A representation for the reproducing kernel of a weighted Bergman space

Abstract

For a weight function in the unit disk which is the modulus of a finite product of powers of Blaschke factors, we give a canonical representation for the reproducing kernel of the corresponding weighted Bergman space in terms of the values of the kernel and its derivatives at the origin. This yields a formula for the contractive zero divisor of a Bergman space corresponding to a finite zero set.
