The tetrablock is the set $$ \mathcal{E}=\{x \in \mathbb{C}^3: \quad 1-x_1z-x_2w+x_3z w \neq 0 \quad whenever \quad |z|\leq 1, |w|\leq 1\}. $$ The closure of $\mathcal{E}$ is denoted by $\overline{\mathcal{E}}$. A tetra-inner function is an…
Rational inner functions are a generalization of finite Blaschke products to several variables. In this article we survey a variety of results about rational inner functions related to interpolation, sums of squares formulas, and boundary…
We introduce the class of $n$-extremal holomorphic maps, a class that generalises both finite Blaschke products and complex geodesics, and apply the notion to the finite interpolation problem for analytic functions from the open unit disc…
The set \[ \Gamma {\stackrel{\rm def}{=}} \{(z+w,zw):|z|\leq 1,|w|\leq 1\} \subset {\mathbb{C}}^2 \] has intriguing complex-geometric properties; it has a 3-parameter group of automorphisms, its distinguished boundary is a ruled surface…
By classical results of Herglotz and F. Riesz, any bounded analytic function in the complex unit disk has a unique inner-outer factorization. Here, a bounded analytic function is called \emph{inner} or \emph{outer} if multiplication by this…
Let $\Omega$ and $\Omega_{\fin}$ be the sets of all interpolating Blaschke products of type $G$ and of finite type $G$, respectively. Let $E$ and $E_{\fin}$ be the Douglas algebras generated by $H^\infty$ together with the complex…
Consider the space $\mathcal{F}$ of all inner functions on the unit open disk under the uniform topology, which is a metric topology induced by the $H^{\infty}$-norm. In the present paper, a class of Blaschke products, denoted by…
A rational function belongs to the Hardy space, $H^2$, of square-summable power series if and only if it is bounded in the complex unit disk. Any such rational function is necessarily analytic in a disk of radius greater than one. The…
We give a generalization of the notion of finite Blaschke products from the perspective of generalized inner functions in various reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Further, we study precisely how these functions relate to the so-called…
This paper complements the work done on simultaneous approximation results in classical Banach spaces, by focusing on approximation by finite Blaschke products. We prove the existence of a finite Blaschke product that approximates a…
We study the closure in the Hardy space or the disk algebra of algebras generated by two bounded functions, of which one is a finite Blaschke product. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for density or finite codimension of such…
Inner functions play a central role in function theory and operator theory on the Hardy space over the unit disk. Motivated by recent works of C. B\'en\'eteau et al. and of D. Seco, we discuss inner functions on more general weighted Hardy…
Consider the family of locally univalent analytic functions $h$ in the unit disk $|z|<1$ with the normalization $h(0)=0$, $h'(0)=1$ and satisfying the condition $${\real} \left( \frac{z h''(z)}{\alpha h'(z)}\right) <\frac{1}{2} ~\mbox{ for…
For any finite Blaschke product $B$, there is an injective analytic map $\varphi:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{C}$ and a polynomial $p$ of the same degree as $B$ such that $B=p\circ\varphi$ on $\mathbb{D}$. Several proofs of this result have been…
The end compactification |\Gamma| of the locally finite graph \Gamma is the union of the graph and its ends, endowed with a suitable topology. We show that \pi_1(|\Gamma|) embeds into a nonstandard free group with hyperfinitely many…
We consider the interpretation and the numerical construction of the inverse branches of $n$ factor Blaschke-products on the disk and show that these provide a generalization of the $n$-th root function. The inverse branches can be defined…
Given an inner function $\theta$ on the unit disk, let $K^p_\theta:=H^p\cap\theta\bar z\bar{H^p}$ be the associated star-invariant subspace of the Hardy space $H^p$. Also, we put $K_{*\theta}:=K^2_\theta\cap{\rm BMO}$. Assuming that…
Every function in the Dirichlet space on the unit disc has an inner/outer factorization. We study which inner functions occur in this way. For Blaschke products, this is the well known question of which subsets of the disc are zero sets for…
We characterize the connected components of the subset $\cni$ of $H^\infty$ formed by the products $bh$, where $b$ is Carleson-Newman Blaschke product and $h\in H^\infty$ is an invertible function. We use this result to show that, except…
In this paper we show that every inner divisor of the operator-valued coordinate function, $zI_E$, is a Blaschke-Potapov factor. We also introduce a notion of operator-valued "rational" function and then show that $\Delta$ is two-sided…
