The convex hull of the interpolating Blaschke products (Q1380982): Difference between revisions

Let \(H^{\infty}({\mathbf D})\) be the Hardy space on the open unit disc \({\mathbf D}\). It is known that the Blaschke products do generate \(H^{\infty}({\mathbf D})\) and, in fact, that the closed convex hull of the Blaschke products is the unit ball of \(H^{\infty}({\mathbf D})\). On the other hand, similar assertion about the interpolating Blaschke products remains open. The author proves that if a Blaschke product \(B\) is continuous in the closed unit disk \(\overline{\mathbf D}\) except on a closed set \(E\subset \partial{\mathbf D}\) of Lebesgue measure zero, then \(B\) is contained in \(9K\), where \(K\) denotes the closed convex hull of the interpolating Blaschke products. Moreover, he shows that a generic Blaschke product is contained in \(27K\). This implies that \(K\) contains all \(H^{\infty}({\mathbf D})\) functions with norm not greater than \(1/27\).
