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).
