Abstract

Loewner Theory is a deep technique in Complex Analysis affording a basis for many further important developments such as the proof of famous Bieberbach's conjecture and well-celebrated Schramm's Stochastic Loewner Evolution (SLE). It provides analytic description of expanding domains dynamics in the plane. Two cases have been developed in the classical theory, namely the {\it radial} and the {\it chordal} Loewner evolutions, referring to the associated families of holomorphic self-mappings being normalized at an internal or boundary point of the reference domain, respectively. Recently there has been introduced a new approach [arXiv:0807.1594v1, arXiv:0807.1715v1, arXiv:0902.3116v1] bringing together, and containing as quite special cases, radial and chordal variants of Loewner Theory. In the framework of this approach we address the question what kind of systems of simply connected domains can be described by means of Loewner chains of chordal type. As an answer to this question we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simply connected domains to be the range of a generalized Loewner chain of chordal type. We also provide an easy-to-check geometric sufficient condition for that. In addition, we obtain analogous results for the less general case of chordal Loewner evolution considered by I.A.Aleksandrov, S.T.Aleksandrov and V.V.Sobolev, 1983; V.V.Goryainov and I.Ba, 1992; R.O.Bauer, 2005 [arXiv:math/0306130v1].

Explicit Estimates for the Bergman Kernel Form

Let $(L,e^{-ϕ})$ be a positive Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a compact Riemann surface $X$, and let $ω=i\partial\overline{\partial}ϕ$. We obtain explicit pointwise estimates for the Bergman form of the tensor power $mL$. If $\mathrm{Ric}\,ω\leqω$ and the shortest nonconstant closed geodesic has length at least $2π$, then \[ K_{mϕ}\geq \frac{2m-1}{4π}\,ω, \] with sharpness holding for $(\mathbb P^1,\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^1}(2))$. We also obtain a local version, depending on an upper curvature bound and the injectivity radius, which recovers the first two terms of the Bergman expansion when the curvature is constant. We also find a higher dimensional version. Under the two-sided bound $-ω\leq\mathrm{Ric}\,ω\leqω$ and the same closed-geodesic hypothesis, we also prove \[ K_{mϕ}\leq \frac{mω}{2π} \left(1+\frac{3}{2m}\right). \] The lower estimates use the deformation to the tangent space version of the Ohsawa--Takegoshi theorem established by He, Wang, and the author, whereas the upper bound via Błocki--Zwonek and isoperimetric inequalities.

The Complete Crouzeix Conjecture in Dimension Three and the Clouâtre-Ostermann-Ransford conjecture

We settle the complete Crouzeix conjecture for matrices of order at most three and prove the Q-algebra case of the completely bounded Clouâtre--Ostermann--Ransford (COR) conjecture for homomorphisms into matrices of order at most three, via sharp abstract column and row estimates. Our approach also establishes the scalar COR conjecture in a stronger form, for homomorphisms with commutative range on Banach algebras with unity satisfying von Neumann's inequality. Under contractivity of the symmetrized map, this result holds on arbitrary Hilbert spaces without initial boundedness assumptions on the homomorphism or the antilinear map. For arbitrary operator algebras, we disprove the complete COR conjecture by an exact three-dimensional example with target matrix order two. We also prove the sharp complete bound for every matrix subalgebra containing the diagonal, in arbitrary matrix order and on arbitrary target Hilbert spaces. We also obtain column and row square-function inequalities with sharp norm bounds, strict scalar bounds for operators similar to normal operators, sharp complete spectral constants for scaled $q$-numerical ranges in dimensions two and three, and rigidity, stability, and representing-measure results.

Solving non-oscillatory solutions of the Hill equation via the Tumura--Clunie method

We consider the Hill equation $f''-(\sum_{i=-\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{k}}b_{i}e^{iz})f=0$ ($†$), where $\mathbf{k}\geq 1$ and $\mathbf{l}\geq 0$ are integers and $b_{-\mathbf{l}}$, $\cdots$, $b_{\mathbf{k}}$ are constants such that $b_{\mathbf{k}}\not=0$. We point out that there is a full correspondence between the class of non-oscillatory solutions such that $λ(f)<\infty$ of equation ($†$) and the class of Liouvillian solutions of equation $x^2u''-(\sum_{i=-\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{k}}b_{i}x^{i})u=0$ ($‡$). Then this paper has twofold purposes. First, parallel to Kovacic's algorithms to find the Liouvillian solutions of equation ($‡$), we develop the Tumura--Clunie method to find the non-oscillatory solutions of a higher order version of the Hill equation. Second, for the particular Hill equation $f''-(b_{\mathbf{k}}e^{\mathbf{k}z}+b_{\mathbf{s}}e^{\mathbf{s}z}+b_0)f=0$, where $\mathbf{k}>\mathbf{s}\geq 1$ are integers and $b_{\mathbf{k}}b_{\mathbf{s}}\not=0$, we use the Tumura--Clunie method to determine the non-oscillatory solution $f$ with an additional zero property.
