Models of holomorphic functions on the symmetrized skew bidisc

Connor Evans, Zinaida A. Lykova, N. J. Young

The purpose of this paper is to develop the theory of holomorphic functions with modulus bounded by on the symmetrized skew bidisc \[ \mathbb{G}_{r} \stackrel{\rm def}{=} \Big\…

Boundary behavior of functions in the Schur-Agler class of the polydisc

Jim Agler, Connor Evans, Zinaida Lykova +1

We describe a generalization of the notion of a Hilbert space model of a function in the Schur-Agler class of the polydisc. This generalization is well adapted to the investiga…

Intrinsic Directions, Orthogonality and Distinguished Geodesics in the Symmetrized Bidisc

Jim Agler, Zinaida Lykova, N. J. Young

The symmetrized bidisc \[ G \stackrel{\rm{def}}{=}\{(z+w,zw):|z|<1,\ |w|<1\}, \] under the Carathéodory metric, is a complex Finsler space of cohomogeneity in which the geodesi…

Exterior products of operators and superoptimal analytic approximation

Dimitrios Chiotis, Zinaida Lykova, Nicholas Young

We give a new algorithm for the construction of the unique superoptimal analytic approximant of a given continuous matrix-valued function on the unit circle, making use of exterior…

Non-commutative manifolds, the free square root and symmetric functions in two non-commuting variables

Jim Agler, John E. McCarthy, N. J. Young

The richly developed theory of complex manifolds plays important roles in our understanding of holomorphic functions in several complex variables. It is natural to consider manifol…

Extremal holomorphic maps and the symmetrised bidisc

Jim Agler, Zinaida A. Lykova, N. J. Young

We introduce the class of -extremal holomorphic maps, a class that generalises both finite Blaschke products and complex geodesics, and apply the notion to the finite interpolat…

Boundary behavior of analytic functions of two variables via generalized models

J. Agler, R. Tully-Doyle, N. J. Young

We describe a generalization of the notion of a Hilbert space model of a function in the Schur class of the bidisc. This generalization is well adapted to the investigation of boun…

A Caratheodory theorem for the bidisk via Hilbert space methods

Jim Agler, John E. McCarthy, Nicholas J. Young

If $\ph$ is an analytic function bounded by 1 on the bidisk $\D^2$ and $τ\in\tb$ is a point at which $\ph$ has an angular gradient $\nabla\ph(τ)$ then $\nabla\ph(\la) \to \nabla\ph…
