A finite Blaschke product is a product of finitely many automorphisms of the unit disk. This brief survey covers some of the main topics in the area, including characterizations of finite Blaschke products, approximation theorems,…

These notes answer the question "When can a finite Blaschke product $B$ be written as a composition of two finite Blaschke products $B_1$ and $B_2$, that is, $B=B_1\circ B_2$, in a non-trivial way, that is, where the order of each is…

We study the decomposability of a finite Blaschke product $B$ of degree $2^n$ into $n$ degree-$2$ Blaschke products, examining the connections between Blaschke products, the elliptical range theorem, Poncelet theorem, and the monodromy…

We study the convergence of a sequence of finite Blaschke products of a fix order toward a rotation. This would enable us to get a better picture of a characterization theorem for finite Blaschke products.

We present a numerical model for determining a finite Blaschke product of degree $n+1$ having $n$ preassigned distinct critical points $z_1,\dots,z_n$ in the complex (open) unit disk $\mathbb{D}$. The Blaschke product is uniquely determined…

We prove that the composition of two indestructible Blaschke products is again an indestructible Blaschke product. We also show that if an indestructible Blaschke product is the composition of two bounded analytic functions, then both…

We give a slight generalization of the characterization of finite Blaschke products given in a previous paper. The characterization uses the boundary behaviour of a weighted local hyperbolic distortion of an analytic self-map of the unit…

We consider the classical problem of maximizing the derivative at a fixed point over the set of all bounded analytic functions in the unit disk with prescribed critical points. We show that the extremal function is essentially unique and…

We establish a sharp upper bound for the absolute value of the derivative of the finite Blaschke product, provided that the critical values of this product lie in a given disk.

A finite Blaschke product, restricted to the unit circle, is a smooth covering map. The maximum and minimum values of the derivative of this map reflect the geometry of the Blaschke product. We identify two classes of extremal Blaschke…

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be the unit disk in the complex plane. Among other results, we prove the following curious result for a finite Blaschke product: $$B(z)=e ^{is}\prod_{k=1}^d \frac{z-a_k}{1-z \overline{a_k}}.$$ The Lebesgue measure of the…

Given $n$ distinct points $t_1,\ldots,t_n$ on the unit circle $\T$ and equally many target values $\f_1,\ldots,\f_n\in\T$, we describe all Blaschke products $f$ of degree at most $n-1$ such that $f(t_i)=\f_i$ for $i=1,\ldots,n$. We also…

A Blaschke product has no radial limits on a subset $E$ of the unit circle $T$ but has unrestricted limit at each point of $T \setminus E$ if and only if $E$ is a closed set of measure zero.

The determination of a finite Blaschke product from its critical points is a well-known problem with interrelations to other topics. Though existence and uniqueness of solutions are established for long, we present several new aspects which…

We prove that, for any finite Blaschke product $w=B(z)$ in the unit disk, the corresponding Riemann surface over the $w$--plane contains a one-sheeted disk of the radius $0.5$. Moreover, it contains a unit one-sheeted disk with a radial…

It is well known that a ramified holomorphic covering of a closed unitary disc by another such a disc is given by a finite Blaschke product. The inverse is also true. In this note we give an explicit description of holomorphic ramified…

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…

Given a finite set $W$ in $\bar{k}^n$ where $\bar{k}$ is the algebraic closure of a field $k$ one would like to determine if $W$ can be decomposed as $\prod_{i=1}^n V_i$ where $V_i \subset \bar{k}$ under a linear transformation, that is,…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of an infinite product of rational inner functions on the polydisk, and explore generalization to the polydisk of Malmquist- Takenaka bases and various versions of unwinding

Let $f$ be an analytic function mapping the unit disk $\D$ to itself. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the local behavior of $f$ near a finite set of boundary points that requires $f$ to be a finite Blaschke product.
