Polynomially bounded solutions to the Loewner differential equation in several complex variables (Q541244): Difference between revisions

In this interesting paper the author is concerned with the form of polynomially bounded solutions to the Loewner differential equation \[ \frac{\partial f}{\partial t}(z,t)=Df(z,t)h(z,t)\quad a.e.,\quad t\geq 0,\quad z\in B^n, \] that is generated by \(A\)-normalized subordination chains \(f(z,t)=e^{tA}z+\cdots\), where \(A\in L(\mathbb{C}^n,\mathbb{C}^n)\) such that \[ m(A):=\min\big\{\Re\langle A(z),z\rangle: \|z\|=1\big\}>0, \] and \(h=h(z,t):B^n\times [0,\infty) \to\mathbb{C}^n\) is a generating vector field that satisfies the following conditions: (i) \(h(\cdot,t)\in {\mathcal N}\), \(Dh(0,t)=A\) for \(t\geq 0\), where \[ {\mathcal N}=\big\{h\in H(B^n): h(0)=0, \Re\langle h(z),z\rangle\geq 0, z\in B^n\big\}; \] (ii) \(h(z,\cdot)\) is measurable on \([0,\infty)\) for \(z\in B^n\). For \(A\in L(\mathbb{C}^n,\mathbb{C}^n)\), let \(k_+(A)=\max\{\Re\lambda:\lambda\in\sigma(A)\}\) be the upper exponential index of \(A\), where \(\sigma(A)\) is the spectrum of \(A\). One of the main results of this paper is given in Theorem 3.3 which says that, if \(k_+(A)<2m(A)\) and \(g(z,t)\) is a polynomially bounded solution to the above Loewner differential equation, then \(g(z,s)\equiv L(f(z,s))\), where \(L=Dg(0,0)\) and \(f(z,s)=\lim_{t\to\infty}e^tv(z,s,t)\) is the unique \(A\)-normalized bounded Loewner chain solution to the above Loewner differential equation. As a consequence, the author proves in Corollary 3.4 that under the same assumption as in Theorem 3.3, if \(f(z,t)\) is a polynomially bounded chain solution to the above Loewner differential equation such that \(Df(0,0)=I_n\), then \(f(z,s)=\lim_{t\to\infty}e^tv(z,s,t)\), and this is the unique \(A\)-normalized bounded chain solution to the same Loewner differential equation, where, for \(z\in B^n\) and \(s\geq 0\), \(v=v(z,s,t)\) is the unique Lipschitz continuous solution on \([s,\infty)\) of the initial value problem \[ \frac{\partial v}{\partial t}=-h(v,t)\quad a.e.,\quad t\geq s,\quad v(z,s,s)=z, \] such that \(v(\cdot,s,t)\) is a univalent Schwarz mapping. The author also includes two suggestive examples where \(f(z,t)\) is even bounded (i.e., locally uniformly bounded), and \(g(z,t)\) can be polynomially bounded or not polynomially bounded. The paper ends with Theorem 3.7 that provides sufficient conditions for the mapping \(g(z,t)=L(f(z,t))\) to be polynomially bounded.
