In one complex variable it is well known that if we consider the family of all holomorphic functions on the unit disc that fix the origin and with first derivative equal to 1 at the origin, then there exists a constant $\rho$, independent…

We return to Takagi's variational principle, generalized after forty years to two complex variables by Pfister. Both isolating some extremal rational functions associated to a bounded holomorphic function in the unit disk, respectively the…

High-order derivatives of analytic functions are expressible as Cauchy integrals over circular contours, which can very effectively be approximated, e.g., by trapezoidal sums. Whereas analytically each radius r up to the radius of…

We discuss various theorems about bounded analytic functions on the bidisk that were proved using operator theory.

Using results from theory of operators on a Hilbert space, we prove approximation results for matrix-valued holomorphic functions on the unit disc and the unit bidisc. The essential tools are the theory of unitary dilation of a contraction…

Consider a normal function $f$ on the ordinals (i. e. a function $f$ that is strictly increasing and continuous at limit stages). By enumerating the fixed points of $f$ we obtain a faster normal function $f'$, called the derivative of $f$.…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic self-map of the unit disc. We show that if $\log (1-\lvert f(z) \rvert)$ is integrable on a sub-arc of the unit circle, $I$, then the set of points where the function f has finite Carath\'eodory angular derivative…

In this paper we study the behaviour of modules over finite dimensional algebras whose endomorphism algebra is a division ring. We show that there are finitely many such modules in the module category of an algebra if and only if the length…

Recall the Fatou theorem for the unit disc in $\CC$. Consider a domain in $\CC^2$ of finite type. In this paper we will show that the approach regions studied by Nagel, Stein, Wainger and Neff are the best possible ones for the boundary…

Given a bounded symmetric domain $D$ in $\mathbb C^n$, we consider the Clark measures $\mu_\alpha$, $\alpha\in \mathbb T$, associated with a rational inner function $\varphi$ from $D$ into the unit disc in $\mathbb C$. We show that…

We prove a noncommutative analogue of the fact that every symmetric analytic function of $(z,w)$ in the bidisc $\D^2$ can be expressed as an analytic function of the variables $z+w$ and $zw$. We construct an analytic nc-map $S$ from the…

We consider the behaviour of holomorphic functions on a bounded open subset of the plane, satisfying a Lipschitz condition with exponent $\alpha$, with $0<\alpha<1$, in the vicinity of an exceptional boundary point where all such functions…

We introduce a notion of smooth fields of operators following the notion of smooth fields of Hilbert spaces recently defined by L. Lempert and R. Sz\H{o}oke arXiv:1004.4863(2) . Formally, if $\nabla$ is the connection of a smooth field of…

We study the asymptotic behavior of Pick functions, analytic functions which take the upper half plane to itself. We show that if a two variable Pick function $f$ has real residues to order $2N-1$ at infinity and the imaginary part of the…

We discuss an alternative approach to Fr\'echet derivatives on Banach spaces inspired by a characterisation of derivatives due to Carath\'eodory. The approach allows us to reduce many questions of differentiability to a question of…

Let $\mathcal{H}(b)$ be the de Branges-Rovnyak space associated to a non-extreme point $b$ of the unit ball of $H^\infty$, and let $\phi=b/a$, where $a$ is the Pythagorean mate of $b$. It is known that, if $f$ is a function holomorphic on a…
