Spectra of algebras of holomorphic functions of bounded type

We prove that if U is a balanced H_b (U)-domain of holomorphy in Tsirelson's space then the spectrum of H_b (U) is identified with U. We derive theorems of Banach Stone type for algebras of holomorphic functions and algebras of holomorphic germs.     

Holomorphic liftings and Bergman kernel estimates for 𝒟ℱ𝒩‐domains

Let E be a 𝒟ℱ𝒩‐space and let U ⊂ E be open. By applying the nuclearity of the Fréchet space ℋ︁(U) of holomorphic functions on U we show that there are finite measures μ on U leading to Bergman spaces of μ ‐square integrable holomorphic functions. We give an explicit construction for μ by using infinite dimensional Gaussian measures. Moreover, we prove boundary estimates for the corresponding Bergman kernels K_μ on the diagonal and we give an application of our results to liftings of μ ‐square integrable Banach space valued holomorphic functions over U.

Gantmacher Type Theorems for Holomorphic Mappings

Given a holomorphic mapping of bounded type g ∈ H_b(U, F), where U ? E is a balanced open subset, and E, F are complex Banach spaces, let A : H_b(F) ∈ H_b(U) be the homomorphism defined by A(f) = fog for all f ∈ H_b(F). We prove that: (a) for F having the Dunford-Pettis property, A is weakly compact if and only if g is weakly compact; (b) A is completely continuous if and only if g(W) is a Dunford-Pettis set for every U-bounded subset W ? U. To obtain these results, we prove that the class of Dunford - Pettis sets is stable under projecti ve tensor products. Moreover, we diaracterize the reflexivity of the space H_b(U,F) and prove that E' and F have the Schur property if and only if H_b(U, F) has the Schur property. As an application, we obtain some results on linearization of holomorphic mappings.     

On approximation of affine Baire-one functions

It is known (G. Choquet, G. Mokobodzki) that a Baire-one affine function on a compact convex set satisfies the barycentric formula and can be expressed as a pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous affine functions. Moreover, the space of Baire-one affine functions is uniformly closed. The aim of this paper is to discuss to what extent analogous properties are true in the context of general function spaces. In particular, we investigate the function spaceH(U), consisting of the functions continuous on the closure of a bounded open setU⊂ℝ ^m and harmonic onU, which has been extensively studied in potential theory. We demonstrate that the barycentric formula does not hold for the spaceB ₁ ^b (H(U)) of bounded functions which are pointwise limits of functions from the spaceH(U) and thatB ₁ ^b (H(U)) is not uniformly closed. On the other hand, every Baire-oneH(U)-affine function (in particular a solution of the generalized Dirichlet problem for continuous boundary data) is a pointwise limit of a bounded sequence of functions belonging toH(U). It turns out that such a situation always occurs for simplicial spaces whereas it is not the case for general function spaces. The paper provides several characterizations of those Baire-one functions which can be approximated pointwise by bounded sequences of elements of a given function space.

The approximation property for spaces of holomorphic functions on infinite-dimensional spaces I

For an open subset U of a locally convex space E, let (H(U),τ₀) denote the vector space of all holomorphic functions on U, with the compact-open topology. If E is a separable Fréchet space with the bounded approximation property, or if E is a (DFC)-space with the approximation property, we show that (H(U),τ₀) has the approximation property for every open subset U of E. These theorems extend classical results of Aron and Schottenloher. As applications of these approximation theorems we characterize the spectra of certain topological algebras of holomorphic mappings with values in a Banach algebra.     

Algebras of holomorphic mappings in (DF)-spaces

Let U be an absolutely convex open subset of a complex barrelled (DF)-space E and let F be a commutative Banach algebra with identity. Let H_b(U, F) be the space of holomorphic mappings from U into F that are bounded on the U-bounded sets and let H_b (U, F) be the space of the holomorphic mappings from U into F that are uniformly weakly continuous on the U-bounded sets, both endowed with the topology τ_b of uniform convergence on the U-bounded sets. The spectra of (H_wu (U, F), τ_b) and (H_b(U, F), τ_b) are studied.     

The spectrum of an algebra of weakly continuous holomorphic mappings

Let U be an arbitrary absolutely convex open subset of a complex Banach space E and let F be a Banach algebra with identity. The spectrum of the algebra H_b(U, F) of the holomorphic mappings from U and F which are bounded on the U-bonded subsets of U is studied in case E′ has the approximation properly.     

The bounded approximation property for spaces of holomorphic mappings on infinite dimensional spaces

We study the bounded approximation property for spaces of holomorphic functions. We show that if U is a balanced open subset of a Fréchet–Schwartz space or (DFM )‐space E , then the space ??(U ) of holomorphic mappings on U , with the compact‐open topology, has the bounded approximation property if and only if E has the bounded approximation property.

On the distinguished character of the function spaces of holomorphic mappings of bounded type

Given two complex normed spaces E and F, F complete, and a balanced open subset U of E, we prove that the space $\text{H}$_(b(U, F) of the holomorphic mappings f: U → F of bounded type, endowed with its natural topology τ_b, is a distinguished quasi-normable Fréchet space, which is not a Schwartz space unless dim E < ∞ and dim F < ∞.     

Preduals of Spaces of Vector-Valued Holomorphic Functions

For U a balanced open subset of a Fréchet space E and F a dual-Banach space we introduce the topology on the space of holomorphic functions from U into F. This topology allows us to construct a predual for which in turn allows us to investigate the topological structure of spaces of vector-valued holomorphic functions. In particular, we are able to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalence and compatibility of various topologies on spaces of vector-valued holomorphic functions.     

On the Structure of Hv0(D) and hv0(D)

Weighted spaces of harmonic and holomorphic functions on the unit disc are discussed. It is shown that these spaces are always subspaces of c₀. Moreover, for many weights, it is shown that the weighted space of holomorphic functions has a basis.     

Homomorphisms and composition operators on algebras of analytic functions of bounded type

Let U and V be convex and balanced open subsets of the Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. In this paper we study the following question: given two Fréchet algebras of holomorphic functions of bounded type on U and V, respectively, that are algebra isomorphic, can we deduce that X and Y (or X^* and Y^*) are isomorphic? We prove that if X^* or Y^* has the approximation property and H_wu(U) and H_wu(V) are topologically algebra isomorphic, then X^* and Y^* are isomorphic (the converse being true when U and V are the whole space). We get analogous results for H_b(U) and H_b(V), giving conditions under which an algebra isomorphism between H_b(X) and H_b(Y) is equivalent to an isomorphism between X^* and Y^*. We also obtain characterizations of different algebra homomorphisms as composition operators, study the structure of the spectrum of the algebras under consideration and show the existence of homomorphisms on H_b(X) with pathological behaviors.     

On Singular Curves in the Case of Positive Characteristic

Nuclear convergence spaces are studied. It is shown that an L_e-embedded convergence vector space E is L_eL_M-embedded if it is Schwartz and satisfies a certain countability condition which expresses that the set of filters converging to zero is essentially countable. Further it is shown that if E is L_eL_M-embedded and nuclear, then the identity E → E can be approximated with finite operators in the equable continuous convergence structure on L(E, E). This result is used in the study of the spectrum Hom_cH_e(U) of the convergence algebra H_e(U) of holomorphic functions on a circled convex open set to prove sufficient conditions for the validity of the formula Hom_cH_e(U) ～ U.     

Linearization of functions

Given a space (U) of functions f:U which are continuous, we construct another space _*(U) and a map e:U *(U) linearizing all functions f (U) (i.e. there are L_{f *}(U) such that L_f^e=f). Such linearizations are stronger than mere preduals for (U), for example for (U)=₁, linearizations correspond to preduals of ₁ which are isomorphic to c₀. We also address the vector-valued case. A number of such linearizing constructions are to be found in the literarture, mostly for certain spaces of holomorphic functions. The procedure presented here generalizes all these special cases.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):46E10, 46G20     

The behaviour on the rays of functions from the Bergman and Fock spaces

In this note we study the behaviour of holomorphic functions from the Bergman and Fock spaces on the rays of the unit disc U and the complex plane ℂ. We obtain conditions on the finiteness of weighted L ²-integrals of those functions along rays.      

Weighted composition operators between weighted spaces of vector-valued holomorphic functions on Banach spaces

Let B(E, F) be the Banach Space of all continuous linear operators from a Banach Space E into a Banach space F. Let U_X and U_Y be balanced open subsets of Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. Let V and W be two Nachbin families of continuous weights on U_X and U_Y, respectively. Let HV(U_X, E) (or HV₀(U_X, E)) and HW(U_Y, F) (or HW₀(U_Y, F)) be the weighted spaces of vector-valued holomorphic functions. In this paper, we investigate the holomorphic mappings ? : U_Y → U_X and ψ : U_Y → B(E, F) which generate weighted composition operators between these weighted spaces.

Gröbner–Shirshov bases for brace algebras

Let A be a brace algebra. This structure implies that A is also a pre-Lie algebra. In this paper, we establish Composition-Diamond lemma for brace algebras. For each pre-Lie algebra L, we find a Gröbner–Shirshov basis for its universal brace algebra U_b(L). As applications, we determine an explicit linear basis for U_b(L) and prove that L is a pre-Lie subalgebra of U_b(L).
