Vanishing Bergman kernels on the disk (Q1651387)

For a non-negative integrable function \(\omega\) on the unit disk \(\mathbb{D}\subset \mathbb{C}\), let \(A^2_\omega\) be the space of all analytic functions \(f\) on \(\mathbb{D}\) such that \(\|f\|_{A^2_\omega}=\|f\|_{L^2(\omega\, dA)}\) is finite. If the point evaluation \(\lambda_z(f)= f(z)\), \(z\in \mathbb{D}\), is a bounded functional on \(A^2_{\omega}\), there exists a unique function \(B^{\omega}_z\in A^2_{\omega}\) (called the Bergman kernel) such that \( \lambda_z(f)=\langle f,B^{\omega}_z\rangle_{\omega} \), where \(\langle f, g\rangle_{\omega}\) denotes the inner product \( \langle f, g\rangle_{\omega} =\int_{\mathbb{D}}\,f\,\overline{g}\,\omega \,dA. \) It is well known that if \(\nu_\alpha(z)=(\alpha+1)(1-|z|^2)^{\alpha}\), \(\alpha>-1\), then \(B^{\nu_\alpha}_z(w)=(1-w\overline{z})^{-2-\alpha}\). In this case, \(B^{\nu_\alpha}_z\) is analytic in a larger disk than \(\mathbb{D}\) and zero-free in \(\mathbb{D}\). One of the main results of this paper proves that, for every \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), there exists a radial weight \(\omega_\alpha\) such that \(A^2_{\omega_\alpha}=A^2_{\nu_\alpha}\) and \(B^{\omega_\alpha}_z\) has exactly \(n\) zeroes in \(\mathbb{D}\), counting multiplicities, whenever \(|z|\) is sufficiently close to 1. The paper also contains other interesting results on the zeros of the Bergman kernel for weighted Bergman spaces \(A^2_{\omega}\). In particular, if \(\omega\) is a radial weight, then \(B^\omega_z\) cannot have infinitely many zeros in \(\mathbb{D}\). In addition, the author discusses some similar questions for the Segal-Bargmann-Fock space.
