Solutions of Tikhonov Functional Equations and Applications to Multiplication Operators on Szegö Spaces

We consider a natural representation of solutions for Tikhonov functional equations. This will be done by applying the theory of reproducing kernels to the approximate solutions of general bounded linear operator equations (when defined from reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces into general Hilbert spaces), by using the Hilbert–Schmidt property and tensor product of Hilbert spaces. As a concrete case, we shall consider generalized fractional functions formed by the quotient of Bergman functions by Szegö functions considered from the multiplication operators on the Szegö spaces.     

Szegö and Polymonogenic Bergman Kernels for Half-Space and Strip Domains,and Single-Periodic Functions in Clifford Analysis

In this paper, we consider half-space domains (semi-infinite in one of the dimensions) and strip domains (finite in one of the dimensions) in real Euclidean spaces of dimension at least 2. The Szegö reproducing kernel for the space of monogenic and square integrable functions on a strip domain is obtained in closed form as a monogenic single-periodic function, viz a monogenic cosecant. The relationship between the Szegö and Bergman kernel for monogenic functions in a strip domain is explicitated in the transversally Fourier transformed setting. This relationship is then generalised to the polymonogenic Bergman case. Finally, the half-space case is considered specifically and the simplifications are pointed out.     

Reproducing Kernels and Conformal Mappings in

In this paper we look at the theory of reproducing kernels for spaces of functions in a Clifford algebra _{0, n}. A first result is that reproducing kernels of this kind are solutions to a minimum problem, which is a non-trivial extension of the analogous property for real and complex valued functions. In the next sections we restrict our attention to Szegö and Bergman modules of monogenic functions. The transformation property of the Szegö kernel under conformal transformations is proved, and the Szegö and Bergman kernels for the half space are calculated.     

On the Cauchy–Szegö Kernel for Quaternion Siegel Upper Half-Space

The work is dedicated to the construction of the Cauchy–Szegö kernel for the Cauchy–Szegö projection integral operator from the space of $L^2$ -integrable functions defined on the boundary of the quaternion Siegel upper half-space to the space of boundary values of the quaternion regular functions of the Hardy space over the quaternion Siegel upper half-space.     

A Comparison Between the Bergman and Szegö Kernels of the Non-smooth Worm Domain $$D'_{\upbeta }$$

In this work we provide an asymptotic expansion for the Szegö kernel associated to a suitably defined Hardy space on the non-smooth worm domain \(D'_{\upbeta }\). After describing the singularities of the kernel, we compare it with an asymptotic expansion of the Bergman kernel. In particular, we show that the Bergman kernel has the same singularities of the first derivative of the Szegö kernel with respect to any of the variables. On the side, we prove the boundedness of the Bergman projection operator on Sobolev spaces of integer order.     

An Integral Formula for Weighted Bergman Reproducing Kernels

An integral formula is obtained for reproducing kernels in weighted Bergman spaces with radial and logarithmically subharmonic weights in the unit disk. We deduce from it that these reproducing kernels have a special structure leading to the contractive divisor property of extermal functions.     

Effective methods of determining the modulus of doubly connected domains

The modulus of a doubly connected domain is determined by a quotient of certain kernel functions, namely the Bergman kernel, the reduced Bergman kernel and the square of the Szegö kernel. These methods are more efficient than methods involving the curvature of the Bergman metric.     

Ahlfors maps, the double of a domain, and complexity in potential theory and conformal mapping

We prove that the Bergman kernel function associated to a finitely-connected planar domain can be expressed as a rational combination of two independent Ahlfors maps associated to the domain plus the derivative of one of the maps. Similar results are shown to hold for the Szegö and Poisson kernels and other objects of potential theory. These results generalize routinely to the case of a relatively compact domain in a Riemann surface with finitely many boundary components.     

Ramadanov conjecture and line bundles over compact Hermitian symmetric spaces

We compute the Szegö kernels of the unit circle bundles of homogeneous negative line bundles over a compact Hermitian symmetric space. We prove that their logarithmic terms vanish in all cases and, further, that the circle bundles are not diffeomorphic to the unit sphere in ${\mathbb C^n}We compute the Szeg? kernels of the unit circle bundles of homogeneous negative line bundles over a compact Hermitian symmetric space. We prove that their logarithmic terms vanish in all cases and, further, that the circle bundles are not diffeomorphic to the unit sphere in \mathbb Cⁿ{\mathbb C^n} for Grassmannian manifolds of higher ranks. In particular, they provide an infinite family of smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains on complex manifolds for which the logarithmic term in the Fefferman expansion of the Szeg? kernel vanishes but whose boundary is not diffeomorphic to the sphere (in fact, it is not even locally spherical). The analogous results for the Bergman kernel are also obtained.     

Fundamentals of Bicomplex Pseudoanalytic Function Theory: Cauchy Integral Formulas, Negative Formal Powers and Schrödinger Equations with Complex Coefficients

The study of the Dirac system and second-order elliptic equations with complex-valued coefficients on the plane naturally leads to bicomplex Vekua-type equations (Campos et al. in Adv Appl Clifford Algebras, 2012; Castañeda et al. in J Phys A Math Gen 38:9207–9219, 2005; Kravchenko in J Phys A Math Gen 39:12407–12425, 2006). To the difference of complex pseudoanalytic (or generalized analytic) functions (Bers in Theory of pseudo-analytic functions. New York University, New York, 1952; Vekua in Generalized analytic functions. Nauka, Moscow (in Russian); English translation Oxford, 1962. Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1959) the theory of bicomplex pseudoanalytic functions has not been developed. Such basic facts as, e.g., the similarity principle or the Liouville theorem in general are no longer available due to the presence of zero divisors in the algebra of bicomplex numbers. In the present work we develop a theory of bicomplex pseudoanalytic formal powers analogous to the developed by Bers (Theory of pseudo-analytic functions. New York University, 1952) and especially that of negative formal powers. Combining the approaches of Bers and Vekua with some additional ideas we obtain the Cauchy integral formula in the bicomplex setting. In the classical complex situation this formula was obtained under the assumption that the involved Cauchy kernel is global, a very restrictive condition taking into account possible practical applications, especially when the equation itself is not defined on the whole plane. We show that the Cauchy integral formula remains valid with the Cauchy kernel from a wider class called here the reproducing Cauchy kernels. We give a complete characterization of this class. To our best knowledge these results are new even for complex Vekua equations. We establish that reproducing Cauchy kernels can be used to obtain a full set of negative formal powers for the corresponding bicomplex Vekua equation and present an algorithm which allows one their construction. Bicomplex Vekua equations of a special form called main Vekua equations are closely related to stationary Schrödinger equations with complex-valued potentials. We use this relation to establish useful connections between the reproducing Cauchy kernels and the fundamental solutions for the Schrödinger operators which allow one to construct the Cauchy kernel when the fundamental solution is known and vice versa. Moreover, using these results we construct the fundamental solutions for the Darboux transformed Schrödinger operators.     

Comparing the Bergman and Szegö projections on domains with subelliptic boundary Laplacian

We prove that the difference between the Bergman and Szegö projections on a bounded, pseudoconvex domain (with C ^∞ boundary) is smoothing whenever the boundary Laplacian is subelliptic. An equivalent statement is that the Bergman projection can be represented as a composition of the Szegö and harmonic Bergman projections (along with the restriction and Poisson extension operators) modulo an error that is smoothing. We give several applications to the study of optimal mapping properties for these projections and their difference.     

On the asymptotics of the on-diagonal Szegö kernel of certain Reinhardt domains

We compute the leading and subleading terms in the asymptotic expansion of the Szegö kernel on the diagonal of a class of pseudoconvex Reinhardt domains whose boundaries are endowed with a general class of smooth measures. We do so by relating it to a Bergman kernel over projective space.     

Szegö's limit theorem: The higher-dimensional matrix case

The continuous version of Szegö's theorem gives the first two terms of the asymptotics as α → ∞ of the determinants of certain convolution operators on L₂(0, α) with scalar-valued kernels. Generalizations are known if the kernel is matrix valued or if the interval (0, α) is replaced by αΩ with Ω a bounded set in Rⁿ with smooth boundary. This paper treats the higher-dimensional matrix case. The coefficient in the interesting (second) term is an integral over the contangent bundle of ?Ω of the correponding coefficients of one-dimensional problems.     

Best approximation of reproducing kernels of spaces of analytic functions

We obtain exact values for the best approximation of a reproducing kernel of a system of p-Faber polynomials by functions of the Hardy space H_q, p^-1 + q^-1 = 1 and a Szegö reproducing kernel of the space E²(Ω) in a simply connected domain Ωwith rectifiable boundary.     

Norm expansion along a zero variety

The reproducing kernel function of a weighted Bergman space over domains in Cd is known explicitly in only a small number of instances. Here, we introduce a process of orthogonal norm expansion along a subvariety of (complex) codimension 1, which also leads to a series expansion of the reproducing kernel in terms of reproducing kernels defined on the subvariety. The problem of finding the reproducing kernel is thus reduced to the same kind of problem when one of the two entries is on the subvariety. A complete expansion of the reproducing kernel may be achieved in this manner. We carry this out in dimension d=2 for certain classes of weighted Bergman spaces over the bidisk (with the diagonal z₁=z₂ as subvariety) and the ball (with z₂=0 as subvariety), as well as for a weighted Bargmann-Fock space over C² (with the diagonal z₁=z₂ as subvariety).     

Generalized dirac operators on nonsmooth manifolds and Maxwell's equations

We develop a function theory associated with Dirac type operators on Lipschitz subdomains of Riemannian manifolds. The main emphasis is on Hardy spaces and boundary value problems, and our aim is to identify the geometric and analytic assumptions guaranteeing the validity of basic results from complex function theory in this general setting. For example, we study Plemelj-Calderón-Seeley-Bojarski type splittings of Cauchy boundary data into traces of ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ monogenics and show that this problem has finite index. We also consider Szegö projections and the corresponding L^p-decompositions. Our approach relies on an extension of the classical Calderón-Zygmund theory of singular integral operators which allow one to consider Cauchy type operators with variable kernels on Lipschitz graphs. In the second part, where we explore connections with Maxwell's equations, the main novelty is the treatment of the corresponding electro-magnetic boundary value problem by recasting it as a ‘half’ Dirichlet problem for a suitable Dirac operator.     

Reproducing kernels for harmonic Bergman spaces of the unit ball

We study reproducing kernels for harmonic Bergman spaces of the unit ball inR ⁿ . We establish some new properties for the reproducing kernels and give some applications of these properties.     

Integral representations in general weighted Bergman spaces

We introduce fractional -integro-differentiation for functions holomorphic in the upper half-plane. It gives us a tool to construct Cauchy-Bergman type kernels associated with the weights Some estimates of the kernels enable us to obtain reproducing integral formulas for Bergman spaces with general weights which may decrease to zero with arbitrary rate near the origin. Accordingly, such Bergman functions have arbitrary growth near the real axis.     

Szegö and Bergman projections on non-smooth planar domains

We establish L^p regularity for the Szegö and Bergman projections associated to a simply connected planar domain in any of the following classes: vanishing chord arc; Lipschitz; Ahlfors-regular; or local graph (for the Szegö projection to be well defined, the local graph curve must be rectifiable). As applications, we obtain L^p regularity for the Riesz transforms, as well as Sobolev space regularity for the non-homogeneous Dirichlet problem associated to any of the domains above and, more generally, to an arbitrary proper simply connected domain in the plane.     

An Analogue of the Kerzman-Stein Formula for the Bergman and Szegö Projections

We show that the difference between the Bergman and Szegö projections on a smooth, bounded planar domain gains a derivative in the L ^p -Sobolev and Lipschitz spaces.
