Abstract

Let ff and gg be analytic functions on the open unit disc D\mathbb D such that f=g|f|=|g| on a set AA. We give an alternative proof of the result of Perez that there exists cc in the unit circle T\mathbb T such that f=cgf=cg when AA is the union of two lines in D\mathbb D intersecting at an angle that is an irrational multiple of π\pi, and from this deduce a sequential generalization of the result. Similarly, the same conclusion is valid when ff and gg are in the Nevanlinna class and AA is the union of the unit circle and an interior circle, tangential or not. We also provide sequential versions of this result and analyse the case A=rTA=r\mathbb T. Finally, we examine the most general situation when there is equality on two distinct circles in the disc, providing a result or counterexample for each possible configuration.
