Inner functions in weighted Hardy spaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Inner functions play a central role in function theory and operator theory on the Hardy space over the unit disk. Motivated by recent works of C. B'en'eteau et al. and of D. Seco, we discuss inner functions on more general weighted Hardy spaces and investigate a method to construct analogues of finite Blaschke products.


Inspired by the works of \textit{C. Bénéteau} et al. [Can. Math. Bull. 61, No. 4, 704--716 (2018; Zbl 1419.46023)] and \textit{D. Seco} [Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 13, No. 4, 1653--1659 (2019; Zbl 1421.30077)], the author was attracted to the very tempting field of weighted spaces, where there is still a lot of things to do. A general weighted Hilbert space \(\mathcal{H}^2_\omega\) corresponding to the weight \(\omega=\{\omega_n\}_{n\ge0}\) of real numbers is defined on the set of all power series \(f=\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nz^n\) considering the scalar product \(\left\langle f,g\right\rangle =\sum_{n=0}^\infty\omega_na_n\overline{b_n}\), where \(g=\sum_{n=0}^\infty b_nz^n\). If \(\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\omega_{n+1}}{\omega_n}=1\), then each \(f\in\mathcal{H}^2_\omega\) is holomorphic, and the bounded operator \(M_z\) of multiplication by \(z\) is a weighted forward shift of multiplicity one. According to the choice of the weight \(\omega\), various weighted spaces are obtained. If \(\omega_n=\frac{1}{n+1}\), then \(\mathcal{H}^2_\omega\) is the Bergman space \(A^2\). If \(\omega_n=n+1\), then \(\mathcal{H}^2_\omega\) coincides with the Dirichlet space \(\mathcal{D}\) of holomorphic functions on the unit disk for which \(\|f\|^2_\mathcal{D}=\|f\|^2_{H^2}+\|f'\|^2_{A^2}<\infty\). A lot of other notions are recalled in the first part of the paper, as multipliers, inner functions, invariant subspaces and their properties. An \(\mathcal{H}^2_\omega\)-inner function is defined by \(\|f\|_{\mathcal{H}^2_\omega}=1\) and \(\left\langle z^mf,f\right\rangle =0\) for all integer \(m\ge 1\). After studying some properties for \(\mathcal{H}^2_\omega\)-inner functions, especially satisfying some modified expansive and contractive multiplier property, a method to construct analogues of finite Blaschke products is provided for \(\mathcal{H}^2_\omega\). Using reproducing kernel methods it is also shown that there exists a unique inner function that can be written as a linear combination of prescribed reproducing kernels and their derivatives. The paper ends with some examples in the Hardy and Bergman spaces which show the generality of the obtained results.
