polynomial approximation of classes of holomorphic functions

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which a real-valued function from , 1 ≤ p < ∞, is badly approximable by the Hardy subspace H _p ⁰ := {ƒ ∈ H _p : ƒ(0) = 0}. In a number of cases, we obtain the exact values of the best approximations in the mean of functions holomorphic in the unit disk by functions holomorphic outside this disk. We use the obtained results for finding the exact values of the best polynomial approximations and n-widths of some classes of holomorphic functions. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which the generalized Bernstein inequality for algebraic polynomials on the unit circle is true. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 59, No. 8, pp. 1047–1067, August, 2007.     

Vector-valued holomorphic functions revisited

Abstract. Let be open,X a Banach space and . We show that every is holomorphic if and only if every set inX is bounded. Things are different if we assume f to be locally bounded. Then we show that it suffices that is holomorphic for all , where W is a separating subspace of to deduce that f is holomorphic. Boundary Tauberian convergence and membership theorems are proved. Namely, if boundary values (in a weak sense) of a sequence of holomorphic functions converge/belong to a closed subspace on a subset of the boundary having positive Lebesgue measure, then the same is true for the interior points of , uniformly on compact subsets. Some extra global majorants are requested. These results depend on a distance Jensen inequality. Several examples are provided (bounded and compact operators; Toeplitz and Hankel operators; Fourier multipliers and small multipliers).

Interpolation by positive harmonic functions

A natural interpolation problem in the cone of positive harmonicfunctions is considered and the corresponding interpolatingsequences are geometrically described.
