Let $X$ be a Banach holomorphic function space on the unit disk. A linear polynomial approximation scheme for $X$ is a sequence of bounded linear operators $T_n:X\to X$ with the property that, for each $f\in X$, the functions $T_n(f)$ are polynomials converging to $f$ in the norm of the space. We completely characterize those spaces $X$ that admit a linear polynomial approximation scheme. In particular, we show that it is NOT sufficient merely that polynomials be dense in $X$.
The paper studies semi-almost periodic holomorphic functions on a polydisk which have, in a sense, the weakest possible discontinuities on the boundary torus. The basic result used in the proofs is an extension of the classical Bohr approximation theorem for almost periodic holomorphic functions on a strip to the case of Banach-valued almost periodic holomorphic functions.
A class of maps in a complex Banach space is studied, which includes both unbounded linear operators and nonlinear holomorphic maps. The defining property, which we call {\sl pseudo-contractivity}, is introduced by means of the Abel averages of such maps. We show that the studied maps are dissipative in the spirit of the classical Lumer-Phillips theorem. For pseudo-contractive holomorphic maps, we establish the power convergence of the Abel averages to holomorphic retractions.
Given a symbol $φ,$ i.e., a holomorphic endomorphism of the unit disc, we consider the composition operator $C_φ(f)=f\circφ$ defined on the Banach spaces of holomorphic functions $A(\mathbb{D})$ and $H^{\infty}(\mathbb{D})$. We obtain different conditions on the symbol $φ$ which characterize when the composition operator is mean ergodic and uniformly mean ergodic in the corresponding spaces. These conditions are related to the asymptotic behaviour of the iterates of the symbol. As an appendix, we deal with some particular case in the setting of weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions.
Some theorems on convex functions are proved and an application of these theorems in the theory of weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions is investigated, too. We prove that $H_v(G)$ and $H_{v_0}(G)$ are exactly the same spaces as $H_w(G)$ and $H_{w_0}(G)$ where $w$ is the smallest log-concave majorant of $v$. This investigation is based on the theory of convex functions and some specific properties of the weighted banach spaces of holomorphic functions under considaration and we do not use the theory of associated weights.
We investigate certain envelopes of open sets in dual Banach spaces which are related to extending holomorphic functions. We give a variety of examples of absolutely convex sets showing that the extension is in many cases not possible. We also establish connections to the study of iterated weak* sequential closures of convex sets in the dual of separable spaces.
In this article, we study the multi-dimensional Bohr radii of holomorphic functions defined on the Banach sequence spaces with values in the Banach spaces. For the case of finite dimensional Banach spaces, we exhibit the exact asymptotic growth of the Bohr radius. To achieve our goal in the finite case, we use $\ell_{p'}$-summability of certain coefficients of a given polynomial in terms of its uniform norm on $\ell_p^n$. The infinite case is handled using the techniques developed in recent years from the work of Defant, Maestre and Schwarting. We crucially use several properties of the symmet…
We study, to certain Banach spaces $X$, families of weighted composition operators. Notably, we show that if this family form a strongly continuous semigroup, then its infinitesimal generator ($Γ, D(Γ)$) is given by $Γf = gf+Gf^\prime$ with $D(Γ) = \{ f\in X \ | \ gf+Gf^\prime\in X \}$ where $g, G$ are holomorphic functions. Moreover, our second maim result is to study the reciprocal implication. That is if $(Γ, D(Γ))$, define like above, generate a strongly continuous semigroup, then this one is a family of weighted composition operators.
Given $\u$ a multiplicative sequence of polynomial ideals, we consider the associated algebra of holomorphic functions of bounded type, $H_{b\u}(E)$. We prove that, under very natural conditions verified by many usual classes of polynomials, the spectrum $M_{b\u}(E)$ of this algebra "behaves" like the classical case of $M_{b}(E)$ (the spectrum of $H_b(E)$, the algebra of bounded type holomorphic functions). More precisely, we prove that $M_{b\u}(E)$ can be endowed with a structure of Riemann domain over $E"$ and that the extension of each $f\in H_{b\u}(E)$ to the spectrum is an $\u$-holomorphi…
The authors lay the foundations for the study of normal families of holomorphic functions and mappings on an infinite-dimensional normed linear space. Characterizations of normal families, in terms of value distribution, spherical derivatives, and other geometric properties are derived. Montel-type theorems are established. A number of different topologies on spaces of holomorphic mappings are considered. Theorems about normal families are formulated and proved in the language of these various topologies. Normal functions are also introduced. Characterizations in terms of automorphisms and als…
We show that the duals of Banach algebras of scalar-valued bounded holomorphic functions on the open unit ball $B_E$ of a Banach space $E$ lack weak$^*$-strongly exposed points. Consequently, we obtain that some Banach algebras of holomorphic functions on an arbitrary Banach space have the Daugavet property which extends the observation of P. Wojtaszczyk. Moreover, we present a new denseness result by proving that the set of norm-attaining vector-valued holomorphic functions on the open unit ball of a dual Banach space is dense provided that its predual space has the metric $π$-property. Besid…
We study mean ergodic composition operators on infinite dimensional spaces of holomorphic functions of different types when defined on the unit ball of a Banach or a Hilbert space: that of all holomorphic functions, that of holomorphic functions of bounded type and that of bounded holomorphic functions. Several examples in the different settings are given.
Let $B(Ω)$ be the Banach space of holomorphic functions on a bounded connected domain $Ω$ in $\mathbb C^n$, which contains the ring of polynomials on $Ω$. In this paper, we first establish a criterion for $B(Ω)$ to be reflexive via evaluation functions on $B(Ω)$, that is, $B(Ω)$ is reflexive if and only if the evaluation functions span the dual spaces $(B(Ω))^{*} $. Moreover, under suitable assumptions on $Ω$ and $B(Ω)$, we establish a characterization of the composition operator $C_φ$ to be a Fredholm operator on $B(Ω)$ via the property of the holomorphic self-map $φ:Ω\toΩ$. Our new approach …
Let $A$ be the generator of a $C_0$-semigroup $T$ on a Banach space of analytic functions on the open unit disc. If $T$ consists of composition operators, then there exists a holomorphic function $G:{\mathbb D}\to{\mathbb C}$ such that $Af=Gf'$ with maximal domain. The aim of the paper is the study of the reciprocal implication.
We consider weighted banach spaces of holomorphic functions on the upper half plane that are determined by $ \|f\|=\sup_{y>0,-\infty<x<\infty}p(y)|f(x+iy)|<\infty $ for a very large class of weight functions p. We completely solve the problem whether such banach spaces are trivial or not by giving necessary and sufficient conditions stated in terms of some simple properties of the weight function. Further, we investigate the behaviour at infinity of some functions that belong to some of the banach spaces under consideration.
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a Banach algebra of bounded holomorphic functions on the open unit ball $B_X$ of a complex Banach space $X$. Considering the Gelfand transform image $\widehat{\mathcal{A}}$ of the Banach algebra $\mathcal{A}$, which is a uniform algebra on the spectrum of $\mathcal{A}$, we obtain an explicit description of the Shilov boundary for $\widehat{\mathcal{A}}$ for classical Banach spaces $X$ in the case where $\mathcal{A}$ is a certain Banach algebra, for instance, $\mathcal{A}_\infty (B_X)$, $\mathcal{A}_u (B_X)$ or $\mathcal{A}_{wu} (B_X)$. Some possible application of our resu…
We study the relations between boundaries for algebras of holomorphic functions on Banach spaces and complex convexity of their balls. In addition, we show that the Shilov boundary for algebras of holomorphic functions on an order continuous sequence space $X$ is the unit sphere $S_X$ if $X$ is locally c-convex. In particular, it is shown that the unit sphere of the Orlicz-Lorentz sequence space $λ_{ϕ, w}$ is the Shilov boundary for algebras of holomorphic functions on $λ_{ϕ, w}$ if $ϕ$ satisfies the $δ_2$-condition.
In this article, we show that the predual $\mathcal{G}_w(U)$ of the weighted space of holomorphic functions has the $\mathcal{I}$- approximation property if and only if $E$ has the $\mathcal{I}$- approximation property, where $\mathcal{I}$ is a suitably chosen operator ideal, and $\it{w}$ is a radial weight defined on a balanced open subset U of a Banach space $E$.
Let $X$ be a separable Banach space and $u{:} X\to\Bbb{R}$ locally upper bounded. We show that there are a Banach space $Z$ and a holomorphic function $h{:} X\to Z$ with $u(x)<\|h(x)\|$ for $x\in X$. As a consequence we find that the sheaf cohomology group $H^q(X,\Cal{O})$ vanishes if $X$ has the bounded approximation property (i.e., $X$ is a direct summand of a Banach space with a Schauder basis), $\Cal{O}$ is the sheaf of germs of holomorphic functions on $X$, and $q\ge1$. As another consequence we prove that if $f$ is a $C^1$-smooth $\overline\partial$-closed $(0,1)$-form on the space $X=L_…
We consider weighted algebras of holomorphic functions on a Banach space. We determine conditions on a family of weights that assure that the corresponding weighted space is an algebra or has polynomial Schauder decompositions. We study the spectra of weighted algebras and endow them with an analytic structure. We also deal with composition operators and algebra homomorphisms, in particular to investigate how their induced mappings act on the analytic structure of the spectrum. Moreover, a Banach-Stone type question is addressed.
We characterize Banach spaces with polynomial numerical index 1 when they have the Radon-Nikodým property. The holomorphic numerical index is introduced and the characterization of the Banach space with holomorphic numerical index 1 is obtained when it has the Radon-Nikodým property.
In this work we study the vector-valued Hardy spaces H p (D; F) (1 \leq p \leq \infty) and their relationship with RNP, ARNP and the UMDP properties. By following the approach of Taylor in the scalar-valued case, we prove that, when F and F have the ARNP property, then H p (D; F) and H q (D; F) are canonically topologically isomorphic (for p, q \in (1, \infty) conjugate indices) if and only if F has the UMDP.
Let $E$ and $F$ be complex Banach spaces, $U$ be an open subset of $E$ and $1\leq p\leq\infty$. We introduce and study the notion of a Cohen strongly $p$-summing holomorphic mapping from $U$ to $F$, a holomorphic version of a strongly $p$-summing linear operator. For such mappings, we establish both Pietsch domination/factorization theorems and analyse their linearizations from $\mathcal{G}^\infty(U)$ (the canonical predual of $\mathcal{H}^\infty(U)$) and their transpositions on $\mathcal{H}^\infty(U)$. Concerning the space $\mathcal{D}_p^{\mathcal{H}^\infty}(U,F)$ formed by such mappings and …
In the first part we show that a vector-valued almost separably valued function $f$ is holomorphic (harmonic) if and only if it is dominated by an $L^1_\mathrm{loc}$ function and there exists a separating set $W\subset X'$ such that $\langle f,x'\rangle$ is holomorphic (harmonic) for all $x'\in W$. This improves a known result which requires $f$ to be locally bounded. In the second part we consider classical results in the $L^p$ theory for elliptic differential operators of second order. In the vector-valued setting these results are shown to be equivalent to the UMD property.
We study some fundamental properties of semicocycles over semigroups of self-mappings of a domain in a Banach space. We prove that any semicocycle over a jointly continuous semigroup is itself jointly continuous. For semicocycles over semigroups which have generator, we establish a sufficient condition for differentiablity with respect to the time variable, and hence for the semicocycle to satisfy a linear evolution problem, giving rise to the notion of `generator' of a semicocycle. Bounds on the growth of a semicocycle with respect to the time variable are given in terms of this generator. Sp…
We show that some previous results concerning the boundedness of differentiation and integration operators on weighted spaces given by radial weights in the unit disk or the complex plane might fail without some natural additional conditions. In view of this we develop a new elementary approach which is essentially different from the previous one and can be applied for weights and domains of general types. We also establish a new characterization of some popular classes of radial weights.
We show that if $X$ is a Banach space with a Schauder basis, $Ω\subset X$ is a pseudoconvex open subset, and $u:\,Ω\to(-\infty,\infty)$ is a locally bounded function, then there are a Banach space $Z$ and a holomorphic function $h:\,Ω\to Z$ with $u(x)<\|h(x)\|$ for all $x\inΩ$.
Let $ E $ be a space of holomorphic functions on the unit ball $ B_X $ of a Banach space $ X.$ In this work, we introduce a Banach structure associated to $ E $ on the linear space $ WE(Y) $ containing $ Y$-valued holomorphic functions on $ B_X $ such that $ w \circ f \in E $ for every $ w \in W, $ a separating subspace of the dual $ Y' $ of a Banach $ Y. $ We establish the relation between the boundedness, the (weak) compactness of the weighted composition operators $ W_{ψ,φ}: f\mapsto ψ\cdot(f \circ φ) $ on $ E $ and $ \widetilde{W}_{ψ,φ}: g\mapsto ψ\cdot(g \circ φ) $ on $ WE(Y)$ via some ch…
Related to the concept of $p$-compact operator with $p\in [1,\infty]$ introduced by Sinha and Karn, this paper deals with the space $\mathcal{H}^\infty_{\mathcal{K}_p}(U,F)$ of all Banach-valued holomorphic mappings on an open subset $U$ of a complex Banach space $E$ whose ranges are relatively $p$-compact subsets of $F$. We characterize such holomorphic mappings as those whose Mujica's linearisations on the canonical predual of $\mathcal{H}^\infty(U)$ are $p$-compact operators. This fact allows us to make a complete study of them. We show that $\mathcal{H}^\infty_{\mathcal{K}_p}$ is a surject…
We introduce the notion of numerical (strong) peak function and investigate the denseness of the norm and numerical peak functions on complex Banach spaces. Let $A_b(B_X:X)$ be the Banach space of all bounded continuous functions $f$ on the unit ball $B_X$ of a Banach space $X$ and their restrictions $f|_{B_X^\circ}$ to the open unit ball are holomorphic. In finite dimensional spaces, we show that the intersection of the set of all norm peak functions and the set of all numerical peak functions is a dense $G_δ$ subset of $A_b(B_X:X)$. We also prove that if $X$ is a smooth Banach space with the…
R.M. Aron et al. proved that the Cluster Value Theorem in the infinite dimensional Banach space setting holds for the Banach algebra $\mathcal{H}^\infty (B_{c_0})$. On the other hand, B.J. Cole and T.W. Gamelin showed that $\mathcal{H}^\infty (\ell_2 \cap B_{c_0})$ is isometrically isomorphic to $\mathcal{H}^\infty (B_{c_0})$ in the sense of an algebra. Motivated by this work, we are interested in a class of open subsets $U$ of a Banach space $X$ for which $\mathcal{H}^\infty (U)$ is isometrically isomorphic to $\mathcal{H}^\infty (B_{c_0})$. We prove that there exist polydisk type domains $U$…
We study the Banach algebras of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk whose boundary values, having, in a sense, the weakest possible discontinuities, belong to the algebra of semi-almost periodic functions on the unit circle. The latter algebra contains as a special case an algebra introduced by Sarason in connection with some problems in the theory of Toeplitz operators.
We show that several spaces of holomorphic functions on a Riemann domain over a Banach space, including the nuclear and Hilbert-Schmidt bounded type, are locally $m$-convex Fréchet algebras. We prove that the spectrum of these algebras has a natural analytic structure, which we use to characterize the envelope of holomorphy. We also show a Cartan-Thullen type theorem.
Chapter 1 deals with the problem of the existence of an upper/lower envelope from a convex cone or, more generally, a convex set for functions on the projective limit of vector lattices with values in the completion of the Kantorovich space or on the extended real line. Vector, ordinal and topological dual interpretations of the existence conditions of such envelope and the method of its construction are given. Chapter 2 presents applications to the existence of a nontrivial (pluri)subharmonic and/or (pluri) harmonic minorant for functions in domains from finite-dimensional real or complex spa…
Let D be a relatively compact strongly pseudoconvex domain in a Stein manifold, and let Y be a complex manifold. We prove that the set A(D,Y), consisting of all continuous maps from the closure of D to Y which are holomorphic in D, is a complex Banach manifold. When D is the unit disc in C (or any other topologically trivial strongly pseudoconvex domain in a Stein manifold), A(D,Y) is locally modeled on the Banach space A(D,C^n)=A(D)^n with n=dim Y. Analogous results hold for maps which are holomorphic in D and of class C^r up to the boundary for any positive integer r. We also establish the O…
We prove that weakly unconditionally Cauchy (w.u.C.) series and unconditionally converging (u.c.) series are preserved under the action of polynomials or holomorphic functions on Banach spaces, with natural restrictions in the latter case. Thus it is natural to introduce the unconditionally converging polynomials, defined as polynomials taking w.u.C. series into u.c.\ series, and analogously, the unconditionally converging holomorphic functions. We show that most of the classes of polynomials which have been considered in the literature consist of unconditionally converging polynomials. Then w…
We study a "$p$-powered" version $K_n^p(F(R))$ of the well-known Bohr radius problem for the family $F(R)$ of holomorphic functions $f: R\to X$ satisfying $\|f\|<\infty$, where $\|.\|$ is a norm in the function space $F(R)$, $R\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ is a complete Reinhardt domain and $X$ is a complex Banach space. For all $p>0$, we describe in full details the asymptotic behaviour of $K_n^p(F(R))$, where $F(R)$ is (a) the Hardy space of $X$-valued holomorphic functions defined in the open unit polydisk $\mathbb{D}^n$, and (b) the space of bounded $X$-valued holomorphic or complex-valued plurihar…
For a complex Banach space $X$ with open unit ball $B_X,$ consider the Banach algebras $\mathcal H^\infty(B_X)$ of bounded scalar-valued holomorphic functions and the subalgebra $\mathcal A_u(B_X)$ of uniformly continuous functions on $B_X.$ Denoting either algebra by $\mathcal A,$ we study the Gleason parts of the set of scalar-valued homomorphisms $\mathcal M(\mathcal A)$ on $\mathcal A.$ Following remarks on the general situation, we focus on the case $X = c_0.$
In this paper we consider generalized square function norms of holomorphic functions with values in a Banach space. One of the main results is a characterization of embeddings of the form \[L^p(X)\subseteq γ(X) \subseteq L^q(X),\] in terms of the type $p$ and cotype $q$ for the Banach space $X$. As an application we prove $L^p$-estimates for vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Stein $g$-functions and derive an embedding result for real and complex interpolation spaces under type and cotype conditions.
We study the cluster value problem for certain Banach algebras of holomorphic functions defined on the unit ball of a complex Banach space X. The main results are for spaces of the form X = C(K).
We study the differential equation $\frac{\partial G}{\partial\bar z}=g$ with an unbounded Banach-valued Bochner measurable function $g$ on the open unit disk $\mathbb D\subset\mathbb C$. We prove that under some conditions on the growth and essential support of $g$ such equation has a bounded solution given by a continuous linear operator. The obtained results are applicable to the Banach-valued corona problem for the algebra of bounded holomorphic functions on $\mathbb D$ with values in a complex commutative unital Banach algebra.
We characterize the holomorphic mappings $f$ between complex Banach spaces that may be written in the form $f=T\circ g$, where $g$ is another holomorphic mapping and $T$ belongs to a closed surjective operator ideal.
The relation $xy-yx=h(y)$, where $h$ is a holomorphic function, occurs naturally in the definitions of some quantum groups. To attach a rigorous meaning to the right-hand side of this equality, we assume that $x$ and $y$ are elements of a Banach algebra (or of an Arens--Michael algebra). We prove that the universal algebra generated by a commutation relation of this kind can be represented explicitly as an analytic Ore extension. An analysis of the structure of the algebra shows that the set of holomorphic functions of $y$ degenerates, but at each zero of $h$, some local algebra of power serie…
Let D be a bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain in a Stein manifold S and let Y be a complex manifold. We prove that the graph of any continuous map from the closure of D to Y which is holomorphic in D admits a basis of open Stein neighborhoods in S x Y. Using this we show that many classical spaces of maps from the closure of D to Y which are holomorphic in D are infinite dimensional complex manifolds which are modeled on locally convex topological vector spaces (Banach, Hilbert or Frechet).
Under certain hypotheses on the Banach space $X$, we prove that the set of analytic functions in $\mathcal{A}_u(X)$ (the algebra of all holomorphic and uniformly continuous functions in the ball of $X$) whose Aron-Berner extensions attain their norms, is dense in $\mathcal{A}_u(X)$. The result holds also for functions with values in a dual space or in a Banach space with the so-called property $(β)$. For this, we establish first a Lindenstrauss type theorem for continuous polynomials. We also present some counterexamples for the Bishop-Phelps theorem in the analytic and polynomial cases where …
We systematically derive general properties of continuous and holomorphic functions with values in closed operators, allowing in particular for operators with empty resolvent set. We provide criteria for a given operator-valued function to be continuous or holomorphic. This includes sufficient conditions for the sum and product of operator-valued holomorphic functions to be holomorphic. Using graphs of operators, operator-valued functions are identified with functions with values in subspaces of a Banach space. A special role is thus played by projections onto closed subspaces of a Banach spac…
Interpolation Theory gives techniques for constructing spaces from two initial Banach spaces. We provide several conditions under which the restriction of a holomorphic map $f:X_0+X_1 \rightarrow Y_0+Y_1$ to the interpolated spaces (using some specific interpolation methods), where $f_{|X_0}:X_0 \rightarrow Y_0$ is compact, is also compact and holomorphic.
We study the extension of holomorphic functions of bounded type defined on an open subset of a Banach space, to larger domains. For this, we first characterize the envelope of holomorphy of a Riemann domain over a Banach space, with respect to the algebra of bounded type holomorphic functions, in terms of the spectrum of the algebra. We then give a simple description of the envelopes of balanced open sets and relate the concepts of domain of holomorphy and polynomial convexity. We show that for bounded balanced sets, extensions to the envelope are always of bounded type, and that this does not…
