Abstract

In this paper, we derive a formula for the pluricomplex Green function of the bidisk with two poles of equal weights. In 2017, Kosiński, Thomas, and Zwonek proved the Lempert function and the pluricomplex Green function are equal on the bidisk, and their description of Lempert function was pivotal in computing the formula for the pluricomplex Green function. We divide the bidisk into two open regions, where the formula is found explicitly on the first region, and the other region is the union of a family of hypersurfaces. On each hypersurface, the formula is explicit up to a unimodular constant that is the root of a sixth degree polynomial. This derived formula for the bidisk leads to an explicit formula for the Carathéodory metric on the symmetrized bidisk up to a fourth degree polynomial. In 2004, Agler and Young found a formula for Carathéodory metric for the symmetrized bidisk that involves a supremum over the unimodular constants. The formula derived in this paper matches Agler and Young's formula, but the unimodular constant is determined by a 4th degree polynomial instead of the before mentioned supremum.

Pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norm estimates for harmonic functions with fixed analytic part

In the present article, we discuss about the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for locally univalent harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$. First, we prove a general result for the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian norm which rectify few earlier flawed results. We also consider a new class $\mathcal{F}_0$ consisting of all harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that ${\rm Re\,}\left(1+z\frac{h''(z)}{h'(z)}\right)>0$ for $z\in\mathbb{D}$ with dilatation $ω_f(z)\in Aut(\mathbb{D})$ and obtain best possible estimates of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for functions in the class $\mathcal{F}_0$. Moreover, we obtain the distortion and coefficient estimates of the co-analytic function $g$ when $f=h+\overline{g}\in\mathcal{F}_0$.

The Reciprocal Problem on Weighted Bergman Spaces

The reciprocal problem on weighted Bergman spaces has been posed as an open problem. In this paper, we establish several sufficient conditions for the reciprocal property and clarify the parameter ranges in which the available methods are applicable. In particular, we prove that functions in $A_α^p\cap H^\infty$ enjoy the reciprocal property in the parameter ranges where the required analytic Besov composition theorem is available. In addition, using Hardy boundary estimates, we solve the reciprocal problem in the Drury--Arveson space $H_d^2$ when the dimension is $d=3$, and give an equivalent condition for the reciprocal problem in the four-dimensional Drury--Arveson space.

Möbius Maps, Reflections and Lipschitz Constants

We introduce the chordal isometric circle of a Möbius map, and use this to give a factorization of any Möbius map as the composition of a chordal isometry and either a reflection, or a rotary reflection, across a circle. We then use this to find the chordal, and spherical, Lipschitz constants of a Möbius map, and compare this with related results in the literature.
