Corona theorem for the quaternionic Hardy space

Abstract

The finite-generator corona theorem for bounded slice regular functions on the quaternionic unit ball was recently established by Colombo, Pozzi, Sabadini, and Wick. In the present paper, we extend the quaternionic \(H^\infty\)-corona theorem to countably many generators and obtain quantitative estimates that are independent of the cardinality of the generating family. We also establish the corresponding \(H^p\)-corona theorem for the full range \(1\leq p<\infty\), with quantitative norm estimates for both finite and countable families of generators. In the Hilbert-space setting, we prove a quaternionic Leech factorization theorem for Hardy-space multipliers and derive, as a consequence, a Toeplitz corona characterization. Our approach is based on a fixed-slice \(2\times2\) complex matrix realization of the slice regular product, together with operator-valued corona and factorization techniques.
