Abstract

In this paper we examine functions in the disc algebra A(D)\mathcal{A}(D) and the polydisc algebra A(DI)\mathcal{A}(D^I), where II is a finite or countably infinite set. We prove that, generically, for every fA(D)f \in \mathcal{A}(D) the continuous periodic functions u=RefTu=Ref|_{\mathbb{T}} and u~=ImfT\tilde{u} = Imf|_{\mathbb{T}} are nowhere differentiable on the unit circle T\mathbb{T}. Afterwards, we generalize this result by proving that, generically, for every fA(DI)f \in \mathcal{A}(D^I), where II is as above, the continuous periodic functions u=RefTIu=Ref|_{\mathbb{T}^I} and u~=ImfTI\tilde{u} = Imf|_{\mathbb{T}^I} have no directional derivatives at any point of TI\mathbb{T}^I and every direction vRIv \in \mathbb{R}^I with v=1\|v\|_{\infty}=1.
