Abstract

In 1958, Helson and Lowdenslager extended the theory of analytic functions to a general class of groups with ordered duals. In this context, analytic functions on such a group GG are defined as the integrable functions whose Fourier coefficients lie in the positive semigroup of the dual of GG. In this paper, we found some applications of their theory to infinite-dimensional complex analysis. Specifically, we considered a special order on Z\mathbb{Z}^\infty and corresponding analytic continuous functions on Tω\mathbb{T}^\omega, which serves as the counterpart of the disk algebra in infinitely many variables setting. By characterizing its maximal ideals, we have generalized the following theorem to the infinite-dimensional case: For a positive function ww that is integrable and log-integrable on Td\mathbb{T}^d, there exists an outer function gg such that w=g2w=|g|^2 if and only if the support of logw^\hat{\log w} is a subset of Nd(N)d\mathbb{N}^d\cap (-\mathbb{N})^d. Furthermore, we have found the counterpart of the above function algebra in the closed right half-plane, and the representing measures of each point in the right half-plane for this algebra. As an application of the order, we provided a new proof of the infinite-dimensional Szeg\"{o}'s theorem.
