A rigidity theorem for holomorphic generators on the Hilbert ball

Abstract

We present a rigidity property of holomorphic generators on the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ of a Hilbert space $H$. Namely, if $f\in\Hol (\mathbb{B},H)$ is the generator of a one-parameter continuous semigroup ${F_t}_{t\ge 0}$ on $\mathbb{B}$ such that for some boundary point $\tau \in \partial \mathbb{B}$, the admissible limit $K$-$\underset{z\to \tau }{\lim }\frac{f(x)}{\Vert x-\tau {\Vert }^3}=0$, then $f$ vanishes identically on $\mathbb{B}$.
