We present a new elementary proof of a theorem due to Harald Bohr, which states that an unbounded, analytic, and almost periodic function in a half-plane can be written as the sum of two analytic functions: the first is unbounded and periodic, while the second is bounded and almost periodic. The proof is based on a well-known arithmetical property of translation numbers of almost periodic functions.
We extend a classical theorem of Carlson on moments of Dirichlet series from $p=2$ to $1 \leq p < \infty$. When combined with the ergodic theorem for the Kronecker flow, a coherent approach to almost sure properties of vertical limit functions in $H^p$ spaces of Dirichlet series is obtained. This allows us to establish an almost sure analytic continuation of vertical limit functions to the right half-plane that can be used to compute the $H^p$ norm and to prove a version of Fatou's theorem.
In the present note, we give a short proof of Brennan's conjecture in the special case of continuous semigroups of holomorphic functions. We apply classical techniques of complex analysis in conjunction with recent results on Békollé-Bonami weights and spectra of integration operators.
We employ almost periodicity to establish analogues of the Hardy--Stein identity and the Littlewood--Paley formula for Hardy spaces of Dirichlet series. A construction of Saksman and Seip shows that the limits in this Littlewood--Paley formula cannot be interchanged. We apply this construction to show that the limits in the definition of the mean counting function for Dirichlet series cannot be interchanged. These are essentially statements about the two different kinds of boundary values that we associate with Dirichlet series that converge to a bounded analytic function in a half-plane. The treatment of the mean counting function also involves an investigation of the zero sets and Blaschke products of such Dirichlet series.
In the present work, we establish sufficient conditions for a Dirichlet series induced by general frequencies to be universal with respect to vertical translations. Our results can be applied to known universal objects such as Hurwitz zeta functions and also can provide new examples of universal Dirichlet series including the alternating prime zeta function $\sum_{n\geq1}(-1)^np_n^{-s}$.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a composition operator with Dirichlet series symbol to belong to the Schatten classes $S_p$ of the Hardy space $\mathcal{H}^2$ of Dirichlet series. For $p\geq 2$, these conditions lead to a characterization for the subclass of symbols with bounded imaginary parts. Finally, we establish a comparison-type principle for composition operators. Applying our techniques in conjunction with classical geometric function theory methods, we prove the analogue of the polygonal compactness theorem for $\mathcal{H}^2$ and we give examples of bounded composition operators with Dirichlet series symbols on $\mathcal{H}^p,\,p>0$.
Given a sequence of frequencies $\{λ_n\}_{n\geq1}$, a corresponding generalized Dirichlet series is of the form $f(s)=\sum_{n\geq 1}a_ne^{-λ_ns}$. We are interested in multiplicatively generated systems, where each number $e^{λ_n}$ arises as a finite product of some given numbers $\{q_n\}_{n\geq 1}$, $1 < q_n \to \infty$, referred to as Beurling primes. In the classical case, where $λ_n = \log n$, Bohr's theorem holds: if $f$ converges somewhere and has an analytic extension which is bounded in a half-plane $\{\Re s> θ\}$, then it actually converges uniformly in every half-plane $\{\Re s> θ+\varepsilon\}$, $\varepsilon>0$. We prove, under very mild conditions, that given a sequence of Beurling primes, a small perturbation yields another sequence of primes such that the corresponding Beurling integers satisfy Bohr's condition, and therefore the theorem. Applying our technique in conjunction with a probabilistic method, we find a system of Beurling primes for which both Bohr's theorem and the Riemann hypothesis are valid. This provides a counterexample to a conjecture of H. Helson concerning outer functions in Hardy spaces of generalized Dirichlet series.
The following extension of Bohr's theorem is established: If a somewhere convergent Dirichlet series $f$ has an analytic continuation to the half-plane $\mathbb{C}_θ= \{s = σ+it\,:\, σ>θ\}$ that maps $\mathbb{C}_θ$ to $\mathbb{C} \setminus \{α,β\}$ for complex numbers $α\neq β$, then $f$ converges uniformly in $\mathbb{C}_{θ+\varepsilon}$ for any $\varepsilon>0$. The extension is optimal in the sense that the assertion no longer holds should $\mathbb{C}\setminus \{α,β\}$ be replaced with $\mathbb{C}\setminus \{α\}$.
We study composition operators on the Hardy space $\mathcal{H}^2$ of Dirichlet series with square summable coefficients. Our main result is a necessary condition, in terms of a Nevanlinna-type counting function, for a certain class of composition operators to be compact on $\mathcal{H}^2$. To do that we extend our notions to a Hardy space $\mathcal{H}_Λ^2$ of generalized Dirichlet series, induced in a natural way by a sequence of Beurling's primes.
We study composition operators of characteristic zero on weighted Hilbert spaces of Dirichlet series. For this purpose we demonstrate the existence of weighted mean counting functions associated with the Dirichlet series symbol, and provide a corresponding change of variables formula for the composition operator. This leads to natural necessary conditions for the boundedness and compactness. For Bergman-type spaces, we are able to show that the compactness condition is also sufficient, by employing a Schwarz-type lemma for Dirichlet series.
