Let \(\mathbb{D}\) be the unit disk in the complex plane ? and let H be a certain weight class of functions holomorphic in \(\mathbb{D}\). We establish conditions under which a given sequence of points A = »_k ? \(\mathbb{D}\) is the sequence of zeroes of a holomorphic function from H.     

Ribbon R-trees and holomorphic dynamics on the unit disk

Let denote the unit disk, viewed as a model for the hyperbolicplane. Under rescaling, takes on the appearance of a tree,with an additional ribbon structure coming from the cyclic orderingof its ends. In this paper, we show that branched coverings of ribbon treesnaturally compactify the space of proper holomorphic maps f: (, 0) (, 0), and use the structure of these ribbon treesto describe the limiting moduli of f.

Random holomorphic iterations and degenerate subdomains of the unit disk

Given a random sequence of holomorphic maps of the unit disk to a subdomain , we consider the compositions

The sequence is called the iterated function system coming from the sequence We prove that a sufficient condition on the domain for all limit functions of any to be constant is also necessary. We prove that the condition is a quasiconformal invariant. Finally, we address the question of uniqueness of limit functions.

     

Bounded holomorphic embeddings of the unit disk into Banach spaces

It is shown that, in contrast to ?ⁿ, infinite dimensional complex Banach spaces E can possess bounded complex closed submanifolds of positive dimension. If E contains c₀ or L¹/H ₀ ¹ then the unit disk D can be embedded into E as a bounded complex closed submanifold. If, however, E has the analytic Radon-Nikodym property then no bounded embedding exists. Acknowledgement: I thank W. Hensgen and M. Schottenloher for many stimulating discussions.     

Two results on the normality criterion concerning holomorphic functions

In this paper we generalize two known results concerning normal families of meromorphic functions. We first improve and extend a theorem of Liu and Nevo, using a completely different approach. Then we obtain a generalization of Gu’s normality criterion.     

Topological invariants for semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk

Let $({\phi }_t)$, $({?}_t)$ be two one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}?\mathbb{C}$. Let $f:\mathbb{D}\to \mathbb{D}$ be a homeomorphism. We prove that, if $f°{?}_t={\phi }_t°f$ for all $t\ge 0$, then f extends to a homeomorphism of $\stackrel{￣}{\mathbb{D}}$ outside exceptional maximal contact arcs (in particular, for elliptic semigroups, f extends to a homeomorphism of $\stackrel{￣}{\mathbb{D}}$). Using this result, we study topological invariants for one-parameter semigroups of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk.     

On the images of horodisks under holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk

Suppose that f is a holomorphic self map of the unit disk ${\mathbb{D}}$ . Recently several monotonicity results related to the image of smaller disks under f have been proved. These results extend the classical Schwarz lemma in various ways. We prove analogous monotonicity results in the context of Julia’s boundary Schwarz lemma. A horodisk is a disk internally tangent to the unit circle. For positive ${\lambda}$ , we denote by ${H_{\lambda}}$ the disk of radius ${\lambda/(1\,+\,\lambda)}$ centered at the point ${1/(1\,+\,\lambda)}$ . This is a horodisk that touches the unit circle at the point 1. Suppose that f(1) = 1 (in the sense of radial limit) and denote by ${f^{\prime}(1)}$ the angular derivative. By Julia’s lemma ${f(H_{\lambda})\,\subset H_{{\lambda}f^{\prime}(1)}}$ . Let ${\Psi_f(\lambda)\,=\,\inf\,\{\rho > 0 : f(H_{\lambda}) \subset H_\rho\}}$ . We show that the function ${\Psi_f(\lambda)/\lambda}$ is a decreasing function of ${\lambda}$ and that ${\lim_{\lambda\,\to\,0+} \Psi_f(\lambda)/\lambda = f^\prime(1)}$ . This result implies that the constant ${f^\prime(1)}$ in Julia’s lemma is the best possible.     

Bounded universal functions for sequences of holomorphic self-maps of the disk

We give several characterizations of those sequences of holomorphic self-maps {φ _n } _n≥1 of the unit disk for which there exists a function F in the unit ball of H ^∞ such that the orbit {F∘φ _n :n∈ℕ} is locally uniformly dense in . Such a function F is said to be a -universal function. One of our conditions is stated in terms of the hyperbolic derivatives of the functions φ _n . As a consequence we will see that if φ _n is the nth iterate of a map φ of into , then {φ _n } _n≥1 admits a -universal function if and only if φ is a parabolic or hyperbolic automorphism of . We show that whenever there exists a -universal function, then this function can be chosen to be a Blaschke product. Further, if there is a -universal function, we show that there exist uniformly closed subspaces consisting entirely of universal functions.     

Mapping properties of analytic functions on the unit disk

Let be analytic on the unit disk with . In 1989, D. Marshall conjectured the existence of the universal constant such that whenever the area, counting multiplicity, of a portion of over is . Recently, P. Poggi-Corradini (2007) proved this conjecture with an unspecified constant by the method of extremal metrics. In this note we show that such a universal constant exists for a much larger class consisting of analytic functions omitting two values of a certain doubly-sheeted Riemann surface. We also find a numerical value, , which is sharp for the problem in this larger class but is not sharp for Marshall's problem.

Bounded projectors in spaces of functions holomorphic in the unit ball

The paper studies some bounded operators in the Banach spaces L ^∞(B) and L ¹(B) over the unit ball B of ℂ ⁿ , the range of which are the corresponding holomorphic subspaces A _∞(φ) and A ¹(ϕ) depending on a normal pair of weight-functions {φ, ϕ}.     

Zero sets of holomorphic functions in the unit ball with slow growth

We study the zero-varieties of holomorphic functions in the unit ball satisfying the growth condition log |f(z)|≤c _fλ(|z|), where λ:(0,1)→ℝ⁺ is a positive increasing function. We obtain some sufficient conditions on an analytic variety to be defined by such a function. Some results for the particular case λ(r)=log(e/(1−r)), corresponding to the classA ^−∞, generalize those of B. Korenblum in one variable.

Maximal polynomial subordination to univalent functions in the unit disk

Let C be a simply connected domain, 0, and let _n,nN, be the set of all polynomials of degree at mostn. By _n() we denote the subset of polynomials p _n withp(0)=0 andp(D), whereD stands for the unit disk {z: |z|<1}, and=" by=">we denote the maximal range of these polynomials. Letf be a conformal mapping fromD onto ,f(0)=0.
